First Time Playing

The greens were the best we played on in our three days of playing golf on the Strand over the 4th holiday weekend.

Everyone assoicated with the Thistle treated us like we were members. Starting with the guard at the main entrance to Mike from Queens, NY at the bag drop to the staff behind the counter. All provided excellent service that was second to none!. The greens were the best we played on. and even with the rain earlier in the week the fairways were still in great shape. Make sure you take your camera, the finishing holes on the Stewart and MacKay make for great memories.

Best course for the $ near Myrtle

Generous fairways, well maintained greens and bunkers, a free bag of range balls with your paid green fees, excellent and knowledgeable staff all lead to a great golf experience. Highly recommended.

good value fantastic clubhouse excellent course

I guess the only beef with my experience was the lack of gps on the golf carts and the course itself lacked yardage markers I think a course of that caliber its a given otherwise great course and clubhouse friendly service

Early Season

GREAT layout. Poor conditions due to rain 2 days before. Weather was REALLY cold! Made it tougher and turned a 4 hr round into a 5 hr round due to cold and wind.

Over Rated & Over Priced

I played a day after some on / off again rain. The course was basically unplayable. Wet & soggy with a LOT of standing water. Obviously expected it to be a bit wet but OMG... and was a warning or discount offered for the conditions??... NO. Besides all that, really nothing special. Just an average layout that has been tricked up here & there... Save your time and save your money as there are nicer courses and better values to be had elsewhere in the North Myrtle area.

Awesome course (s)

I had the opportunity to play all three of the 9 hole courses and couldn't be happier. Great condition, even though it was 'off' season. I will definitely play here when I come back to the area.
