Our favorite course in the area
The Thistle is our favorite course in the area. We play there most of the time and always find it in great shape with very friendly staff and great accommodations. If you haven’t played the Thistle, do yourself a favor and give them a try.
Thistle -- A Must Play Course
Live in Murrells Inlet and play most of the courses from Wilmington to Charleston. Thistle is in the Top 5 for sure. Great layout, staff is friendly & halpful and the course is almost always in excellent condition. If you're visiting the Grand Strand, be sure to play Thistle, You won't be disappointed.
Thank you for your review, RG1B9D30CC97713DAB2B. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Thistle Golf Club - Cameron Course. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Incredible Thistle Golf Course
5 stars is not enough to give this course or its staff!! I played here probably 5 times now and living in Wilmington. It is well worth the drive! Can’t wait until the next time we tee it up !!
Hi, PLSNoum80rehYndZoW4S. Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Thistle Golf Club - Cameron Course.
First Class
100% first class from staff to course layout to course condition. Would absolutely recommend this course and will definitely play it again next time I’m in MB.

Very enjoyable, can't wait to return
It was a wet but pleasant late September day. Since the forecast was bad and it rained a bit, we had the course to ourselves. The course has 3 nines. We played 18 and really enjoyed ourselves in spite of the rain. The course is very well maintained and has a great layout. The clubhouse is gorgeous and the staff was terrific. I can’t wait to return.

Great to be Back!
I loved this course when I played it 7 years ago, and. Couldn't wait to play it again. Fairways, lush...greens, fast and the course, overall is outstanding! Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area. Great, challenging track, but fair. A must play!
Thanks so much for the great review, mark8210365. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Thistle Golf Club - Cameron Course.
Slow play 5 hour Death march
Typical Myrtle Beach operation!! Take your money 1119.00 and pack the course to the MAX. What difference does it make how good the course is when you have to wait 10 minutes to hit a shot!! Horrible experience!! Not worth the money.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!

Best course around
Thistle is the best golf course in the North Myrtle Beach area. I play it regularly Because of it’s good condition, great cart paths and challenging holes..
Hi, gregmoore03. Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Thistle Golf Club - Cameron Course.
Nice place
I played here last week during the World Amateur and found the course conditions to be excellent, kudos to the Superintendent and his crew for a job well done. The clubhouse is great, beverage cart service is good as well. The pace of play was disgusting to say the least, 5:40 for 18 holes! And the rangers, absolutely useless! All they did was drive around, write down the cart number you were riding in and just just start talking to you while the groups were piled upon on the tees waiting to hit. Why the heck are they even out there, must be for the free golf. Utterly useless!
Typical computer generated response, nice touch as I see no human read my comment. By the way, I played the Stewart and Mackay courses, NOT the cameron course!
Hello, yNWYSm1jWLCDq8mabiA0. Thank you for visiting us at Thistle Golf Club - Cameron Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Ready for an exceptional Golf experience, then look no further than Thistle Golf Club!
If you love Golf, nature and a beautiful Golf course Layout and Clubhouse, then Thistle Golf Club is a must play for you!
With three distinct nine hole tracts to challenge any golfer, offering so much natural beauty and nature to make your day all the more special, you simply can’t go wrong with this selection.
The Superintendent and his team are always on top of the course conditions and you’ll find the staff from the Bag-Drop to the Pro-Shop and the Wait-Staff in the Clubhouse very respectful and accommodating. Whenever planning to be in the area, or if you’re living nearby, make it a point to get out to play Thistle Golf Club. It will not disappoint!
Hi, JGBlumengold. Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Thistle Golf Club - Cameron Course.
Great Day, Great Tournament
I entered a 4some in the Labor Day Scramble,, which had to be the best organized tournament that I have ever played in.
1. First they requested prepayment prior to the tournament, which eliminated the check in problems and delays, in the pro shop..
2. The cart staff had the carts organized and our clubs were placed immediately upon arrival.
3. he fee did not include range balls, but they were conveniently located by the cart check in.
4. The tournament started on schedule, and even though it was a scramble , with mulligans, and A and B groups on some holes, we played in under 4 hours.
5. Lunch was included , buffet style in the beautiful clubhouse and the staff was excellent and courteous. The food was also better than the typical hamburgers, or hot dogs, serving chili and pulled pork sandwiches along with the usual beans, cole slaw etc.
6. It took a little while for the later groups to wander in which delayed the awards, somewhat (we failed to place in the top 3) so I do not know what the top teams rec'd.
7. And it finished with the raffle prizes which included a number of Callaway clubs, from wedges, putters, fairway woods and drivers and a Callaway bag.
Now in regards to the course it was in excellent condition, from tee boxes, to fairways and especially the greens. Thank goodness it was a scramble as the greens had very slight undulations by most pin placements, which made the first putt very difficult if over 6 or 7 feet away. I think our 4some only made 3 of our first putts.
And a final comment the golf carts are probably the nicest carts on the grand strand, and so are the on course bathrooms.
When these reviews ask if you would recommend this course to friends, not only are we doing that we are playing with 2 friends tomorrow, who have never played this course !!! I've even recommended this course to strangers !
