About Thistle Golf Club

You'll find this hidden gem tucked away in the coastal community of Sunset Beach, where the laid-back atmosphere extends right onto the fairways. The course delivers solid, straightforward golf without pretension – think well-maintained bermuda fairways, reasonable green fees, and a pace of play that actually lets you enjoy your round. What sets it apart from the typical beach resort tracks is its walker-friendly layout and genuine local feel, drawing more year-round residents than visiting golfers looking to check another course off their Myrtle Beach bucket list. The 4.6 Google rating from over 750 reviews tells the real story here: this is a course that consistently delivers on expectations without breaking the bank. The routing takes advantage of the natural coastal terrain, and while it won't challenge scratch players, it rewards good course management and punishes wayward shots enough to keep things interesting. If you're staying in the Sunset Beach area and want to skip the crowds and premium pricing of the big-name tracks up the coast, this is your move.
