Tribal Island, Little River, SC (other) - Locating Tiki

There are two courses. Volcano Valley is the one with the tiki and the volcano. The other course is called Tiki Bay, though it features no tikis. During our visit, the volcano erupted at intervals of 30 minutes. It fired twice in rapid succession, enabling time to get a pic. I'm afraid the faces on the volcano have names on signs underneath. The two on the left are "Jimbo" and "the Stuff." I am spared remembrance of the third name. There is one tiki on the course, other than the three on the volcano. Our travel mascot is not, of course, part of the course. We play a great deal of miniature golf and our reaction to this place is mixed. The course is clean, well maintained and challenging without being too hard. The gimmic volcano (not an uncommon feature in Myrtle Beach) is entertaining and the drum music on the PA really enhances the mood. We liked the music so much that we asked the guy behind the counter what is was, and that brings me to the negative aspect of the place. The guy working the counter was surly, rude and seemed annoyed that we were disturbing his reading by paying for a game or asking questions. It may be worth noting that during our visit, on a Sunday afternoon of pleasant weather, there was only one other party there. If you plan to be in this area and want to play some mini-golf, be aware that competition among mini-golf courses seems to be fierce and Tribal Island was, at the time of our visit, honoring competitors coupons. This allowed us a "two people for the price of one" deal. Look for deals in the "Monster Coupon Book" and other mini-golf coupons on brochure racks in stores, motels and restaurants.
