Surfside Beach Welcomes New Mini Golf Haven: Mulligan’s Lagoon
Surfside Beach, SC, has just rolled out the red carpet for a brand new family destination! Introducing Mulligan’s Lagoon, the latest and greatest mini golf course that promises a day filled with fun and laughter. Located conveniently at 735 Highway 17 S, this vibrant new spot features a lively surfer theme across its 18 holes, sure to excite players of all ages.
Fun-Filled Features
Get ready for some golfing adventures as you navigate through spectacular course features, such as a giant yellow airplane, colorful tiki torches, delightful seashell-studded obstacles, and lush palm trees that create that perfect tropical vibe. Whether you’re a mini golf pro or a first-time player, Mulligan’s Lagoon has a delightful experience in store just waiting for you!
But that’s not all folks! The facility is more than just a mini golf course; it boasts an exciting arcade and a pizza parlor. So after you sink that hole-in-one (or simply have fun trying), you can refuel with some delicious pizza or challenge your friends to a game in the arcade. It’s a combo that would put a smile on anyone’s face!
A Family-Focused Business
The new Mulligan’s Lagoon marks the second location developed by the Professor Hacker’s group, an experienced name in the amusement business for over 30 years. Their first Mulligan’s Lagoon is located in sweeping Daytona Beach, Florida. The managing member of this exciting enterprise, Chris Bethea, has expressed enthusiasm about this venture, highlighting the pressing need for more family-friendly entertainment options in Surfside Beach, especially after the unfortunate closure of the local water park.
This new addition is essential considering the recent closure of the Water and Wheels water park in 2022. Considering Surfside Beach’s motto is “The family beach,” it’s clear that attractions like Mulligan’s Lagoon will follow suit and provide fun-filled days for families visiting the area.
A Growing Mini Golf Scene
With Mulligan’s Lagoon now operational, the Professor Hacker’s group also operates three other mini golf courses in the nearby North Myrtle Beach area, including:
- Professor Hacker’s Lost Treasure Golf located at 1705 Highway 17 S
- Professor Hacker’s Dinosaur Adventure Golf at 701 Highway 17 S
- Professor Hacker’s Mayday Golf at 715 Highway 17 N
Exciting Events Ahead
This event has grown remarkably since its inception in 1997, which only attracted 17 participants. Today, it involves thrilling play across three mini-golf courses, along with social activities designed for all who love the game.
