Overview
Par 3 Golf
As one of the largest golf markets in the world, Myrtle Beach and its nearby beach communities offer something for every level of player. In addition to the numerous family friendly miniature golf courses, and over 100 championship golf courses, the Grand Strand area also boasts a number of Par 3 courses as well; and that means more smiles per swing. Par 3 courses are both fun and challenging for both the casual and experienced golfer. With their substantially shorter yardage, Par 3 courses can be played with as few as two clubs, typically an iron and a putter. Golfers need not bring their own clubs as the clubhouses have a wide variety from which to choose. Also the option of playing 9 or 18 holes allows for a quick enjoyable golf experience without the lengthy time commitment needed to play a full size course. Most Par 3 courses in the area also feature a driving range to work on your long game.
Midway Par 3
Located on the south end of Myrtle Beach, Midway Par 3 prides itself as a challenging, yet friendly Par 3 course. The course incorporates elevation changes, water hazards and beautiful scenic views of the Atlantic Ocean. These elements combine to give players a sense of full-size course play in a scaled-down setting where short game and putting skills are put to the test.

Harbor View Golf
With 18 well-manicured holes in a scenic wooded setting, Harbour View is one of the premier Par 3 courses in the area. They also have one of the Top 50-rated driving ranges in the U.S. Harbour View also offers the exciting Tribal Island Miniature Golf Course for players of all ages. The Par 3 course, miniature course, and driving range are all well lit for evening play.
Tupelo Bay Golf Center
Tupelo Bay Golf Center, located just off U.S.17 on the south end of the Strand, offers a range of courses and amenities for both the casual and serious golfer. The 18-hole executive course presents challenging landscapes, but in a more compact layout. Additionally, a 9-hole course, driving range, disc golf, and pro shop make Tupelo Bay Golf Center an excellent choice for your Par 3 outing.
