Thoroughbred Golf Club at Double JJ Resort

This was my first time playing the course. Growing up we always heard what a beautiful course Thoroughbred was. They had some big events and it’s claimed to fame was the architecture and how well they preserve the nature around the course. I know they struggled for a few years with some irrigation problems and some other issues. I read the reviews, and I was very nervous to play the course. I am so glad that I did. This place was absolutely beautiful. It was in much better shape than I even expected it to be. Every hole is a little bit of a drive from the previous green and not only is the drive beautiful but getting to the next tea box at every hole is its own experience. The staff was extremely friendly. I will absolutely be back and I recommend anyone to play this course. Patrons of the past and first give it a shot. I promise you won’t regret it.

Need to play this once at least to know how to play it. Need to work your way around. Just about every shot from a fairway is a side hill, or up or down lie. Greens small but in good condition. Most greens slow and receptive, we played in wet conditions.

Jimmy the Manager shows up in a greasy t-shirt yelling at me saying I stole a cart in front of about 20 other golfers. Then mocks my religious beliefs. Also overheard him calling other staff members “idiots”. Pretty said he is in a people business with absolutely no people skills. Unbelievable!

Played this course on Saturday and the Manager Jimmy came out in a greasy tee-shirt yelling at me nearly attacking me in front of children and other golfers. Unprofessional, unacceptable rude behavior and not wearing golf attire. This place is a joke. This guy should be terminated. What an embarrassment to the game of golf.

Double JJ Ranch Thoroughbred Golf Course is an absolute gem and a must-play for any golf enthusiast. This PGA Championship quality course is set in a pristine environment, surrounded by majestic trees and a stunning lake, offering breathtaking views at every turn. The beauty of the course makes it feel like a private sanctuary, easily one of the prettiest golf courses in the area.

The experience is further enhanced by the super friendly staff, especially Barb in the pro shop, who goes out of her way to make everyone feel welcome. The senior discounts are a great touch, making it more accessible for older golfers. The addition of a new GPS range system on the golf carts is a fantastic upgrade, ensuring you have all the information you need to play your best game.

Overall, Double JJ Ranch Thoroughbred Golf Course combines top-notch facilities with a spectacular setting, creating an unforgettable golfing experience. Highly recommended!

One of the more difficult public courses in the state. There is not much room on many holes off the fairway.

Love the scenic layout and undulating greens. Must play if you want a challenge.

OK we were just here if you want to go in the end of July when they re-opened up and the greens were horrible but now I’m playing October 5 Thursday only one on the course unbelievable and the greens are at least twice as nice and twice as fast as they were so they’re making their way back. The fairways are coming back really nice. The tea boxes are still a little spongy and a lot of moles, and so forth but the fairways and greens are are coming back. That’s the great news is still $25 played by myself in less than three hours from the blues Shotwell And the bones of this course are just still fantastic from Arthur Hills. I don’t know how I stay in business I’m the only one in the Sundance salon having lunch at 3 o’clock maybe I don’t know I don’t have a reason why this place just does not get any business here. It’s only work 20 minutes from Muskegon an hour from Grand Rapids I drove almost an hour to get here but it’s worth it the serene, peaceful quietness and you’re by yourself gorgeous Arthur hills, Leo And only $25 and now I’m gonna have a nice signature burger at the salon which is very nice also so unfortunately I have nothing but good to say but we need to get some people here so they stay in business. They did invest a lot of money and clearing out the brush cutting down a bunch of scrub stuff back in the spring, so there are spending money on the course get up here and play Arthur Hills, Thoroughbred

Oh, we came on Thursday, July 20, 2023 and they just reopened after being close last year for irrigation issues. OK the course is still in really rough shape but it’s on the mend. The biggest improvement is that they Musta hired a company to do a lot of brush hog, trim work all around the course which opened things up fantastically at least the reinvesting into the course. I do not really encourage playing it right now. It was just the only thing that reopened in that it was $25 each if the course is in Primo shape of beer $75 course played hear back in 1997 and it wasn’t Primo shape and we used to come up late in the afternoon for a twighlight about the same price of $25. Has the most elevation change of most any course around feels like you’re way up north and hilly as can be Arthur hills really utilized the layout of the land here to the max and if you play from the Tips you better bring Reagan because it’s a 149 slope rating issue so I would encourage to wait maybe a year right now is not the time but we could still have fun playing there it’s just in really bad shape. Unfortunately the greens were super shaggy waterlogged, plugging, etc. but the food is good at the steakhouse, so go for.

Fairways and greens were good but off the fairway alot of thick quack grass. Narrow in places accuracy is important. Lots of woods to enjoy and fall colors.

Nice track, greens were in good shape, but the pace of play was way too slow. Finally we skipped a hole and a guys said, "oh, we didn't realize were holding everyone up. I guess we could pick it up a little." If there had been a Marshall pushing a little it would have been great.

Best greens around. New pro Chris is awesome and very accommodating. I actually live on a course nearby and plan on moving to this course next year 20 minutes away from home.

This course is not easy by any means, but it is always in good shape, the only crazy hole is #2, an extremely difficult that is a little extreme in my mind. Every hole on the course is away from other holes which is wonderful, so you are almost alone all the time as you play a hole! I have here many times, and I will always come back when I am on the west-side of the state.

Typically good Arthur Hills course. Challenging but fair. Great greens and overall in good condition but tees and bunkers could use some additional attention. Need to keep the ball straight, thick trees and lots of swamps. Each hole is completely by itself, you never see another hole. Very secluded. Heavy rain the day we played so we were by ourselves on the course. Course drained well and service was excellent. Great rate (hot deal) on Golf Now.

Staff very friendly. Course has some great holes and is a nice layout. Some blind shots but course book was very helpful. Overall a good value, course itself could just use a little TLC. But considering everything would definitely play there again.

Definitely requires course knowledge. Few holes are rather gimmicky, meaning just poor design. A few greens were like miniature golf, only missing the clown face. Bring a very good GPS system with you. Overall, I wouldn't rush to play here again.
