Myrtle Beach golfers have a new reason to head for the border, even if it’s just for the day. Only minutes north of the State line in Sunset Beach near the village of Calabash, the new Thistle Golf Club offers one of the most beautiful and challenging 27-hole layouts on the Grand Strand. Thistle takes its name from an ancient Scottish golf society dating back to the early 1800’s, and the course layout posses a distinct Scottish links feel, with wind-swept fairways, large bentgrass greens and surrounding hillsides covered in heather and wild flowers.
