Review
Not a bad layout but conditions could be much better. Lots of side hill lies and card yardages are off on some holes.
Staff was great
Staff was amazing highly recommended the Bar inside course was still not perfect yet but overall a great experience will definitely go back!
New Ownership & Management Bring Nice Changes
If you haven't played here in a year or two you might be surprised at the changes. The course is now managed by Man O War Golf in Lexington under former High Point in-house pro Matthew McCrady.
Starting with landscaping upgrades that included short wooden fencing around the parking lot and clubhouse, they have since built a new cart barn, expanded the bar/restaurant, and most recently added new comfy Club Car carts with GPS and Bluetooth.
The course is still in need of extensive cart path repair (thus 4 stars for course conditions) of which they are aware and have plans to rectify in the near future.
All that said, Thoroughbred's greens remain some of the best maintained in the area, the fairways are blazingly fast this time of year and the staff are super friendly. A fun place to play.
Golf now and course staff terrible
The staff at the course was unwilling to accommodate me after not “having any carts” and said to call golf now. Golf now told me to talk to the course. It’s a goat ranch anyway, don’t play it.
Fun Course
For a first time play, it was most pleasant. I'll be back. Some really pretty holes. Nice mix of residential and nature views. Greens were slick and challenging - very few ballmarks. Greens still made some of the shorter holes a test. Nice to play a few par 4's that required strategy off the tee - not just step up with your driver and bang away. Fairways well kept. At 75, played mid tees. Rough around the greens was long and exacted a price. Each hole marker displayed an etched photo of a horse with narrative. Really nice touch. Pretty, quiet out of the way location just 8 minutes outside Nicholasville.
Thoroughbred
Nice course in excellent condition lots of elevation changes. Pure greens, short course from the whites. I highly recommend.
Local Favorite Course
We played early so the dew was thick. The course was in great shape but the t boxes had high grass. I think they were mowing as we were playing so no big deal just had to use tall tees.
Greens were wonderful and we didn’t have any issues with any other players or the cart. What more can you ask for?
Course Description
I loved playing this course. The course is clean, has great greens, and they have great hospitality in the clubhouse. GREAT course!!
The guy working the desk
Course was in great condition. The course has come along way over the years. The barn inside looks great and a good place to have food and drinks afterwards. To the gentleman working the counter this morning 8-29-21. There is ALOT to be desired form him, I don’t know if it was the full attitude of I’m a d-bag coming from him or if it was the I’m soo busy driving carts to the front and then walking to the counter to take your money. Well shoot for all I know he might have had a fight with the old lady and brought that nasty attitude in with him. Never less we still had a great time. Will be back to play soon.
Events
Don’t let people book a tee time if you’re not going to let them play the round they payed for. We booked an 11:30 tee time and they made us stop at 6 to move on to 10. They had an event that wasn’t disclosed until we checked in. Afterwards, we weren’t allowed the allotted time to finish the round that any normal game would’ve taken. And because of the event we were rushed on the back 9.
Great day for golf
Course is in really good shape considering the heat. It was 95° in the shade so I basically had the course to myself. I played 18 hols in 2 hours and 2o minutes. There are a couple of greens that appear to have been damaged otherwise course is in great condition. Great value for one of my favorite courses in the Lexington area. Highly recommend. The restaurant is open and food is really good as well.
Great staff and cook/bartender
Nick was ab awesome cook/bartender. Gave us extra wings and was able to get my buddy a lettuce wrap Turkey Club. Very accommodating. Highly reccomend the course and food
