One of the best experiences we’ve had. From the staff to the course conditions, it was nearly perfect. The only downer was the weather. Will definitely return

Wow! Awesome golf course

I haven’t played here in 10+ years and I liked it then. But wow this place is a real gem today. Conditions were fantastic. Layout was awesome. Played 18 holes in four hours. Got a good deal on GolfNow so everything was really wonderful today.

I bet this place will look fantastic in another month once the grass really starts to grow. It looks great now, once it greens up everywhere it’ll be really special.

One of the Best Courses in the MB Area

Fantastic golf course with a fun, challenging layout. It’s the first week of March and this course is in better shape than anything in my home area during peak season. Every single employee we interacted with had a pleasant demeanor, especially the guys at the bag drop. Super friendly and helpful.

Pacing was off for us us because we were stuck behind 3 foursomes and we’re just a twosome. Made the round take 5 hours, but it was nice just taking in the scenery while waiting: 2 gators and lots of water fowl made for some nice pictures.

Play this course if you can, especially if you can get a discount on GolfNow. Worth every penny and look forward to playing it again next trip.

Fantastic Conditions

I am a golf course greenskeeper from New York. I played Thistle this past week and it was GREAT! The conditions for this time of year couldn't be better! Fairways and greens in excellent condition . Tee boxes as well. The rough is dormant so anywhere you hit it is playable. Nice layout not overly difficult not a lot of "hidden hazards" very enjoyable place to play. Staff very nice and restaurant as well.

Clueless at the Bag Drop 🤡

Booked a tee time for two on the GolfNow app on Saturday and showed up the following day for a 1:26 PM tee time. The 4 or 5 individuals running thr bag drop and cart loading (volunteers/staff?)we frazzled. They were constantly stating to each other, "Wow, we sent out 80 carts this morning!". After asking what the next steps were for me to check-in they said I needed to go inside. After speaking with the attendant behind the counter, he gave me two slips of paper. Returning to the bag drop, I continued to be ignored. (the local members appear to get first priority) After asking yet again what is the "process" they had me a bag of range balls and tell me they will call me when they are ready. As out tee time gets closer and closer, we return to the bag drop, and continue to be ignored. Finally at 1:27 (one minute after our scheduled tee time) I have to flag down someone wearing a Thistle shirt and say what do I have to do to get on the course. I mention that my tee time was 1 minute ago. Suddenly they realize that my group is not on the hand-printed sheet in front of them, They ask, "Did you book online?". "Yes". "Oh, that's the reason. It's the guys fault inside". They hurriedly threw us in a cart. Definitely not the Southern hospitality you hear about.
