Great course and round

Haven’t played it since 2009, but knew of its reputation and it lived up to it. Conditions were excellent as well as the staff. Ended up playing with another single as the twosome I was supposed to play with didn’t show up and we had a great time. Look forward to playing again.

Great course design and very good conditions

The Thistle has continued to invest in facilities and it shows. A number of other good courses have not, such as Oyster Bay. Even tough Thistle costs a bit more than other courses, we prefer to play well maintained and conditioned courses.

Great course, but pricey…heck they all are.

Course was in good shape. Staff is nice, food is really bad. Simple suggestion - sell things like Chicken salad in a cup and a simple turkey wrap a la carte, for golfers at the turn. Much healthier option and old greasy fries.

Great Day at the Thistle

Got paired up with a couple of randoms. Best pairing I ever had off GolfPass as a single player. Chamber of Commerce day. Course was great shape as usual. Greens ran true. Shot 80 from the whites. Played in less than four hours. 68 year old golfer. Loved it.

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.
