Highest concentration of miniature golf courses

Myrtle Beach in South Carolina, USA, is known as the "Minigolf Capital of the World" for good reason. In the 60-mile-or-so (100-km) stretch of coast known as the "Grand Strand" running from Murrells Inlet to Calabash on the North Carolina-South Carolina border – of which Myrtle Beach City is the centrepoint – there were 33 active minigolf/crazy golf venues as of 1 September 2022, so one every less than two miles (3.2 km) on average.

Across the 33 minigolf venues, there are at least 53 18-hole courses, equating to one 18-hole minigolf course for every 1.1 miles (1.8 km) of the Grand Strand or one course per every 705 residents of Myrtle Beach City.

The first miniature golf course in Myrtle Beach was established in June 1930, but it was in the early 1970s that the past-time really took off here with multiple sites opening near the seafront. The area is also famous for normal golf with 80–90 full-scale golf courses in the wider Myrtle Beach region.

The USA is likely the country with the most minigolf courses with an estimated 5,000 establishments across the entire nation today. This is a dramatic drop from the game's heyday, though, in the 1930s when there were perhaps more than 25,000 courses in the USA.
