Amazing Course

I was recommended this course by my PGA Pro instructor and found a great GolfNow deal, so we thought we would try it. We were blown away by the facilities, the friendliness of the staff, the immaculate course conditions. The carts have the cushy seats with the GPS to the flag. It was phenomenal. The condition of the course was the best I've seen in the area. I couldn't recommend the course more.

Stunning and so much fun

Our top course of the week! We played Stewart to McKay. Stewart is for us a great 9, with some beautiful golf shots to do. We loved hole #4. Conditions were simply perfect. It was worth every penny for sure! I would definitly be back to this golf course.

Great course conditions on a beautiful day

Course was in great shape for an early season round. My group consisted of some high handicappers and while there was a A LOT of sand to contend with, it was a very enjoyable round and no one had a bad day.

Nice course, a must play

This was my second time playing the course. All the staff from the cart guys to the pros and the wait staff are all very courteous and extremely nice. The course is all overseeded and very well manacured. The only negative thing I can say is I wish the greens were faster. They are in great shape and smooth but slow. I would definitely put this course on your play list.

Hidden Gem!

Nice course… Nice staff. Seemed to be friendly to all folks that golf. I had a great experience. Rangers were visible and the cart girl was available at least 4 times during the round. …awesome! Clubhouse is also nice. Course is shorter even from the blue tee but challenging. Clubhouse is quick with your order also. Range ball come with the round. I would say if you don’t want to pay th Grand Dunes, TPC and Barefoot prices but want the same type of quality course. This will do!

Perfect day at my favorite course! So beautiful & well maintained. Greens are so pretty & carpetlike.

A few challenging holes keep you on your toes & wanting to try them again. The restaurant also has many tasty items in a nice setting.

Spectacular

Just an awesome day. Picture perfect. Staff was helpful and kind. If there was any problem it was the difficulty of the greens. They were fast and the pin placements were extremely difficult. We own a house in Sunset Beach and never miss a round. Best golf course in the area by far

Great Myrtle Beach Area Course

Thistle is just hands down one of the best layouts I have had the chance to play in the Myrtle Beach area. The course conditions for late winter were as good as any I have seen in the area (only exception was a green or two which had invasive grass issues). Overall hole layouts are interesting and include a good variety. Pace of play was very good. Overall well worth playing and would happily play again.
