Hot Day with a Hot Putter
Course great, course was doing some limited maintenance, very hot day so appreciated rapid pace of play, squeezed it in under 4 hours, putting green was being renovated but range open with complimentary balls.
Exceptional
Third year playing and each time was better than the previous. Great staff, dang good grill (porkroll sandwhich mmmmm) and drink menu. The course was outstanding. Great challenge from the first tee. Seriously my favorite course I have played. Thanks yall!
Nice greens
I’ve played this course seven or eight times and the greens are always very good. Wonderful layout with a spectacular clubhouse and restaurant. The carts are second to none and very high-tech with GPS and comfortable seats. Unfortunately, we had a slow group in front of us with no one in front of them yet the Ranger did not suggest to let us play through as a twosome or have them pick up their pace of play. I will be back. I always look forward to playing this course.
Great Golf Course
This golf course is in great shape. The ball sets up nicely in the fairway, and the greens are very fast. A couple of fairways had some brown spots, but I just moved them out of the areas that needed repair in the fairway. Watch for alligators!
I would definitely play it again.
Links
This is my Favorite course down here. Great layout and Beautiful greens. I'll be back
Great design, well maintained, and friendly staff
Second time playing at Thistle Golf Club, the first two years ago. One of the best courses I’ve had the opportunity to play, excellent design/layout and all employees (bag drop to cart transfer, pro shop, and the Pot Bunker Pub/the 28th hole) were very hospitable (professional & friendly)! Definitely recommend!
Amazing Course!!
Found this course thru Golf Now - HOT DEAL! Absolutely loved the course, staff, challenge, and pace of play! Highly recommend and will definitely return.
Bunker City
Sharpen up on your bunker skills because there are well placed bunkers everywhere. Beautifully manicured golf course with friendly staff. Shooting 77 at 62 years of age was challenging from the blues but satisfying. Go Play!
Round at Thistle
The staff was fantastic and friendly. The condition was excellent and green speed was quick but very playable
Beautiful course, great conditions
Exceeded expectations. Some of the nicest staff I’ve dealt with at a public course. Course was in great condition and challenging enough. Will definitely be coming back next time I’m in the region.
Fantastic course & staff
Great conditions! Challenging course. Staff was great!!! Definitely highly recommend and will come back!
Short but challenging
A par 70 course that requires thought and accuracy. The greens roll fast and true, while the green side traps are well maintained. A large gator made its appearance adding to the days delight.
Enjoyed my 1st time at Thistle!
Had a great day ,was placed with another single that plays there alot,which helped knowing where the trouble was,played really well could have putted better and would have liked a couple drives back but shot a 77 overall .pace of play was awesome and course was in Great shape!
