Thoroughbred Golf Club at Double JJ Resort

The course was in excellent condition and some of the pin placements were challenging. Overall it was a great course and very friendly staff!!

Long awaited chance to play left a lot to be desired. Out of the way location, associated with horseback riding/water park (Double JJ Ranch) did not impress. Understanding that new ownership has only been in place 2 years, there is reason to believe it will get better. Designer(Arthur Hils) was brought back to review and advise changes. While the layout is scenic, the conditions on tee boxes, fairways, and most all of course was fair at best.Following wet spring everything was extremely dry even around low lying areas of swamp and lake. Despite everything being so arid, the greens were the only other positive point of note. Very true and fair. To be fair the course has not been taken care of probably because they clearly have not attracted the business needed to support the Double JJ property.. More attention to golf only would go a long way to making it a challenging nice place to play

Great course and friendly staff. Saved a ton of money on GolfNow. For an early season round of golf the greens and fairways were in excellent condition. I will definitely be going back.

Challenging layout cut through hilly and wooded terrain. Very tough from blue or gold tees, but white and red are very fair for mid to high handicappers. Should have a GPS or yardage book to navigate your way. Pay careful attention approaching greens as several of them have little hazards that pinch in near them. Played in April before the trees bloomed... must be beautiful in summer and fall.

The timing was excellent and the course perfect. We feel we received he deal of the century! I'm recommending this website to all my golf friends.

I have been reading reviews on this course that were not very good. Do not know what they were talking about. It was in great shape! The only thing that needs work are the cart paths.I will play here again.

Played her about 20 years ago and it has really grown up. Layout is fun and challenging with lots of elevation change and blind shots. Bring lots of balls cuz you don't want to chase into the woods - lots of poison ivy! Condition was good to very good - greens in great shape, fairways were good but a lot of the greens were pretty rough. With some effort from management, this course could be spectacular. Pro shop just average, with staff doing several jobs at the same time. No beverage cart on a Saturday in the middle of summer - at a resort course! What are they thinking. But I would and will go back - especially if I can find another Golf Now Hot Deal!!

The Thoroughbred Golf Club remains a challengin and beautiful course. Many features are not found on a resort course. Unfortunately due to a variety of circumstances..it is not being kept up to the standards originally intended for this great course. Fees remain high..and traffic is very low..not a bad thing when you are playing. .but it does not bode well for this once incredible course.

At one time this challenging and scenic golf course was one of best in west Michigan. Unfortunately, the condition of the course has deteriorated over the years. Would to see this course return to its great condition of a few years ago.

This course is T-O-U-G-H !!! In very nice shape. If you think your a big hitter, play from the Gold on this course!! OMG Some extremely challenging holes with no let-up. Tremendous piece of property that could be amazing with some TLC. The practice range needs lots of attention. Told us the "picker is broken", so we had to drive out on the range and pick up our own practice balls......those balls have been out there a long, long time. No beverage cart was a bummer - on a perfect day. We were basically by ourselves on the course though. Check out the greens before you hit - lots of buried elephants give HUGE undulations.

I picked the wrong weekend - or right one, depending upon your point of view - to play the Thoroughbred for the first time. I played the first day of the Electronic Forest Festival, a Woodstock-like music festival that takes over the small town of Rothbury and its surrounding fields. My GPS took me right through the festival, so I had to sweet talk my way through numerous roadblocks to get to the course. The hassle was worth it. I came away really impressed with the golf experience of the Thoroughbred. There are tons of places to lose balls, notably the very poorly conceived second hole, a long par 4 around a wetland. There are no flat lies in that fairway, leaving high-handicaps no choice but to layup instead of taking on the carry over the hazard to reach the green. Beyond that design snafu, golfers will love the scenery and backwoods setting of the course. The new owner of Double JJ Resort is working hard to bring course conditions up to the standards it used to offer. I'd take the Thoroughbred for a ride again, no doubt.

Great golf course, have played before many times. Was a little disappointed upon arrival was informed the front nine was closed due to aeration process. Other than that it was great.

Lovely piece of real estate. Greens in good condition, but you are beginning to see weeds encroaching in the bunkers. Staff was very friendly and the pace of play moved pretty quickly for a Sunday afternoon. I definitely will play again with GolfNow discount but would not pay the full price for the course.

I hadn't played this course in 15 years and had forgotten what a nice track it is. It is evident that there are shortcuts being taken on the course up keep (i.e. the fairways are mown on the long side), but they're not charging $90.00 anymore either. I would say its probably one of the best $40-50.00 courses one could play...

This course is a very challenging course and the course has a great layout. But the upkeep and care for the course is definitely not what it should be. I played this course about 10 years ago and it was clean, green, and was known as one of the premier courses in west Michigan. But since then it is evident that the attention to detail for the maintainence of this course has drastically decreased.

GREAT COURSE. Fun. Beautiful views!!! Come ready to play. Very difficult if you play the blue or gold tees. Double JJ Ranch is a wonderful play for the entire family! Things to do for everyone.

We played 36 holes on a Saturday morning and found the course to be in great shape, very challenging, and the staff could not have been friendlier. Our only wish was that there was a beverage cart out on the course. Other than that, it is a great course for a great price. I highly recommend making the trip!

they had 100 people on an outing and told us we would have to wait two hours so we left and I still nee to be reimbursed from golf now for your fees

Tight, hilly, long, and blind shots. Have played this course for years but not lately. Excellent playing conditions. Bring golf balls. Not much play in the middle of the week. Had the place to ourselves. Nice.

First time playing and was somewhat challenging due to not knowing the layout. Not a lot of level lies and some blind shots, but overall would definitely recommend playing. However, do bring a couple extra sleeves of balls just in case.
