Thistle Golf Club - Cameron Course

Great course. Difficult approaches but very playable off tee. A course where you can actually hit your driver. For the price excellent value. Have played over 15 courses in mb area. One of best so far

Great course, should be a part of your golf trip! Course is in great shape and staff is very friendly. Course is challenging, but fair! Multiple sets of tees make course enjoyable for all skill levels!

All around a great experience. Friendly staff. Very nice practice facility with complimentary range balls. Went over to our cart about 15min before tee time and they asked if we'd like to go off right away. Course was in the best shape of any we've played this week. Greens were fast and true. Fairways and tee boxes well manicured. Bunkers in great condition. Course has generous fairways but a good amount of water and hazards in which to lose some balls. Interesting layout and very playable for the higher handicappers. Played a lot of courses in the area but this would be among the best.

My playing partner and I arrived about 45 minutes early for our 1257 tee time and were dismayed to see the parking lot overflowing with cars and the bag drop 3 bags deep. We just knew we were going to be looking at a 6-hour round. Surprisingly, we teed off on the Stewart course and were pleasantly surprised to see only one group on the green. Pace of play was great considering the cluster we saw upon arrival. The Stewart course was in great condition with green grass in the fairways and smooth rolling greens. This course is a challenge from the tips, but not exceedingly difficult. Water hazards were present on almost every hole, so be accurate with your shots. We made the turn and were very happy with this 9 holes. We then began the Mackay course. Again, no hole descriptions. The fairways were as expected and the layout was challenging as well. HOWEVER, the greens on this 9 holes were of a different grass then that of the Stewart course. The speed was nowhere near the same and the greens did not roll as true. It appeared that the greens had been sprayed green and were a little sandy. Most likely they had been rolled instead of being cut. It took us almost half of the holes to finally adjust to the difference of the greens. If at all possible, play Stewart and Cameron courses as the greens are consistent. Would still recommend as a great place to play. Will return many more times.

The day started with an exceptional Rueben sandwich for $7.95, a great special and from then on, there were no complaints. If you shop carefully, there are some large discounts to be had for the green fees. The greens were like lightning, but puttable if you adapt carefully. The course was in better shape than most that we played. Due to the poor January and February, it was a little wetter than you might like, but that is the case at almost every Myrtle area course this year. This course will remain on my yearly wish list without a doubt!

Excellent round. Played all 27 holes. Very challenging. Lots of water and bunkers. Nice greens. Pleasing to look at.

Every year we come back and play here and we are never dissatisfied. Wonderful layout, great staff and decent price.

Played McKay/Cameron nines with a couple of locals who have played course before, and there were still times that we had a hard time figuring out the direction of holes. Hole layout on the tee yardage markers, or at least a general course layout on the scorecard would be a big help. Time spent figuring out which way to go led to a 4&1/2 hour round, and we were the first group out in the morning.
The layout is good, which I expected from a Tim Cate design. The fairways are fairly wide, water is plentiful but not overly in your face, though there are some forced carries.
Flag colors are green, white, purple instead of the usual red, white, blue. Many times it was hard to see the flags as they blended into the background of pine trees. Other times it was hard to differentiate between the dark green and the purple flags.
Overall I would play the course again, probably in season when the grass is growing and not dormant.

This is a beauty. Everything is perfectly maintained. Challenging course.

I have always enjoyed playing Thistle. The staff is friendly, the course is a good test, and pace of play is good.

Looking forward to the remaining greens being converted to Bermuda grass. That will help with pitch marks and improve the experience on the greens.

I played a lot of courses in Scotland and i never felt like i was in Scotland. Nice course anyway.

The Thistle Golf Course was in premium condition. All of the staff was polite, friendly, and courteous. Anyone would love to golf this course.

Thistle is a course I've been wanting to play for a long time, but due to pricing I haven't been able to afford. With golfnow hot deal of $39/player, this was the time to play.
The starter was very friendly and provided some helpful hints. We played the Cameron to Stewart combination but didn't have tme to play the McKay 9.
This course is pretty generous in fairway widths on most holes, but the greens were difficult to read. They were slick, but sometimes didn't break as I thought they would.
Playing off the blue tees as recommended by their tee/hdcp ratings, I had my hands full with the course. Be sure to take an extra club on Stewart #9 as it's a long par 3 to an elevated green over water!
You definitely need GPS device or yardage book to play this course. My golf logics app came in handy!
Very scenic course with lots of wildlife. It's easy to get distracted from the course.
I most definitely will go back and play.
Beautiful club house with artifacts from the original Thistle Golf Club in Scotland. Be sure to check them out after your round!

It is an easy course for women if played from red tees. À few challenging holes if played from white tees. We played the McKay/Cameron courses. Good value if booked on line through Golf Now, much better than walk in green fees.

Fairways and greens nearly perfect. Friendly staff.
Very clean.

Don't play here overpriced with a slow pace of play they overbooked the day I played all 3 9s packed to the gills...much better golf course in the area for pace and price 4th time I have played it. In last 8 years I will not come back and recommend any of the other courses in the area for pace and value . Final point have played a lot in Scotland and this is a American course with bag pipes nothing at all like Scotland...

Course was in great condition although the bent grass greens are starting to show poana on many greens. the McKay nine was just changed to tifdwarf but was still closed. A great course anyway.

Very playable and smart but challenging layout. You find a course in better condition. I could play this course everyday.

Nice layout, very good condition in general. Lots of unrepaired ball marks on greens. Pace of play was better than most (teed off at 8:00).
Staff was friendly, and food was pretty good.
Would play it again anytime.

What a beautiful layout. Each hole had it's own challenges with many near water. Well bunkered with receptive greens, making for malleable birdie putts. Clubhouse is a stone brick mix wi a friendly atmosphere. Will decently return.
