About this course

The Thoroughbred Golf Club is located at the Double JJ Resort in Rothbury, Michigan, about six miles from Lake Michigan and roughly thirty minutes north of Grand Haven. The course opened on July 4, 1993, and was designed by architect Arthur Hills, who returned in 2016 for a ceremony renaming it the Arthur Hills Thoroughbred Golf Club.

The layout runs across about 400 acres of forest, wetlands and lakes, following the natural contours of the land, and includes a par-4 second hole that wraps around a cranberry bog. The course is also known for allowing horseback riders from the resort's stables the right of way on its cart paths.

Thoroughbred is part of the Double JJ Resort and operates on a semi-private basis, with tee times available to resort guests and outside golfers, stretching to about 6,887 yards from the back tees.

Pilgrim's Run Golf Club

Pierson, MI · 42 mi away

Pilgrim's Run Golf Club is a public course on more than 400 acres of wooded, rolling terrain in Pierson, Michigan, about 30 miles north of Grand Rapids. It was built in 1997-98 by Kris Schumaker and Mike DeVries, with the holes divided among six people who each drew a set of numbers by lot, a story documented by the Golf Association of Michigan. The course has bent grass fairways and distinctive green complexes, with only three par-3 holes, giving it a par of 73 at 7,093 yards from the tips. It offers six sets of tees and no homes along the fairways, giving a secluded feel for a public facility.
