Great course- great staff- with one exception.

This course was FANTASTIC. 3/4 staff members I encountered were an absolute joy. Burger at the clubhouse was exceptional . The one exception, unfortunately was the rude employee working the cash register who I later learned was in a sour mood from a little league game the night before. He acted like it was a monumentally absurd effort to ring me up for my round. Treated just about everyone coming through the place that morning like garbage.

Great course, great people

Course was nice, the carts are really nice with the bluetooth and GPS features, staff was very friendly and had a ton of stuff in the pro shop. The cart paths were rough but that was the only flaw. Will definitely play here more often

Good experience

Got an early evening tee time for a Hot Rate fee of $20.99. It was late enough (6:50pm) to know it would be closer to playing 9 holes than a full 18. Course was in good shape. GPS-enabled carts is a huge bonus, especially as it was my first round. I was in a hurry with the late tee time, but it looked like a great pro shop and restaurant area at the start/turn.

Fun track

This was a fun course. We played the front 9 twice as we were playing really fast on a hot day and caught the group at the turn. The first time around was a challenge as we didn’t really know where we were going. You don’t really see the hole from the tee so there is plenty of trouble to get into. The GPS was a little wonky which didn’t make it any easier. But playing it the second time around, we knew what to do and what to avoid. I’m sure the back 9 is just as fun. I will definitely try to come back if I’m ever in the area again with my clubs. Staff was great and very helpful. The greens were in good shape but slower than I prefer. Lots of roll out on the firm fairways.

The course looks good

I went after 3 hard days of rain. It was muddy on the back 9 which it was to be expected. Greens were great the fairways were rough it felt like we was getting punished the ball would be either to high above your feet or to low. I went with a buddy and we prefer playing from the roughs on this course. I prefer more open places were if you slice the ball you won’t hit a home but I managed just fine. The staff and equipment was great.

Fun course, great staff!

The course played well, rough was a little overgrown. Staff was super friendly and the club house restaurant is great. Best hotdog I’ve had in a long time.

Not a bad layout but conditions could be much better. Lots of side hill lies and card yardages are off on some holes.

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.
