Thistle Golf Club - Cameron Course

Overall, my time at the Thistle Golf Club facility was stellar. Great conditions, layout, course amenities, and at a ‘decent’ value. Only issue I had was with the bag drop guys. First time playing at this facility and the bag drop guys couldn’t have made me feel less welcome. I had to let them know 3 separate times that I was there and ready for my tee time & they seemed to brush me off and only pay attention to who seemed like regulars at the facility. Then, I finally got tossed into a tee time that was about 20-30mins later than my actual tee time & on a course combination that I did not sign up for (really wanted to play Cameron). With all this aside, I will absolutely be coming back on my next trip to Myrtle Beach. The course played well to my playing style and I throughly enjoyed my time there after I finally got on the course.

Absolutely surreal experience! My husband and I are on vacation from Canada and we decided to treat ourselves to a more luxurious experience and Thistle did not disappoint! Although started off feeling shaky and nervous to be at such an incredible spot it didn’t take long to feel at home wishing we could come back again and again :) Course was in amazing shape - staff were phenomenal - grounds like we’ve never seen. And to top it off we were paired with the most lovely couple! Best golf experience yet! Spend the money and go to Thistle!

Decided to play due to recommendation from a buddy of mine. Was not disappointed. Course was in great shape. Staff really showed their appreciation for me being there and couldn’t be more proud of their course. Will definitely play again.

Conditions, design, and staff professionalism makes this a 5 ⭐️ course.

One of the nicest best kept courses I’ve played near Myrtle Beach.

Great layout and good pace. Probably a little pricey for he course but we enjoyed the play.

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.

We always try to play Thistle when we're in the Myrtle Beach area. Just the greatest and most gorgeous course. In great condition, too.

Attentive staff. Solid pace of play. Course was in excellent condition. Multiple sets of tees for most skill levels. Would highly recommend

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.

This course was in excellent shape and should certainly be on everyone’s bucket list.

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.
