Thistle Golf Club & Estates

The Thistle Golf Club is an exclusive golfing destination that features 27 eye-catching and challenging holes. Featuring a traditional Scottish design, and built to mimic a club with early 1800s roots, Thistle Golf Club & Estates is an undeniably unique and scenic addition to the coastal Carolina golf scene.

Thistle Golf Club is located a couple miles away from the South Carolina border, and is just inland of the Sunset Beach shoreline. Surrounded by natural and manmade ponds, creeks, and marshes, the scenery is all about the stunning waterfront, and it’s not unusual for golfers to catch glimpses of local gators and herons while winding through the on-the-water fairways. The 27 holes are divided into three Par 35 or Par 36 courses, called the Cameron, the Mackay, and the Stewat, which were each designed by acclaimed architect Tim Crate. There’s also nicely extensive practice facilities with 20,000 square foot teeing grounds and a 10,000 square foot putting green, an on-site golf shop, and private lessons and clinics for golfers who want to perfect their game. With a stunning clubhouse and event space for weddings or other celebrations, golfers and parties of all sizes can enjoy life by the water in this naturally stunning golf course and club in the heart of Sunset Beach.
