The tropical landscape with its focal 40-ft volcano that erupts with a “rumble” every 20 minutes, sets this course apart. For those seeking a bit of sporty fun, the on-site batting cages are an added bonus.

As an avid golfer, I don’t usually pay much heed to mini golf, but I must admit, these courses do sound intrigued. The way you describe them, it’s like they’re more of an ‘experience’ than merely a game. Mount Atlanticus Miniature Golf and the Dragon’s Lair Fantasy Golf certainly caught my eye—could be a good non-beach activity for our next family vacation!
Had an absolute blast at Mount Atlanticus last summer. The multi-tiered greens had me pulling my hair out (in a good way!). If you’re up for a challenge, it’s a must-visit.
The mini golf game at Myrtle Beach sounds like a whole lot of fun! Can’t wait to plan a trip with the kids. Just out of curiosity, does anyone have a personal favorite among these? I’m sure they’d love the Jungle Safari Mini Golf! Cheers for the fantastic rundown as always!
Looks like Jungle Safari Mini Golf is where I’m headed next! Fancy a round in an African safari without leaving Myrtle Beach. What’s not to love?
Professor Hacker’s was a solid choice for us last time. It’s not just about playing golf but also about the overall storyline and adventure. Balanced difficulty and engaging. Highly recommended!
Does the dragon at Dragon’s Lair Fantasy Golf actually ‘breathe’ smoke? Asking for my 6-year-old who is a huge fan of dragons!
Trust me, the rumble of that volcano at Hawaiian Rumble Golf, it kind of startles you the first time you hear it, but it does add a certain charm to the ambiance.
