Thistle Golf Club - MacKay Course

Had an amazing time playing all 27 holes. Everyone involved made sure we had an amazing experience from the clubhouse staff, restaurant staff, starter, on course vendor, to the guy cleaning your clubs at the cart return. Really friendly atmosphere.

The course was in great shape. The fairways were green and the greens were soft and fast. All 27 holes provided their own unique challenge, but the wasn’t a single hole on the course that didn’t have a great view.

Great course located near the North and South Carolina’s boarder on the coast. I would absolutely recommend this course, whether you’re playing 9, 18, or all 27 you are in for a treat!

While staying in North Myrtle for the weekend we made the short trip to Thistle Golf Club. We played all 3 9's and each were in great shape.

The staff was very accommodating, and made our time there stress free. After 18 we stopped in for lunch and the food was great too. I'll definitely be back.

I highly recommend this be your go-to course if you're staying around Myrtle Beach.

The opportunity to play Thistle Golf Club again was worth the risk of not being satisfied, as was the case 14 months ago when I first played there. Bravo for the changes implemented, if any. or perhaps just a change in attitude. Maybe there was a realization that all customers are to be cherished. Today's round in the slight rain shower coming down was an awesome time at Thistle. The friendliness of the bag drop staff and ranger was far superior to the condescending attitudes of the first visit. The pro shop was attentive and polite. The course was in great shape. The sun even briefly came out upon my arrival at the course. What an absolutely beautiful course with such an interesting assortment of holes! I'll play again and bring my friends when they visit. Thank you for listening. I'll give you credit for today's experience.

Will definitely be back ; best course in the area hands-down. Pricey but worth the money particularly if you can snare a hot deal.

This course was absolutely perfect! Paid a lot more elsewhere for this kind of quality, would recommend this to any golfers out there! Perfect conditions and the kind of green quality you would dream of.

Played Stewart on Saturday. Course was packed but with 10 minute tee times the pace of play was good. Greens were perfect and extremely fast. Loved the course and will be back. Probably the best value on the strand.

This was our last of 3 on a trip to Myrtle. We had a 1.5, 4.2, 20 and 24 in our group. This was the course that we all enjoyed the most.

It was playable off the tee for everyone and water carries were manageable for the higher handicap players. For lower handicap players it still required a good shot to the proper section of the green to get a good look at birdie. Slopes that ran near holes could leave you some slick down hill putts.

Also, the club sandwich is a triple bread sandwich!! That was a nice touch to the traditional club.

The bag crew greeted me with a smile. The course is maintained as well as ANY course along the Carolina coast and is very challenging.

The GM, grounds crew and everyone who works at this course should be proud of the experience they provide.

The course was in excellent shape and the greens were top notch. Expensive compared to some courses in the area, but worth it. Difficult track but if you’re up for the challenge, it’s pretty amazing.

Greens were in great condition.

Fairways were very wide and forgiving.

Some blind shots, but mostly able to anticipate the next shot.

Not the cheapest deal around, but you’ll have to look hard to find one better. Played in 3.25 hours. Wish we had to wait more. Didn’t want to leave.
