One of the finest and fair tracks I've ever played
Greens are fast and true. Fairways and tees are in great shape and well maintained and kept clean. The pub has good food at fair prices.
Picturesque and challenging
The greens by far the best I have ever played. They roll very true with great speed. Lots of bunkers and water trouble but fair. Requires strategic play depending on pin placement and wind. This is TOTAL AND PURE ENJOYMENT GOLF.
The clubhouse is extraordinaire with beautiful amenities. Great driving range and putting green.
Staff is very friendly and Head Golf Professional Chad Wiebelhaus epitomizes what a true PGA Pro really is and does for a top rate golf facility.
Thistle
Thistle is one of the best facilities for golf that I have ever played. The course is challenging, the condition of the course is excellent and the clubhouse is spectacular. The staff are very friendly. Even though Thistle is a public golf course, you are treated as if it were a private course. If you travel to play golf in the Myrtle Beach area, be sure to include Thistle as one of your courses. You will thoroughly enjoy the experience!
A Must Play
Friendly helpful staff. Course conditions were excellent a very well maintained course. Greens were quick and rolled true. Fun challenging beautiful course.
Classic clubhouse and pub.
Thank you for commenting about the conditions of the greens. We will be more than happy to pass that along to our maintenance staff. We are happy that you enjoyed yourself when you came out and look forward to seeing you in the future.
Sincerely,
Thistle Golf Club
EXCELLENT GREENS AND FARIWAYS
Staff and courses conditions are excellent. Staff very friendly and helpfull. Course greens are the best in the area, smooth and challenging. I highly recommend this course at all levels of play.

Love this course, now my home course
Thistle offers several challenges for the average golfer. Love the layout of the course. The clubhouse is spectacular and the staff is really friendly and courteous. Excellent drainage and will not be CPO when others around are.
what a course
By far the finest course in the Myrtle Beach area
Beautiful But Tough Course
The course layout is just a beauty. Love the Scottish design clubhouse. But don't let the beauty of the course deceive you. Greens are fast and pin placement is difficult.
Beautiful
Excellant conditions, nice fairways, water obstacles are present on many holes! The greens were nice and fast for this time of year.
Really tough but fun
Great course-unfortunately all local courses were water logged-fairways soggy but greens were still fair and in good condition
Best Condition of all course played near Myrtle Beach
Best condition of all courses I played. Normal green fees are a bit high but I was able to find discounted green fee.
Decent course, but would never pay full price of $100 to play
I was excited to play MacKay and Cameron as instructed when paying, but the starter changed that. Wasn't too happy about missing out on MacKay, because I was instructed that was the 9 holes to play and home of he toughest hole on the course. Cameron was just redone this year, but the putting green were like putting on artificial outdoor carpet. When playing Stewart we had a hard time finding a couple shots, due to the thick grass clumps from cutting the rough to the point it looked burned. All in all it was a subpar course, but for some reason it was rated in the top 5 for the Myrtle Beach area.
Would like to play Thistle when it not so soggy and cart path only
I like Thistle but I would just like to play it one time when the fairways were not soggy and balls were plugging on over half the holes. It is just not a lot of fun to play when the course is almost unplayable from a couple of weeks of tropical type rains.
The greens are nice and roll true. In the summertime, not very fast but still playable. I would imagine except when the course is very wet...it is probably very nice and well conditioned.
If you play Thistle, take some time and appreciate the clubhouse. It is gorgeous and well appointed.
The staff there is very friendly.
Excellent course
In great shape. A little pricey to competitors but enjoyed the track quite a bit... Was a little disappointed that we didn't get out to C 9 but was happy with the M an S 9s.
Wonderful experience
I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to all at the Thistle Golf Club for having us today. The weather looked gloomy at the start but turned out to be a dry day and the course was in great shape. Your entire staff from the bag drop to the counter staff were wonderful and very helpful, which made for a great day.
very nice course and staff
would play this course again! Staff was excellent.
beautiful shape.
Stewart/MacKay Review
The facilities and course were in A1 shape and all the staff were very courteous. Only negative was the Cameron nine and putting green were closed.
awesome course
thistle lived up to everything I heard about it. the course was in excellent condition other than greens being airfield but were rolling fair enough to putt on. I played from white tees and shot 75. bunkers galored with water all over the course and you have to manage your shots well or you will shoot a high score. I played at 4 pm for $29 on golfnow which was a incredible price. I recommend this course to anyone.
Great course, somewhat slow pace, silly prices for snacks and drinks.
The course was immaculate, the greens were perfect and the price on GolfNow was a real bargain. It took over five hours to play and a Gatorade was $3.50. So, if you want great golf conditions, like a leisurely pace and don't get thirsty, this is your place.
Very Good
This courses are much challenging. If you don't like water hazard, you should't play the courses.
Thank you for the time to review our course and staff! We look forward to your next visit with us!
