Great course but parking is limited
Thistle is the nicest course I have played in the area. Very friendly staff and the fairways and greens were excellent. The pace of play was a little slow but only because we were behind a couple of slow foursomes. Biggest complaint was the parking area. I spent 10 minutes searching /waiting for a parking space.
Another great round
Can’t do much better for an $79 round. Will be back again for sure

We played 18 but the second nine with Stewart and we weren’t crazy about that one the first nine is perfect
We played 18. Very nice course. Enjoyed it a lot store it was a little bit too difficult for us but the front nine was wonderful

One of Myrtle Beach Area's Best Courses
Really enjoyed my round at Thistle. Course was in excellent condition and pace of play was very good. Some very challenging holes paired with some easier ones. Highly recommend Thistle to anyone in the area -- local or visitor.

Excellent Golf Course!
This is one of the best golf courses in the area. The greens are fast and true. The different tees make the course challenging but fair for all skill levels. The course is in excellent condition. The staff are friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this golf course.

Always love playing @ Thistle… the winter overseed is excellent, new stacked sod bunkering looks tremendous and the greens tools smooth.

Course was pretty much wide open without too much character. Didn’t seem like difficulty matched course slope/rating. Overall, a ho hum round for $70!

Excellent conditions
Parce of play was slow, and threesomes were inserted wich made it even slower for them.
Teetime at 1:30, almost dark when finished. This added pressure on the back 9. But overall à good afternoon.
Hello, u094547273. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
Great Day at Thistle Golf Club
First time playing Thistle in a few months. Had 12 guys from our neighborhood playing. Did have a 30 minutes frost delay, but not unexpected. Given the cold weather over the past few days, was very surprised & pleased with the condition of the course and pace of play. Had the first 3 tee times and finished the front nine in under 2 hours. Little slower as we caught up to the last group that went off the other nine (Thistle has 3 nines). Still finished in 4 hours. Staff as always, was very helpful and professional. Always a pleasure playing a great course with a terrific staff & in great condition. Thanks for a great day.
Thank you for your review, RG1B9D30CC97713DAB2B. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Thistle Golf Club - Cameron Course. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
