These are the hallmarks of our award-winning golf course and gated golf community. Located just minutes from the beautiful barrier island beaches, Thistle offers a select number of 145 custom homes overlooking 27 breathtaking holes and surrounding natural areas, providing a level of privacy, privileges and an intimacy that many larger communities lack. Like our course, the architecture of the homes at Thistle reflects the influences of Scotland. We invite you to discover the extraordinary lifestyle now available at Thistle Downs.
            
Amenities: The central focus of our community is our 27-hole Scottish style golf course. It has been recognized among the top semi-private courses in the Carolinas, recently awarded 4.5 stars. The course will be complemented by a handsome clubhouse designed with distinctive Scottish influences, with stone and stucco accents, a large double-sided fireplace and an authentic Scottish bar. Private areas will be designated for members and their guests. 

Homes:  Thistle features homes that reflect Scottish and English cottage influences, with steep-pitched roofs and stone accents. Each home will enjoy breathtaking views of the course. An architectural review committee approves all new homes to assure quality and continuity in the design and construction. Homes range around $500,000 to well over $1 million.

Security: Ours is a gated community, allowing limited access to residents and guests with confirmed golf reservations.
          
Location & Conveniences: Located in North  Carolina’s coastal Brunswick Isles area, just minutes from Calabash and Sunset Beach, and the beautiful barrier islands of Ocean Isle Beach. It is conveniently situated between Myrtle Beach, SC and Wilmington, NC, with both offering convenient air service, fabulous opportunities for dining and entertainment, outstanding medical facilities and well-respected institutions of higher learning. Our mild year-round climate is another attribute that has made this one of the most desirable areas to live in America.
