Although Myrtle Beach is littered with plenty of miniature golf courses, travelers say the most popular is the Mt. Atlanticus Miniature Golf course. Like a real mountain, you'll find yourself physically ascending as you putt through the holes, which range in difficulty. The entire course features interesting obstacles of various creatures and architectural challenges. The complex offers a total of 36 holes of mini-golf set in two courses, the Conch and the Minotaur. Plus, if you try for a hole-in-one at the last hole, you could win free games for life. Recent visitors say it provides affordable fun for the whole family after a long day on the beach. 

Visitors can choose to play one course ($10 for kids younger than 12; $12 for adults) or buy an all-day play pass, which is valid until 6 p.m. ($12 for kids younger than 12; $14 for adults). You can also play one course after 6 p.m. ($10 for kids younger than 12; $12 for adults). Mt. Atlanticus is open daily from 9 a.m. to midnight.
