Thistle Golf Club - MacKay Course

A little pricier than other options but worth it. Challenging course, but fair. Excellent condition and attentive staff.

Thistle is everything everyone here has said it would be. From the bag drop to the 18th hole the place is top shelf. We took advantage of a free replay and played 36. Greens are fast, roll true and in great shape .A true test of golf.Wide Fairways were all in good condition. Will definitely be back.

I played Thistle as part of a tournament course rotation. I was very pleasantly surprised how good the course was in terms of conditions. No complaints at all. Parts of the round were somewhat awful due to rain, but the rest of the day was fine. Staff is very friendly and helpful except for the cart guy who threw away my tournament score card and almost got my partner and I disqualified.

Gorgeous course that you must play if you're in the area. Layout was challenging, greens were absolutely perfect. Water and sand on the majority of holes makes this a shot makers course. Placement in the fairway and on the green is critical. Greens were the best I've played in the area and our group will definitely visit this course again.

If your plaing golf in myrtle beach area and you want to play one of the best play the thistle . Its a first class course always in great shape fantastic layout great greens. Could play this course every day. Will play many more times. can be a little pricey so might want look for a deal but you will have a great day if you go to the thistle i love it

Far and away the best course I've played in the South East. Outstanding conditions and an amazing course. From the bag drop team to the grounds crew, the staff is phenomenal. An amazing experience - I will be back to play again!

Having the honor of playing Pebble Beach, Cypress Point, Robert Trent Jones etc. I found Thistle to be one of the top five courses I've had the privilegecd to play. From the moment we arrived to the time we left the staff and grounds crew made us feel welcomed and appreciated. Can't wait to return!

Always in great condition. Best greens in the area. Tee times are spaced so time of play was excellent. 5 tee boxes so you can pick how much challenge you want.

Excellent course, friendly staff, great clubhouse overall 5 star rating

Greens are fast and true. Fairways and tees are in great shape and well maintained and kept clean. The pub has good food at fair prices.

The greens by far the best I have ever played. They roll very true with great speed. Lots of bunkers and water trouble but fair. Requires strategic play depending on pin placement and wind. This is TOTAL AND PURE ENJOYMENT GOLF.
The clubhouse is extraordinaire with beautiful amenities. Great driving range and putting green.
Staff is very friendly and Head Golf Professional Chad Wiebelhaus epitomizes what a true PGA Pro really is and does for a top rate golf facility.

Thistle is one of the best facilities for golf that I have ever played. The course is challenging, the condition of the course is excellent and the clubhouse is spectacular. The staff are very friendly. Even though Thistle is a public golf course, you are treated as if it were a private course. If you travel to play golf in the Myrtle Beach area, be sure to include Thistle as one of your courses. You will thoroughly enjoy the experience!

Friendly helpful staff. Course conditions were excellent a very well maintained course. Greens were quick and rolled true. Fun challenging beautiful course.
Classic clubhouse and pub.

Staff and courses conditions are excellent. Staff very friendly and helpfull. Course greens are the best in the area, smooth and challenging. I highly recommend this course at all levels of play.

Thistle offers several challenges for the average golfer. Love the layout of the course. The clubhouse is spectacular and the staff is really friendly and courteous. Excellent drainage and will not be CPO when others around are.

By far the finest course in the Myrtle Beach area

The course layout is just a beauty. Love the Scottish design clubhouse. But don't let the beauty of the course deceive you. Greens are fast and pin placement is difficult.

Excellant conditions, nice fairways, water obstacles are present on many holes! The greens were nice and fast for this time of year.

Great course-unfortunately all local courses were water logged-fairways soggy but greens were still fair and in good condition

Best condition of all courses I played. Normal green fees are a bit high but I was able to find discounted green fee.
