Wonderful morning for golf
I loved the course. I would recommend it but better if you played with someone that has played it . I played with someone that plays it often and they were able to help me immensely. Course was in great shape.
Awesome
Great course great layout perfect condition fast greens
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, u314161593553! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Thistle Golf Club - Cameron Course.
Exceeds expectations
Thistle was by far the best golf course we played while in myrtle beach. Greens rolled well, bunkers were well groomed and tee decks were flat. They have alot of yardage options as well. Would recommend 100%.
Thanks so much for the great review, harrisonww. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Thistle Golf Club - Cameron Course.
kc okeefe boys
Thistle is a great course for handicaps that are low. Lots of forced carries. Cart attendants and pro shop were very helpful and worked hard to make everyone happy.
It is a very good course but you better bring your A game.
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.
Great track
Great place to play while on vacation. Make it a buddy trip to do activity. Very welcoming luxury feel and well groomed golf course. I played with some members that helped stay out of trouble and shot a low score.
greengolf69, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Thistle Golf Club - Cameron Course.
Feels like a private course.
Starting with the clubhouse to the course this golf club has a private course feel to it. Great service awesome course conditions and playable layout. This is a definite recommendation to players of mid to low handicap. Enjoy!!
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.
Cadillac
Thistle is the Cadillac in my opinion. Little pricey but if you’re looking for a great experience, great greens, and great atmosphere this is the place! Treat you like royalty. Bravo
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, johnboy102500! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Thistle Golf Club - Cameron Course.
My Favorite Myrtle Beach Course
As Usual The Course Was In Good Condition For This Time Of Year. I’ve Seen It Better But It Was Still In Good Shape. The Greens Were Super Fast And True. It’s Always An Enjoyable Round, If You Haven’t Played It You Should Tri It. They Have 27 Holes and Great Prctice Areas.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, TroyJames. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Thistle Golf Club - Cameron Course thanks you!
Cold and windy round in late March
High 40's
Wind gusts to 25 or 30 easily a 2 club wind
Front 9 played 2 over in 1.5 hours, thought about buying a house on the course
Caught the golf groups on 10, played the back in 5 over in 2.5 hours, canceled the search for a realtor
Good conditions. Fair layout when the wind isn't up.
Thank you for sharing your experience and the impact of the wind on your game. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the course's conditions and layout, and appreciate your feedback!
March weather in Myrtle Beach
Wind was blowing a gale. White caps on the ponds. Golf while wearing all the clothes in my suitcase…actually broke 80 with a 7 and a lost ball. Looking for a house on the course..
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.
