Tiger Woods-backed golf attraction set for March 4 opening at Broadway at the Beach

A Tiger Woods-backed attraction boasting a 36-hole miniature golf course and indoor playground is slated to open March 4 at Broadway at the Beach.

PopStroke officials told News13 last week the project is among a companywide expansion into 13 cities, with Myrtle Beach being its first South Carolina property.

Tim Glita, the chief people officer with PopStroke, said they chose Myrtle Beach because it’s one of the mini golf capitals of the world. Glita said Broadway at the Beach was the perfect location.

“It’s one of these power shopping centers,” Glita said. “And we’ve done really well in those similar situations in other markets and it’s honestly a no-brainer.”

Founded in 2019, PopStroke facilities include two 18-hole putting courses.

“We are seeing huge consumer demand to bring our immersive experience into new cities. PopStroke was created to bring people together across all ages and skill levels through the game of golf. We are thrilled to expand our reach and share the PopStroke experience with new guests,” PopStroke founder and CEO Greg Bartoli said in a news release.

Documents presented to Myrtle Beach’s community appearance board last February show plans for a 10,930-square-foot building with 3,550 additional square feet for a playground at 1187 Celebrity Circle.
