Thistle Golf Club

Awarded ****½ stars by Golf Digest, Thistle offers a Scottish-links design with generous wind-swept fairways, stacked sod bunkers and large greens making it one of areas most demanding courses. Named after the Thistle Club, an ancient Scottish golf society, the dramatic 27-hole layout reflects its 1800's Scottish heritage with rolling fairways, hillsides covered in heather and wild flowers, flawless Bentgrass greens and carefully carved bunkers. Of note is probably the par 3 ninth on the "South" nine that plays uphill usually into the wind to a green perched atop a huge mound protected by 2 deep pot bunkers & water. With twelve minutes in between tee times, the Thistle ensures a leisurely round for all. Stop by and visit their new clubhouse which houses an authentic Scottish pub and one of the best collections of golf memorabilia in the world.
