Myrtle Beach declares itself to be the “Golf Capital of the World” so it makes sense that it is also full of miniature golf courses. There are tons of themes: pirates, shipwrecks, plane crash, volcano, dinosaur, tropical, shark attack, and even the lost city of Atlantis. The latter is found at Mt. Atlanticus Minotaur Golf, where it’s said that part of the lost city was transported to the main drag in Myrtle Beach by a minotaur named Goff. If you’re looking to while away an afternoon like a Myrtle Beach tourist, mini golf may be just the ticket!
