Myrtle Beach, Miniature Golf and Pancake Houses



Myrtle Beach - mini golf capital of the world!






What can you say about Myrtle Beach, SC?  Mama always said if you can’t say something nice…
Lots of nice golf courses, a destination for many that golf, something we do occasionally but not with great passion.  Beaches are nice and wide; many hotel options, lots of good restaurants (recommend the Soho) excellent steak, seafood & sushi plus it is one of the hottest spots in town.
Besides golf and the beach, other things MB is famous for include:

  •  Bike Weeks – several motorcycle rallies have historically run consecutively and are among the biggest, and some say rowdiest in the country.  MB, Horry (pronounced “orry”, by the way – the H is silent) County, and several surrounding towns have moved to make it more difficult for the rallies to take place and numbers are down. See http://myrtlebeachbikerinfo.com/message.html
  • Mini or miniature golf – MB and surrounding areas have over 40 mini-golf courses.  We did an informal survey and counted over 22 on our route through town, some of the most amazing are pictured above.  North MB is also home to the U.S. ProMiniGolf Association, read all about it on their website http://www.prominigolf.com/index.html and the ProMiniGolf Masters Tournament.
  • Pancake houses – like pancakes? Got syrup? Go to Myrtle Beach, we counted over 20 just on the main roads on our drive through.
