Meet Myrtle Beach’s Mini-Golf Master
Once a year, Mini-Golf’s finest gather under Hawaiian Rumble’s rumbling volcano to strut their stuff at the Mini-Golf Masters tournament in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
If you venture down the sun-soaked boulevards of Myrtle Beach, you’ll soon stumble upon something rather unexpected: a volcano. Rising 40 feet in the air, it erupts every 20 minutes in fiery spectacle over its kingdom: Hawaiian Rumble, a Mini-Golf Course nestled among the town’s neon-lit tourist attractions. With its island vibes and international reputation, Hawaiian Rumble is anything but an ordinary putt-putt spot.
Myrtle Beach, often called the “Mini-Golf Capital of the World,” is home to over 30 imaginatively themed courses. However, Hawaiian Rumble, first opened in 1997, stands out among the rest. Its tiki torches, lush landscaping, and rhythmic Hawaiian tunes transport Mini-Golfers of all ages into a vivid island experience. The course itself is meticulously designed, featuring crafty slopes and cunning hazards to confound amateurs and pros alike.
Once a year, Mini-Golf’s finest gather under Hawaiian Rumble’s rumbling volcano to strut their stuff at the Mini-Golf Masters tournament.

After all, you never know what you’ll find hidden within the coastal charms of South Carolina.
