Will Definitely Return!
First time playing here thanks to the excellent reviews. Got a great deal with a Hot Deal + Coupon + Points ($51/ea on a Thursday early afternoon). Played Stewart + Mackay. Stewart was a fun layout with a good amount of forced water carries. Mackay was more remote/wooded (not as fun, more standard fare). Hoping we get to play Cameron next time (island green). Didn't have time to test out the range or practice facilities. No cart restrictions (drive anywhere) even though it was raining the entire day. Course had very good water drainage and excellent playing conditions. Will definitely return next time I'm in town on a golf trip.
Great Golf Course
Thistle by far is one of the great golf courses in the Myrtle Beach area. Conditions were fantastic. Fairways and greens were pristine.

Stellar course
Absolutely love this place. I have now played all 3 9s. This trip was Cameron/Stewart rotation which has to be my favorite.
The tee boxes were a bit long which made any tee shot that wasn't a driver a bit frustrating. The greens were faster than the last time I played but still a little slow. Rolled absolutely true though. Everything else was in pretty top shape.
I wish there was a 27 hole rate or a way to play 9 more without having to pay the full replay rate. I guess I'll probably play 36 next trip :)
Thanks so much for the great review, u314163710425. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Thistle Golf Club - Cameron Course.
Amazing experience for the serious golfer!
Capped off a week of golf with an afternoon round. 95+ heat all week and this course was in tip top shape. Good spacing on groups, no pressure, no congested tee boxes. Great experience- please add some clubs to the pro shop- I desperately needed a replacement wedge and thought surely the thistle will have some- 🤨. Other than that top notch all the way!
Thank you for taking the time to review us, shawnfichter. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Thistle Golf Club - Cameron Course thanks you!
Pricey but good option
Greens are very fast-course well groomed
Could be clearer directions for where to drive cart
Beverage gal needs to come around more- once in 18 is not enuf
Pathetic lack of drinkable water- need cold jugs!!!

Excellent Course
Course and course conditions were superb. My only complaint was the amount of mowing occurring as we played through several holes. Tee time was 9:15 and we saw mowing Almost up until the end. Usually mowing happens early in the am or the the evening not as the course is in full swing. Not good for the price tag on this course. Also, they stack the course so gameplay was very slow. Got paired with another twosome and was not happy about it, again for the price paid. I was taking my father for his birthday and we did not want to spend our day with strangers. So we split after the first hole.
