Paradise Adventure Golf began in 1989 when Richard Marks of Myrtle Beach, alongside his wife Pat and son Tim, transitioned their construction business into the world of miniature golf design and construction. What started as a creative venture quickly became a passion for building immersive experiences that families could enjoy together.

In 1991, Richard built his first privately owned course, Hawaiian Rumble, and after years of designing courses nationwide, the family returned to ownership in 2001 with Mutiny Bay, followed by Cancun Lagoon in 2003 and Molten Mountain in 2006. Each course reflects the Marks family’s love for creativity, storytelling, and memorable play.

The family’s passion for entertainment continued to grow with the opening of Fun Warehouse in 2010, expanding their focus beyond mini golf to full-scale family fun. Today, Paradise Adventure Golf remains family-owned and operated, fueled by generations of creativity and a commitment to making every visit unforgettable.
