PopStroke in Myrtle Beach: Mini Golf Gets a Major Glow-Up

From the time you walk into this massive complex (located in the Key West Village section of Broadway near The Hangout) you'll notice the open-air facility has a clean, modern vibe that feels both welcoming and lively.

There’s energy here, and not just from the kids running across the playground's soft, bouncy turf.

Big TVs show live sports around the bar area, and there are Jumbotron-sized screens at each end of the course that show the day's leaderboard or often feature sports when a big game is happening.

There's plenty to do between rounds. Ping pong, foosball, and cornhole are available for casual play here at no cost (a nice change from some spots which take IDs or charge a few bucks to play).

PopStroke makes the experience seamless thanks to its app. With it, you can keep a digital scorecard for your group and even see your score pop up on the venue's leaderboard.

Drinks and snacks can be ordered right from the course and delivered to your hole. And as you play, dine, and sip, you'll earn PopBucks that rack up toward future rewards. It adds a polished layer to what’s traditionally been a pretty analog activity.

And unlike most mini golf spots, your ball doesn’t disappear after the 18th hole. At PopStroke, you get to keep a custom TaylorMade ball as a souvenir when you finish.

The two 18-hole putting courses at PopStroke are where things really stand out.

Rather than cartoonish themes or oversized props, these courses aim to feel like a real golf experience in miniature. You’ll navigate fairways, bunkers, and rough terrain that have been carefully designed to mimic the challenges of a full-sized course—all using just a putter.

The Blue Course is approachable and a bit more forgiving, perfect for families or those newer to the game. The Black Course ups the ante, with more slopes, tougher reads, and precision-required shots that even seasoned players will find engaging.

Feeling good about your round? Try the "challenge hole" at the end of each course for a chance to take home a big prize. Here, for a small fee you get three shots at a hole-in-one and if you sink it you can earn up to $150 in PopBucks. It's a unique high risk, high reward, way to finish a round.

Both courses are stroller- and wheelchair-friendly, making them inclusive for visitors of all ages and abilities.

It’s a modern take on mini golf that still retains its most important quality: it's fun for everyone. From grandparents to toddlers, anyone can pick up a putter and enjoy the game together. And because there’s no pressure to be good, it’s easy to just have fun and make memories.

Don’t let the golf fool you—PopStroke is a legit place to grab a meal.

The on-site restaurant offers a full menu of upgraded pub favorites, including stacked burgers, crispy wings, loaded fries, and lighter fare like salads and wraps.

There's even a surprising selection of more elevated entrees like Miso Salmon, Grilled Citrus Chicken and Korean Steak Tacos that you might not expect to find on a menu like this. 

Portions are generous, service is fast, and there’s no need to dress up. It’s casual, family-friendly, and easy to settle into whether you’re wrapping up a game or just popping in to watch a game.

The bar is stocked with a wide selection of beers on tap, including local favorites like Grand Strand Brewing Co's Beach Easy, the official beer of Myrtle Beach.

You can enjoy a drink while you play, or take a break and catch the game at one of the many indoor or outdoor seating areas.

And if you’ve got a sweet tooth, don’t miss the handcrafted milkshakes and house-made ice cream, which are worth a visit all on their own.
