World"
MYRTLE
BEACH, S.C., May 15, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Visit Myrtle Beach
is excited to announce the Myrtle Beach Mini Golf Trail featuring
more than 30 distinct courses along the Grand Strand. Designed for
enjoyment by both visitors and locals, this new trail invites
families, golf enthusiasts and putt-putt fans to explore the area's
iconic miniature golf experiences.
"We are delighted to unveil the Myrtle Beach Mini Golf Trail, a
first-of-its-kind entertainment experience that invites both
visitors and locals to discover our destination like never before,"
said Karen Riordan, president and
CEO, Visit Myrtle Beach. "This trail not only highlights the unique
charm and imaginative design of our miniature golf courses but also
reinforces our status as the 'Mini Golf Capital of the World.'"
The trail offers a unique interactive experience, which allows
players to 'check-in' at each of the courses along the trail using
a digital pass on their mobile device. Players can accumulate
points with each check-in, redeemable for prizes including
stickers, water bottles, hats and t-shirts. The digital pass is
available at VisitMyrtleBeach.com/minigolf.
Reflecting nearly a century of history with the sport and
boasting more courses per capita than anywhere else in the world,
the Myrtle Beach area is a true
destination for miniature golf enthusiasts. Course designer James
"Poddy" Bryan, whom Sports Illustrated deemed the "Father of
Modern Miniature Golf," designed approximately 20 courses in the
Myrtle Beach area and was
responsible for more than 200 nationwide. His final design in
Myrtle Beach, Mt. Atlanticus
Miniature Golf, opened in 1998 and still stands today as an icon of
mini golf experiences at the corner of 8th Avenue North and Kings
Highway.
With golf already a focal point of local and visitor interests
with the Myrtle Beach Classic held May 9-12,
2024, the launch of the Myrtle Beach Mini Golf Trail is
perfectly timed. Myrtle Beach is
also known as the 'Golf Capital of The World,' boasting more than
80 championship courses, nearly 2.8 million rounds played annually,
and seven area courses listed among GolfWeek's Top 200
Resort Courses in the U.S.
