Crowning the “People’s Choice Award”: the Best Dishes at the 19th Hole in 2024

One of the standout highlights of the 19th Hole is undoubtedly the food. Each evening, participants are treated to a delightful array of culinary creations from local restaurants. The diverse flavors and creative dishes not only satisfy the appetites of the golfers but also foster a sense of community, as friends and competitors gather to share their favorite meals and experiences from the day.

As the sun set on another exciting week of the Myrtle Beach World Amateur, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the participating restaurants that made the 2024 19th Hole a culinary success.

A special congratulations goes out to Big Mike’s Soul Food, the recipient of the coveted “People’s Choice” award for 2024! Your incredible dishes resonated with our guests and left a lasting impression on everyone who tasted them.

We also want to recognize Angelo’s Steak and Pasta and Friendly’s for their outstanding contributions, receiving Honorable Mention awards for their delicious offerings.

Thank you to all of those participants that completed the surveys, your feedback is valuable and used each year to make the World Am better.
