Indoor Golf in Myrtle Beach: Six Places to Play When the Weather Turns
Indoor Golf in Myrtle Beach: Six Places to Play When the Weather Turns
For decades the Grand Strand had more than 80 golf courses and almost nowhere to hit a ball under a roof. In the space of about two years that has completely changed. Six indoor facilities have opened between Pawleys Island and the North Carolina line, and every one of them is a genuine option on the afternoon your tee time gets washed out.
This matters more for golf trips than most visitors realize. A February front or a summer thunderstorm used to end the golf for the day. Now there is a simulator bay within about half an hour of wherever your group is staying, most of them with a bar and a kitchen attached, and most of them happy to take a walk in booking from six people who have nothing else to do until the rain stops.
Here is what has opened, where each one sits on the Strand, and what it costs. The reporting behind this piece comes from On the Green Magazine, which has covered each opening as it happened.
The North Strand Three Facilities
The north end has the most indoor golf of anywhere on the Strand, which suits the groups who base themselves around North Myrtle Beach, Little River and Calabash.
Pin Point Indoor Pickleball and Golf Little River
The biggest indoor golf building on the Grand Strand by a distance. Pin Point took over a former Sports Zone and filled 47,000 square feet with seven golf bays, nine pickleball courts, a pro shop, a full kitchen and a second floor bar that looks down on all of it. Six bays sit on the ground floor beside a chipping and putting green, and the seventh is a VIP bay upstairs.
Every bay runs a Trackman iO overhead launch monitor with more than 500 courses loaded, plus a driving range and a diagnostics test center, and each one holds at least six golfers. Adam Holmes is the director of golf on site, doing lessons, club fittings and regripping. Memberships and leagues are available if you are local, but a visiting group can simply rent a bay by the hour.

Golfluent Little River
Golfluent was the north end original, opened by Rudy and Ashley Rueda at 1763 Highway 17 near the North Carolina border. It rents bays by time rather than running on memberships, which is exactly what a visiting group wants, and it was deliberately built as a family space rather than a bar with screens in it.
Five simulators carry more than 300 courses, games and a practice range. Four are paired with Trackman iO units built around simulator play and one runs a Trackman 4 with the extra data used for instruction and fittings. PXG rental clubs are on site, so nobody has to go back to the condo for a bag.
Net Par Shallotte Shallotte, N.C.
The newest of the six, and the first to sit in Brunswick County rather than South Carolina. Net Par opened on Aug. 8, 2026 at 4636 East Coast Lane in a purpose built unit, with four Trackman bays, a bar, a food menu of flatbreads and shareables, a wall of televisions and a 700 square foot patio.
It is a franchise but a family run one. Kurt and Amanda Terry bought the franchise after three decades of family vacations in Brunswick County, and their children Courtland and Garret Wood moved down to run it. PGA of America instructor Sam Cole gives lessons on site and club fittings are available. A full grand opening is planned for early October, with leagues for men, women, couples, seniors and juniors starting over the winter.
Bay pricing on the Strand runs from $30 to $60 an hour and usually covers the whole bay rather than each player. Split between four or six golfers that is a cheap couple of hours, which is why simulator bays fill up fast the moment rain shows on the radar.
Myrtle Beach Itself Two Facilities
Central Strand splits neatly into one serious practice center and one that is genuinely just fun.
Mashie Golf Institute Myrtle Beach
Mashie is the training center of the group, built by the father and son team of Rob and Christopher Griffin at 4205 North Kings Highway. At 8,400 square feet it is the most comprehensive practice space in the market, open around the clock to members, and the stated ambition was a 24 hour fitness club for golfers.
Inside are three simulators on Full Swing monitors, a five station monitored range hitting into netting, a 1,000 square foot putting and chipping green with real undulation and rough around the edges, a fitting bay, a conference room and a gym set up for golf specific work. Every swing gets video and 16 club, impact and ball data points, and you practice with your own ball.
Mashie runs on memberships rather than hourly bays, though day passes have been part of the model. When it opened in January 2025 the owners were offering $25 day passes and planned to move to $40 for locals and $60 for visitors, so check the current position before you drive over.
Golftopia Sayebrook, off S.C. 544
The most unlikely one on the list, and the easiest sell to a group that cannot agree on anything. BurgerFi owner Larry Higgins built a private simulator room inside his restaurant at Sayebrook Town Center, with a couch facing the screen, bartop seating behind it and black curtains that close the room off from the diners.
The screen runs a Trackman iO with roughly 400 courses, a putting mode, a range mode and a stack of games, and there is a tripod for filming your swing. Scott Tanguay, head of instruction at The Coastal Golf Academy at Whispering Pines, teaches there by appointment. Six beers rotate on tap and the burgers arrive at the bartop, which makes it the low effort option after a soaked morning round.

The South Strand One Facility
Performance Indoor Golf Pawleys Island
The first of the wave to open, and the one that serves groups staying down the Hammock Coast around Pawleys Island, Litchfield and Murrells Inlet. Two couples own it, Jimmy and Julie Hiott alongside Garland and Vicki Greenway, and they built 2,000 square feet with three hitting bays.
Each bay runs a ceiling mounted Trackman iO giving 24 data points on swing, contact and ball flight, with a television and Bose speakers for the sound of the shot or whatever is on live. There is no dedicated putting green, but the indoor carpet takes putting practice. Members get in from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily through a bluetooth door on the ProDataKey app, and the whole facility can be booked by a group.

The Two Everybody Already Knows Open Air
Topgolf and PopStroke get mentioned in the same breath as indoor golf, and neither one actually is. Worth knowing before your group votes on where to go in a downpour.
Building a Rain Plan Into Your Trip
Nobody books a Myrtle Beach golf trip hoping to spend an afternoon on a screen. But four day trips lose an afternoon often enough that it is worth knowing the answer in advance rather than working it out from a hotel parking lot.
Know the one nearest your base Before You Arrive
North Myrtle Beach and Little River groups have three within twenty minutes. Central Myrtle Beach has Mashie and Golftopia. Pawleys Island and Litchfield groups have Performance Indoor Golf on the doorstep. Pick yours when you book the rooms, not on the day.
Call the course before you write the round off Same Morning
Grand Strand storms move through fast and most courses stay playable. Your Golfmaster can tell you whether a delay or a move to the afternoon is realistic before anybody starts hunting for a simulator.
Use it for the winter trip too January and February
Cold snaps close greens on the Strand occasionally, and a bay at 70 degrees keeps a golf trip feeling like a golf trip. Several facilities also do club fittings, which is a better use of a cold morning than a shopping mall.
These are independent businesses and we do not book them as part of a package. Reserve a bay directly with the facility, ideally the night before if the forecast looks poor, because the good bays go early on a wet day.
Where the Real Golf Still Happens Stay and Play
Indoor golf is the backup, not the trip. The trip is still 80 plus courses within an hour of each other, and the part that used to take a week of emails now takes one screen. Our online booking shows live tee times and live prices across the Grand Strand, and our stay and play packages price the rooms and the rounds together per golfer.
Plan the Golf, and the Wet Afternoon
Tell a Golfmaster your dates and group size and we will build the trip around the courses you want, and tell you which indoor bay is nearest to wherever you end up staying.

Facility details, rates and hours are as reported by On the Green Magazine at the time each business opened, between September 2024 and August 2026, and are published here for orientation only. Independent facilities set their own prices and change them, so confirm current rates and availability directly with the business before you travel.
