Good course

Greens were pretty rough, unexpectedly. Usually good but not good right now. Pace of play pretty rough which is usually since nobody manages the tee times. I usually play the River Club which is a lot better. Forest Hills will work if you just need to get a round in.

Golfer’s delight

First time in the Lake Oconee area. I’m in love with the course layout and the overall challenge of the course. Conditions are great right now. I usually play above average course in the Carolina’s and I’m adding this one to my list. Tee to green very good. So many fun holes. However, the course will make you pay if you are not a mid to low handicap. Please play forward tees so that you don’t hold up the rest of us. Thanks!

Conditions

Conditions were much improved. The course was in bad shape a month ago but it is resembling the course I remember again. Played it twice this week and thoroughly enjoyed it. The course is always better when no rain.

I’m saddened by this course

I moved here three years ago and fell in love with this course. Over the last few months, course conditions have slowly depleted. This course used to be green and have best fairways. No longer. I understand that the course took somewhat of a beaten during the hurrincane but geez. My budddy and I played at full price even though we could only play 17 holes. Also could not play bunkers. I’m just disappointed in this course. I felt like a GF that had cheated on me when I left this place. I would advise serious golfers to avoid the course right now. Maybe it will be restored by summer.

I wouldn't jump off the ledge just yet. It's February and I haven't played any courses that are green right now. I played a couple of weeks ago and feel like the course was good. They are rebuilding every bunker out there and it is a slight put off that you only get to play 17 holes but still the best layout around and greens are perfect.

Terrible

Never again. Drove 1:15 mins for this. We played 5 holes and left. Drove to Raleigh for real golf. I have never been more disappointed in a golf course. I’m baffled that the place has 4.5 stars. Awkward course, poorly maintained, greens were descent but aerated.

Castle Bay

Course has seen better days. I have always loved the layout of Castle Bay. When I moved here three years ago I thought the course was in very good shape. It provided a links style challenge, but it has taken a turn for the worse over the last couple years. I will only play this course as a practice round for a pretty low price, if I want to get in a quick round near Wilmington.

Nice track but rude staff

Let me preface my comments by saying that I am a general manager of a large corporation. I know Customer service very well and this place needs CS training. It’s a very nice course with good greens, fairways, and practice facilities. For the price, it’s a good deal. Just don’t expect much with service. I can tell that they just hire the typical grumpy old men here and they obviously take their jobs too serious and over manage everything. When I come out to play golf, I have enough things on my mind than following all of their silly little rules such as checking in before you touch the practice grounds. The staff feels the need to ride down and tell us to check in before using the facility. That’s fine if that’s the rules but I don’t have to like it or come back. I play at much fancier courses and don’t have all of these annoyances. But no worries, we will continue to go to Thistle and will definitely tell everyone else to avoid this place if they don’t want to be bothered. Focus on giving the customers the best experience possible. Overall good course but unfortunately we will not be returning. We drove an hour for this place. There is a common theme of grumpy old men at these Myrtle area courses. Getting sick of it. Don’t work if you can’t be nice to the paying patrons. Good luck.

From the Head Golf Professional. Since Sandpiper Bay is not a fancier golf course we require all golfers to check in because the range balls are included with your paid round. There is a small fee to practice on the range if you are not golfing. Problem solved for 2019, all range balls will be distributed by the starter so you will have to check in with one of our “grumpy” old men.

Happy New Year!

Not good this year

The course is not in good shape this year. I’m quite disappointed in the upkeep of the course. I will not be playing here for a while. Greens bad, fairways bad, bunkers awful, and the overall upkeep is bad.

Great course

Great course as usual. Fairways and tee boxes in good shape but greens were not. Some had been aerated but they looked to be in terrible shape. Not sure what has happened but when you pay $100 you expect a lot. Overall, Thistle is a great track, just may be a while before I come back.

Not worth the money

This course is definitely overrated. Not a fun course. Nearly every hole was tight and quirky. This is the kind of course that I personally hate, but I’m sure many people can enjoy this course. The greens are the best thing about the course. That’s about it.

Beautiful course, overpriced

The course is beautiful but definitely not worth the rate. I don’t go to Pawley’s often to play and this has solidified me never going again. I was not impressed with the course overall. For the rate, I was expecting something special. It’s just average. I think the fact that there is no driving range really ruined it for me.
