Thistle is located in a residential development in Calabash just north of the State line near Sunset Beach.
There's three links-style nines, Cameron, MacKay, and Stewart. The layout has large, open fairways with huge rolling greens both guarded by numerous sand bunkers with water in play on almost every hole. It's a scenic setting without homes or development surrounded by hills covered in heather and wild flowers. There's five sets of tees overall, the Stewart/MacKay rotation plays to 74.3/137, course/slope ratings from the tips, MacKay/Cameron 74.9/136, Cameron/Stewart 73.4/137, designed by Tim Cates and opening in 2000.
