Professor Hacker's Dinosaur Adventure Golf

Played the Raptor course on Oct 17th, 2024. Great mini-golf course. The holes are well designed. They are not overly tricky but they will challenge you. The courses are beautifully landscaped and very well maintained. Everyone will love it. Plenty if parking also.

My kids had a great time here! They have two different 18-hole courses. One is easier and one is more difficult. The dinosaurs and the boat were a great touch. We went with 6 adults and three children, ages eight, six, and three. While no three year old can really manage to play miniature golf, he was free and given a plastic club and felt included. He later asked to go back to the "cool dinosaur park." Our older two children go into it and enjoyed the experience! The time to get it and the line was short when we arrived around 9:45AM, so I would highly recommend going in the morning. The course itself was creative and fun. You can also feed the fish for a quarter, and the fish are colorful and made my kids' day.

Great putt putt course. Played 18 holes for $14 and after playing thought it was priced right. Holes were fun and not crazy hard. Landscaping and theme were very cool. They do have ice cream and you can even buy a trophy for the winner for about $12 which I thought was really cool.

Not the newest or cheapest, but hey it was a fun course and we loved the fake dinosaurs. I'm a sucker for a well executed gimmick, and this place has a good one.

It was our first time trying mini golf and this place was very near to where we were staying so we decided to give it a shot! It was so much fun and T-rex course is really cool as it takes you up and down and your ball is in danger of going into the water so be careful and carry extra balls from the beginning! We had lots of fun and turns out we were not bad at it! We actually won free games! They have other locations as well so we thought we will go and check that out instead but we should have come back here only! This was much better!

Had a blast playing here with my Fiancee. It is a perfect place to spend time if u want a quick and fun course. You have options on playing easier course and a more challenging course. Pulling into the parking lot was very convenient as it is very spacious. It is clean and well maintained, staff are super nice & accommodating. Place for all ages. Highly recommended.

Worth the stop! We had soooo much fun!! We did the T-rex course first and it was great so we had to do the Raptor course too! We love how we had to go up the boat, went down and up the hill near the waterfalls. It was challenging but at the same time entertaining. We love the vibe and the placement of the holes too! Great place to bring kids. The staff was really friendly. Would definitely recommend when you visit North Myrtle Beach!

Great time for pretty inexpensive! We did the "T-Rex course" which they said was easier than the "raptor course" but we must just suck at mini golf! The T Rex course goes up on the boat and you get fun pictures, though, so would recommend! The last hole makes you shoot in the river, which is a fun twist. A great afternoon activity, but the people behind us were much faster, so we felt that we were slowing them down a bit.

Overall, super fun course. It's $14 per person. Kids working the booth were nice and friendly. Course was exceptionally clean and well kept. We had a great time. If you get any hole in 1, you get to reach in a box and pull out a chip. If the number on your chip matches the number of the hole in 1 you got, you get a free game.

Nice miniature golf course, needs some minor maintenance on the course itself. The course played well except for the loose bricks messing up shots.

We had so much fun! We've played at the one in Salter Path, NC several times. Nice and clean and is good for groups and families.

While in Myrtle Beach on vacation, my family and I wanted to play some mini golf. Myrtle Beach is known as a golfing hot bed, but they also have a ton of miniature golf courses. Most of them have some really cool themes and some cool props built into the course. We decided to go to the Professor Hacker's Dinosaur Adventure Park because quite frankly, dinosaurs are the best theme I could even imagine! There is a small clubhouse you walk in to begin. For three of us, it was $36, but you get access to both 18-hole courses. It took us about an hour and a half to finish all 36-holes. Many of the holes require you think plan your shot ahead, which adds to the enjoyment factory. The place was crawling with families and everyone seemed to be having a good time. At the end of the round, I was crowned the champion, which made it al the better. If you are in town on vacation or are just a local looking to have a good time, you should definitely check this place out.

Not the best mini golf course we've tried. I wish the par numbers were labeled more clearly. Some of the water features were stagnant, home to mosquitoes and quite stinky. Most of the dinosaur statues needed a refresher.

Loved this mini golf location in North Myrtle Beach. Everything new, neat and clean, great service, 2 courses with discount if you play both. Great way to enjoy a few hours with friends.

We were very disappointed the other day when trying out a different mini golf course. Luckily, this mini golf course was the total opposite! Two 18 hole courses with lots of fun obstacles and varying slants/hills which makes it fun for people of all ages and skill levels. It was only $9 a person when we went on a Monday afternoon and they had Covid-19 policies set in place. The course was well maintained with the occasional leaf/shrubbery from the wind of the day. All in all, a great way to spend 1-2 hours of your day when vacationing in Myrtle Beach!

Great spot to play mini golf. My kids loved it and it was very convenient to our condo. The course is well maintained and offers enough of a challenge to keep all levels engaged. Pro tip for us was going earlier in the day we got to play both courses. Raptor course is harder but the tree course I thought was much more interesting with the features involved. The boys already want to go back tomorrow! For me the price was appropriate for the course and fun the kids had. Would recommend easily in the future

I love this place!! I like how there were two different courses so my boyfriend and I didn't have to wait in line after all of the families with kids. We had a blast!

This is one of the many themed mini golf places in town. I'm not entirely sure why themed mini golf is quite so popular, but it does seem to be. This one has a dinosaur theme. Cost isn't too bad. Be aware that there are coupons in the Myrtle Beach coupon booklets to save a $1 off per person up to 4 people anytime before 6PM. I'd recommend you try and come not during the peak sun times in a day as most of the course is with direct sunlight, and it gets hot quickly. There are two separate courses - the Raptor and the T-rex courses. Each one has 18 holes. They will pick one of them to start you on to try and spread out the groups to avoid too much wait time. We did have to wait on the family in front of us, but it was nothing ridiculous - less than a couple minutes after each hole. You can choose to try the other path at a pretty steep discount after you're done (over 50% off, I think?) The course itself was a bit lacking on the creativity factor. It's sorta like if you had a mini golf course - then decorated a lot of the space *AROUND* the course with dinosaurs. I have no idea why there were dinosaurs on the course itself - like shooting through a stegosaurus's legs or having a dinosaur tail sweep your ball out of the wall. Most of the courses were straight shots with a little bit of hill involved. For 18 holes, this doesn't give a whole lot of creativity and variance. The decor itself was pretty awesome though. For kids who love dinos, it might be really cool. There are dinosaurs everywhere, but they're off the course and multiple signs warn against touching or climbing on them. Other reviewers mention the dinosaurs making noise, but we didn't hear any noise while we were there. Not a bad place to enjoy mini golf, and it was fun enough (less than an hour's worth of entertainment, I think, though), but it wasn't anything too outstanding. The course really could use a bit more variance, and I was hoping for a bit more interaction with the Jurassic theme. Decent amount of photo ops, though!

After multiple golf courses this is the first one I've been to that didn't feel like a sketchy trailer park amenity. Well groomed and maintained. Professional looking and friendly staff. Balls are bright and new looking. Plenty of variety in the course we played and even got a hole in one in the 18! So far this is the best course we've been in the area. We will have to try out the other Prof. Hacker courses.

Very fun, best my brother by two on both courses! I would give it five stars but some of the holes had minor damage to the green but it's hardly noticeable.

Good group rates and military friendly. Typical vacation mini golf for a good value.

Went here last night with my girlfriend and my family and we had an amazing time! We thought we were going to Professor Hacker's Lost Treasure golf but this place was just as amazing! I forget which course we played (T-Tex?), but it took us right through the center of a ship. The dinosaurs throughout the course were a hit - my mom loves anklyosauruses, so the one between holes 17 and 18 was a perfect decoration! Hole 13 was a funny one - we all succeeded in hitting our balls over the water! This is a challenging but fun course. Looking for a fun end to a day? This is your place. ‍‍

Cute, they take you to the start of the course by TRAIN! I am not at all a mini-golf specialist but this course was very clean and well maintained. The course is adventurous yet well accessibly even for the unsure footed among us. The kids enjoyed the water features, bridges, tunnels, rock overhangs and all the dinos!

Nicely maintained course and great customer service from the young man working the counter. He was very friendly. In a town with so many golf courses, customer service is the difference maker for us.

So I enjoyed the T-Rex course much more than the raptor course. Overall, the aesthetic is fun, and they have special things for if you get a hole in one or beat the par. I enjoyed this course, but there is one better that I've been to. I recommend going to this one :)

Liked this one, especially that they give you a free game if you get a hole in one on the chosen hole of the day.

Fun afternoon of mini golf at Dinosaur Adventure Park. Thanks to the honest staff who looked us up on Facebook to notify us we had left our credit card at the course. Much appreciated. A challenging course. Thank you!

This place is great and challenging! I took my family here to play and their tough course is REALLY tough! The greens were brand new but there weren't that many obstacles and the dinosaurs needed some repainting. Overall I would recommend if you want a challenging course to play!

Small course. VERY expensive for mini golf ($10 per person, even kids!). I think there are better options.

The scenery is beautiful but their rules are a little crazy in my family we have a one year old and a 6 year old it's hard to make them abide by them......we didn't follow any of them but otherwise nice atmosphere nice staff and a fun time

I like Professor Hacker's Lost Treasure Golf. They have two courses that are pretty fun. You also get a miner cart train ride to the start of the courses. The courses both start at the top of a hill. You work your way down the hill as you move thru the course. A fair amount of things to look at along the way. Course is well maintained.

This course was well maintained and very fun to play! Was hot but the course has holes inside the "ship" with shade, and we enjoyed a cold drink at the end while chatting with a very friendly manager. He showed us the trick on the last hole of the T Rex course and it was very fun! Will definitely be back next year and hoping the new dinosaurs and other planned improvements will be done by then. Love it!

One of many (seriously...MANY) mini-golf options in Myrtle Beach. Not surprising since that is true of most beach areas. Lots of the other mini-golf options look sad and run down. But this place was clean, well-maintained (no peeling paint or ripped greens here), and had lots of interesting sights for the kids. It looks like it could be the set of the Jurassic Park movies, what with the dinos in cages and a boat with a hole in the side. Some of the dinosaurs were life-like enough to scare our littlest family member! I especially liked the water features integrated into some of the holes. The staff was friendly and with the coupon readily available in those coupon booklets, it wasn't too pricey. If you are looking for something to do with the kids, this place is worth a visit.

Our family had a great time! Challenging course, friendly owner/manager. Loved the cheesy dinosaur statues. We will be back.

Really fun, clean, well-maintained course. Great for families. However, the highlight of your time at Dinosaur Adventure Mini Golf will be meeting AC, the manager. She is cheerful, positive and the epitome of Southern hospitality. Just skip the others and go here.

Very well maintained and exciting place to take the family to play mini golf. You ride a train to the top of the mountain to start off your adventure which the kids loved as well as the big one too. There are two course.....Gold and Diamond. We did not get to pick which course we wanted and that's why I gave this course 4 stares instead of 5. However, they do this on purpose to divide up the groups so their guest have a better experience which greatly improves the wait time between holes . Again, very nice, family oriented and fun mini golf course that you should check out!

This is a great place for miniature golf. The holes are not too challenging but fun. However, I would like to point out that lost treasure golf is not the same as dinosaur adventure golf. Here at lost treasure golf the only dinosaur is a giant skeleton. Also, there is usually a train that takes you to the course. However, the train was not there when we went there (maybe that was because we were the only ones there). Other than that it was a wonderful experience.

Showed up at 9:30 pm last night (Thursday) with my 6 year old. The young girls at the counter said they were really busy. I told them we had no problem waiting. They basically told me that I should go somewhere else. They said all of the Prof. Hacker places would be busy. So, I took my son, who was disappointed because he wanted to play the course with the dinosaurs, and I happily gave another business my $20. ‍

The staff were friendly and course was clean and well kept. We had fun! We did the T-Rex course and it was challenging enough to keep us engaged and had cute props for some Dino ambiance and fun photos!! Lots of slopes and hazards. The price was a little steep but we enjoyed the family time and fun. We would go back.

Great course! Very well maintained and the girls loved the dinosaurs. The turf is like new and the holes were fun.

Loved the Train / Mine Car Ride at the beginning of the round. Unique, distinguishing touch for a miniature golf course. The course was in excellent condition and was quite clean. My seven year old son said it was one of his all time favorites.

Took our 2 and 4 yr old here just after they opened at 9am (to beat the heat and lines). Practically had the place to ourselves. The manager was super nice, offered to let us play another 18 holes for free since they weren't busy, and he let the kids keep their balls because they were sad when they disappeared down the 18th hole. Fun for the youngsters to play, not too challenging, and courteous staff. Couldn't ask for more.

Visited both Dinosaur Adventure and Lost Treasure courses. My seven year old son had a blast playing these courses with his grandparents and I. Lots to see and the courses were playable for all ages.

Great little golf course.... The train ride to the top was cool too! The photos that are on this review are of a different course just down the street though.

Fun for the family! Not too crowded and super clean! Looks like new paint, AstroTurf and landscaping. A little off the beaten path, but worth the drive. Staff was polite and efficient!

I'm a miniature golf enthusiast and I've played courses in 20 states. This is a very nice course. The train ride to the top of the mountain is great for the kids. The holes have some challenge and some random results. Most of them are pretty straightforward, but there are certainly more difficult ones as well, and lots of elevation changes, curves and hills to be had on a number of holes. Pros: The greens are immaculate, very well-maintained course all-around, great for kids. Cons: No kids' price-- $8 regardless of age. A bit steep. The staff were a bit curt and/or depressed-looking. I'd play this course again. The kids had a good time for sure, and I enjoyed myself as well.

Mystery hole was 12 and we got a hole in one on 4 not worth it. no wow factor other than a couple of poorly positioned dinosaurs

We had an amazing time at this mini golf course!! The holes were a lot of fun, and not too hard. The course was very well maintained and the dinosaur theme was really cool. The best mini golf course in Myrtle!

Have been to both Lost Treasure and Dinosaur Adventure. Enjoyed Lost Treasure and the Train Ride. Dinosaur Adventure was very average. Also, Dinosaur Adventure has a sign that advertises children 4 & under free with paying adult. However, when I paid for an all-day pass ($13.00) all of a sudden now it was going to cost $8.50 (!!!$8.50!!!) for my 3-year-old to play along. False advertising never sits well with me. Stick with Lost Treasure - the Dinosaurs went extinct for a reason...

Welp, this is my first Yelp! I never do this, but when a place goes above and beyond to ensure that their customers have the best experience possible they deserve it (Carter the manager)! I am a teacher and only wish that I lived here so that I could bring my class! Awesome courses, fantastic customer service...we'll be back!

I've mini golfed in many place in North Myrtle, this is one of our favorites. The prices are equal to, or lower than others in the area. The course is very well kept and fun. They actually take credit cards and don't try and rip you off with a high percentage ATM in the lobby (Hawaiian Rumble). They have nice bathrooms, and a snow cone shop on site. We will be back!

I was quite frankly disappointed, nay, offended by the myriad scientific inaccuracies concerning the dinosaurs in your dinosaur adventure. First off, the dimetrodon is not even a dinosaur. It is actually a synapsid, which lived 295-272 million years ago, before dinosaurs even existed. In fact, many of your dinosaurs lived at completely different time periods and in completely different locations. It was like you weren't even trying. You had a stegosaurus near a tyrannosaurus when they were not contemporaneous animals. In fact, the cretaceous tyrannosaurus is further removed, temporally, from the jurassic stegosaurus than it is from humans. These pigeon-sh!t dinosaurs were all wildly inaccurate reconstructions of the majestic animals they were supposed to emulate. Many were positioned in the long defunct kangaroo stance when they should have held their bodies horizontally, using the tail to balance. Your allosaurus's head was very inaccurately shaped. The most egregious offense, however, was the raptor. It had two fingers on each hand when it should have had three, and the hands were pronated, which the wrist bones of dromeosaurs did not allow for. And where were the feathers? We've known for years now that all dromeosaurs, and many other species of dinosaurs, were covered in feathers. The whole experience made me seriously question Professor Hacker's credentials. I mean, is he even a paleontologist? All in all, nothing to write home about.
