Thistle -- A Must Play Course
Live in Murrells Inlet and play most of the courses from Wilmington to Charleston. Thistle is in the Top 5 for sure. Great layout, staff is friendly & halpful and the course is almost always in excellent condition. If you're visiting the Grand Strand, be sure to play Thistle, You won't be disappointed.

Incredible Thistle Golf Course
5 stars is not enough to give this course or its staff!! I played here probably 5 times now and living in Wilmington. It is well worth the drive! Can’t wait until the next time we tee it up !!

100% first class from staff to course layout to course condition. Would absolutely recommend this course and will definitely play it again next time I’m in MB.

Very enjoyable, can't wait to return
It was a wet but pleasant late September day. Since the forecast was bad and it rained a bit, we had the course to ourselves. The course has 3 nines. We played 18 and really enjoyed ourselves in spite of the rain. The course is very well maintained and has a great layout. The clubhouse is gorgeous and the staff was terrific. I can’t wait to return.

Great to be Back!
I loved this course when I played it 7 years ago, and. Couldn't wait to play it again. Fairways, lush...greens, fast and the course, overall is outstanding! Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area. Great, challenging track, but fair. A must play!

Slow play 5 hour Death march
Typical Myrtle Beach operation!! Take your money 1119.00 and pack the course to the MAX. What difference does it make how good the course is when you have to wait 10 minutes to hit a shot!! Horrible experience!! Not worth the money.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!

Best course around
Thistle is the best golf course in the North Myrtle Beach area. I play it regularly Because of it’s good condition, great cart paths and challenging holes..
Hi, gregmoore03. Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Thistle Golf Club - Cameron Course.
Nice place
I played here last week during the World Amateur and found the course conditions to be excellent, kudos to the Superintendent and his crew for a job well done. The clubhouse is great, beverage cart service is good as well. The pace of play was disgusting to say the least, 5:40 for 18 holes! And the rangers, absolutely useless! All they did was drive around, write down the cart number you were riding in and just just start talking to you while the groups were piled upon on the tees waiting to hit. Why the heck are they even out there, must be for the free golf. Utterly useless!
Typical computer generated response, nice touch as I see no human read my comment. By the way, I played the Stewart and Mackay courses, NOT the cameron course!
