Pin Point Indoor Pickleball & Golf: North Myrtle Beach’s Premier Year-Round Sports Destination

Most people who come to North Myrtle Beach arrive with a plan that involves sand, saltwater, and sunscreen. The beach is the whole point — and on a clear morning when the light is soft and the tide is pulling back from the shore near Cherry Grove, it is easy to see why. But anyone who has spent more than a long weekend on the Grand Strand knows that a vacation here is more than a stretch of shoreline. It is an entire world of things to do, places to be, and people to meet — and that world just got considerably more interesting.

Pin Point Indoor Pickleball & Golf opened its Little River location in early 2026, and it has already established itself as one of the most compelling new venues on the northern end of the Strand. Tucked into a 47,000-square-foot building off S.C. Highway 90 — the same corridor that winds from Conway straight down to the North Myrtle Beach coastline — Pin Point brings together nine professional-grade pickleball courts, seven Trackman golf simulator bays, a full-service bar and restaurant, and private event space under a single roof. It is open seven days a week, it welcomes players from absolute beginners to serious competitors, and it does not care one bit whether it is raining outside.

For visitors staying in Ocean Drive or Crescent Beach, Pin Point is the kind of place that turns a rainy afternoon into a highlight of the trip. For golf enthusiasts who have come to the Grand Strand specifically for its legendary courses, it is a chance to work on your swing at 7 in the morning before the tee time arrives. And for locals, it is shaping up to be exactly the kind of anchor social venue that Little River has long deserved.

Nine Courts, One Obsession: Pickleball at Pin Point

If pickleball has a spiritual home on the Grand Strand, Pin Point is making a convincing case for the title. The facility’s nine courts stretch across the left side of the main floor, outfitted with CushionX flooring — the same cushioned, joint-friendly surface that serious players and physical therapists tend to agree on as the gold standard for indoor play. The courts are well-lit, properly dimensioned, and designed to handle everything from casual open play to organized tournament competition.

Open play runs daily and is priced at $15 for a two-hour session for non-members — enough time to get loose, find your game, and make a few new friends, which tends to happen naturally in pickleball no matter where you play it. If your group wants a dedicated court without sharing, full court reservations are $50 per hour and can be booked in advance through Pin Point’s online portal. A small pro shop and snack bar near the entrance handles paddles and quick refreshments for those who want to stay in the zone between sessions.

For those who want to improve rather than just rally, Pin Point offers structured clinics and individual lessons with certified instructors. Leagues are up and running — Pin Point’s first organized competition league featured a Myrtle Beach firefighters bracket, which tells you something about the spirit of the place. Tournaments are part of the programming calendar as well, and the facility has both the space and the court count to host competitive events that draw players from across the region.

It is worth noting that pickleball’s appeal is genuinely cross-generational, which makes Pin Point an unusually good fit for multigenerational vacation groups. Grandparents and grandchildren end up on the same court more often than you might expect, and the compressed playing surface means that the sport’s learning curve is forgiving enough that a complete beginner can have a genuinely good time within the first twenty minutes of picking up a paddle.

Seven Trackman Bays and a Teaching Pro

The Grand Strand has built its reputation on outdoor golf — more than 100 courses within a reasonable drive, sun-drenched fairways, and the kind of sweeping coastal layouts that end up on magazine covers. Pin Point is not competing with that experience. It is complementing it, and for serious players, the technology inside those seven simulator bays is genuinely impressive.

Each bay is equipped with a Trackman iO overhead launch monitor — the same system used by PGA Tour players and college programs to analyze ball flight, club data, and shot dispersion. The Trackman library offers more than 500 courses to choose from, a virtual driving range, and a test center with full diagnostics. Every bay accommodates at least six golfers, which makes them well-suited for a group outing where not everyone wants to be on their feet at the same time. Bay rental runs $40 per hour for non-members, and access to Pin Point’s short game area with putting green is included.

Six of the seven bays sit on the first floor, arranged along the right side of the building alongside a chipping and putting green and tables for eating and drinking. The seventh bay is upstairs, designated as a VIP bay with a more private, elevated setting that works well for groups who want their own dedicated space. On-site director of golf Adam Holmes — who came to Pin Point from North Carolina — is a PGA-certified teaching pro who offers individual lessons and has a workshop on the premises for club fitting, building, repair, and regripping. If you have been meaning to get that driver checked out before a round at Tidewater or Leopard’s Chase nearby, Pin Point is a practical stop.

The Bar, the Restaurant, and the View from Upstairs

A lot of places that combine sports and socializing get the balance wrong. Either the food is an afterthought — sad nachos and warm beer — or the bar crowds out the playing experience. Pin Point has calibrated things reasonably well. The main restaurant and full bar occupy the second floor, where 25-plus televisions keep every major game visible from virtually any seat, and where the sightlines look down over both the pickleball courts and the golf simulator bays simultaneously. You can watch your travel partner take a swing on the Trackman while you work through a flatbread pizza and a cold drink. That combination is not easy to find.

The kitchen runs a menu designed around bar-and-grill comfort without being lazy about it. Handhelds, flatbread pizzas, and salads anchor the core. The appetizer list covers the classics — wings, loaded fries, nachos, mozzarella sticks, sliders — alongside some more interesting options: street corn dip, fried pickles, shrimp skewers, and pretzel bites with cheese curds. It is the kind of food that works whether you are fueling up before two hours on the pickleball court or settling in for a long afternoon of simulator golf with a group of friends. The bar and restaurant are open from 11 AM to 9 PM daily, and Pin Point has table service.

General manager David Thurber brought more than two decades of Grand Strand restaurant experience to the operation — a background that shows in the way the food and service side of Pin Point integrates with the sporting side rather than feeling tacked on. The building runs to 47,000 square feet in total, which gives the whole experience a sense of room and comfort that smaller indoor sports venues rarely manage.

Private Events and Group Outings

For vacation groups staying in one of the oceanfront homes along the North Myrtle Beach coastline, Pin Point offers a compelling answer to the perennial question of what to do with a large group that includes people who don’t all want to sit on the beach at the same time. The facility has private and semi-private event spaces available for rental and provides flexible catering services alongside dedicated event planning staff who can help build a custom experience around your group’s size and interests.

Birthday parties, family reunions, corporate retreats, bachelorette and bachelor outings — Pin Point’s setup handles them all with a natural ease that comes from having enough space to keep different activities running simultaneously. A group of twenty can split between pickleball courts and golf bays, reconvene upstairs for food and drinks, and never feel like they are crowding each other out. Event inquiries can be submitted through the events page at myrtle.pinpointindoor.com.

Memberships, Drop-In Rates, and Booking

For vacationers and visitors, the drop-in structure is the place to start. Pickleball open play is $15 for two hours; court reservations run $50 per hour for non-members. Golf simulator bays are $40 per hour with access to the short game area included. The putting area is complimentary for everyone. Reservations can be made through Pin Point’s online booking portal at myrtle.pinpointindoor.com.

For those who are local or planning a longer stay in the area, Pin Point offers two membership tiers. A weekday membership comes with a $35 initiation fee and $69 per month, covering unlimited weekday pickleball and golf access up to two hours per day and six hours per week. A full membership has a $60 initiation fee and runs $119 per month, extending access to all seven days with up to two hours per day and eight hours per week. Both tiers include a $10 guest rate for visitors joining a member’s session, and members receive 30 percent off non-complimentary golf bay time. There is no cancellation fee for memberships.

All players — members and non-members alike — are required to create a Pin Point account and sign a waiver before their first visit. Non-members need to cancel reservations at least 24 hours in advance to avoid a no-show charge; members have a 3-hour cancellation window.

Planning Your Visit

Pin Point is located at 304 Hwy 90 East, Unit A-1, Little River, SC — a straightforward drive from anywhere along the Windy Hill and Crescent Beach sections of North Myrtle Beach. The facility opens at 7 AM seven days a week for pickleball and golf, with the bar and restaurant coming online at 11 AM. Last call for the courts is 9 PM nightly. Phone: (843) 352-4035. Email: nmb@pinpointindoor.com. Website: myrtle.pinpointindoor.com.

It is worth noting that Pin Point’s position on Highway 90 puts it in one of Horry County’s fastest-growing corridors, just minutes from the northern tip of North Myrtle Beach and the scenic backroads leading into Little River Neck. If you are coming from the Ocean Drive area, the drive runs about ten minutes depending on traffic. If you are based along Cherry Grove Beach, it is even closer. Book in advance when possible, particularly on weekends — the combination of indoor sports, a real bar, and a quality kitchen tends to draw full houses.
