Thistle Golf Club - Cameron Course

Great course. Awesome clubhouse, excellent practice facilities, very friendly staff, and an excellent links style course. I would have rated 5 stars overall, but they had an issue with the greens on the 2nd 9 I played. Didn't drastically affect my scoring.

Played here for $57.80, great price and a beautiful course compared to Lockwood Folly. Lockwood Folly was $75 & in bad shape. Would love to play The Thistle again

Place was great even with greens being less than there standards. Wildlife was everywhere

Always love to play the Thistle. They were having some problems with the greens but some of the greens are coming back and were not that bad.

Five stars deserving but must be frustrating to them that their greens have bald spots and are very bumpy due to bad chemicals supplied which killed much of the grass. Supposed to be all well by end of May.

Couldn't have been better. Price, pace of play, layout, course condition, (even with airation of greens), and staff. Weather was terrific too. Excellent for women and juniors too Can't wait to play again

Tee boxes and fairways were in great shape. I got a deal because we were alerted that the course had just aerated but the greens were in terrible shape because the company that supplies their chemicals screwed up and trashed the greens.

We had been told by friends that this was a course to play if we came to Myrtle Beach. We got a reasonable rate through Golf Now and were ecstatic. Only upon our arrival were we informed that the greens had been aerated because of an application malfunction and did we want to play that day? Given the time of day and the options to play elsewhere were nil, we accepted to play. I have played on aerated greens before but these greens may have been aerated but only after they had lost much of their grass! We loved the course which was immaculate and learned to play through the "aeration" but it was disappointing to see the course play affected by this.

It would have been nice if A) Golf Now could have stressed this more clearly at time of booking , B) the course could have given us a break on the price, complimentary lunch , drinks, pro shop, etc or C) both.

The staff, equipment and facilities were all great and I hope the greens issue is resolved soon as there seem to be a lot less rounds being played as a result ($$)

Great course, staff very friendly. The course was in great shape except for the greens. Just aeriated.

The title refers to the conditions of the greens. They applied a chemical to the greens, and a week or so later, the company informed the maintenance staff that the instructions they were given were incorrect. they are doing everything possible to correct the problem until the grass grows back. The move the pin placements to areas where the grass is in good shape and other quick fixes, to make your round of golf more enjoyable. The staff is bending over backwards to inform everyone before the round of the conditions. The rest of the course is in great shape and the staff is fantastic. I found only one greens that was in horrible shape, most have stripes of bare spots that are about a foot wide.

This is my favorite MB course! Brought some friends for the first time and they can't wait to come back!

A truly great course! The best tees and fairways I've ever played in Myrtle Beach and I've been coming here since 1998!

What a shame that the greens were so poor! This is not Thistle fault and to say it's due to aeriation is not really the case. As far as I know the greens were treated to kill the Poe Anna grass but the wrong ratio was used on the manufactures recommendation. This has lead to their present state,which is poor. I'm sure after Mother Nature has come to the rescue things will be back to normal and the greens will be like carpets!

In all a great course from tee to green.

We arrived at bag drop and the attendants there acted normally and were professional as always but when checking in to pay - things changed. Guy at register asked if we knew of the problems with the greens, which we were not aware of, and he painted a huge misrepresentation of the quality of the greens. With no place else to play on shirt notice on a beautiful day we had no choice but to stay. The greens were beyond horrible and the positive review below is an outright disgrace. The greens were not playable at all, bare in many spots and bumpy everywhere. And why would you not close 9 of the 27 holes on a rotation to limit play and help the greens heal quicker. We were told that because we reserved online there was no way to call us to let us know about the greens but I suggest they could have emailed me with the confirmation email or the website should have had a warning about the greens condition. no effort is being made to inform potential players ahead of time of the greens condition. I would expect these greens to be bad for at least 6 months. They allege they are just one of 20 courses who were impacted by this problem and they blame the chemical company. good luck if you try this place in the near future.

This is definitely a must-play course. A country club feel from the clubhouse to the staff. The course is tough in the wind, so it's important to play the correct tees. Have fun!

Greens were in very poor conditions. Golfnow should be swsre of this dituation and let us know.

Nice track but something has happened to the greens that has killed the grass and they now appear to be painted. They roll ok, but look terrible. Our group of 14 were very disappointed that we were not told ahead of time about the conditions. For a course that prides itself on their website about the great greens, it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. We will not be playing here again in our future annual trip to MB.

When we showed up, the pro shop staff asked "Have you heard about our greens?" and then explained to us that the greens might be a "little bumpy". No...they were DEAD and SPRAYPAINTED GREEN. This information should have been shared on the website. Learning of it that morning when we'd already traveled a half hour leaves no option other than to play (and at the FULL RATE).

By the 4th hole, we were stuck behind two very slow foursomes of poor golfers who did not have the courtesy to let us through, despite a gaping hole opening up ahead of them. (Because they had come together, they weren't going to allow a faster group - even a twosome of better players). Not a single ranger on the course the entire time.

We came to Thistle to complete a golf trip with a memorable final venue. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT.

I found Thistle by accident and booked a time that day. They accommodated me as a single and the staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. The course was in great condition and extremely playable. I played the Stewart and then the McKay. A great morning round. I would definitely recommend the course and look forward to returning
