Always a pleasure
brought some friends who were hesitant due to price and the drive (a little over an hour). Everyone loved the course. Greens are very receptive but still roll pretty quick and true. Still hope for the option to play all three 9 instead of the pricey replay rate. I would probably play here every other weekend if this were the case.
Thanks so much for your wonderful review, BernReno. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Thistle Golf Club - Cameron Course!

Well worth playing
Great layout. Top end clubhouse. Only negative was 3 groups lined up waiting at the first tee. First group was playing their second nine. Front nine was trending to a five hour round. Once the front group finished the second nine was fast. Ended up finishing in just over four hours. The course itself was the nicest of the 6 courses I played. Would definitely play it again.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, Randy8567770. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Thistle Golf Club - Cameron Course thanks you!
lost / losing its luster
moved to coastal Carolina in April, 2022. Played Thistle 2-3 times thru June, was fantastic. much of my course critique revolves around greens conditions and basic layout. Cate did a great job here. he cannot fix what has become the problem, and this is terribly slow greens. the past 3-4 times I have traveled to play there (~45 minute ride), the greens were just terribly slow. Spring, summer , fall - it did not matter. I won't be back for a while, it has clearly lost something and has fallen off my list of 'have to get there when my friends from back home visit' Staff was very friendly, play was awfully slow and they actually told a group ahead to pick up and skip a a hole - it opened up the back 9 and if they had not done so, we would not have finished 18 - it was most appreciated. but shagy and hairy SLOW greens. Won't be back until I hear of changes, it is a shame as Cate has a GEM here.
Hi, michaelganovski. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Thistle Golf Club - Cameron Course.
Beautiful course. Lots of water. Great condition. Well ran starts. Good pace. Luxurious carts. Accommodating for both good and bad golfers which describes my game from one hole to the next. I highly recommend.
