The course dates to 1975, when it opened as Cap’n Cain Golf. Its ship-shaped clubhouse, lighthouse, and captain became familiar sights on South Kings Highway.
Newly restored for 2026 as Captain Myrtle Mini Golf, the classic 18-hole course is ready for a new generation of Myrtle Beach memories. The course is locally owned and family-run, about 2.5 miles from Myrtle Beach International Airport and close to the beach, downtown attractions, restaurants, and vacation lodging.

Locals in from Murrells Inlet took a ride a couple weeks ago. Noticed the great new updated Captain out front. Decided we need to play. Spent our beautiful Sunday morning playing the course. Fun and challenging yet still got a hole-in-one on number 18. We’ll play again. Thank you so much!

A great old course that was brought back to life with new owners. As they continue to update the course, I am sure more vacationers will partake in this miniature golf course. There were some hard holes and some easy. The new greens definitely make it a little more challenging compared to other courses throughout Myrtle Beach. Great job bringing this old school course back to life.
