We play here pretty often. It’s a solid golf course with well-kept grounds and friendly staff. The food is consistently good, making it a nice place to relax and enjoy a round.

Terrible course conditions and rude staff.
Stereotypical club house attitude. Cant ask a simple question without them talking to you like you’re an idiot. Very entitled for a horrible course.
I called to see if I could be added to a friend’s tee time and before I even started telling the guy on the phone any details. He said “no. Your friends Curtis already called. I told him no.” I have no clue who Curtis is and he had a tone like I should’ve known better for asking. Who else am I supposed to get this information from other than the pro shop. No matter how respectful you are these guys are gonna treat you like an animal. Typical. No course with dead fairways should have this attitude. Don’t play here.
Connemara and Widows Watch Are in the same area for the same price (if not cheaper) and the fairways are actually playable.

Used to be a decent course at a very affordable price. Now it's priced above other courses in the area ($55 on a Saturday vs $47 for Connemara for reference) and is by far the worst condition. Fairway grass is pitiful, and something has happened to nearly all the greens recently to make them look scorched. Ranger drives around all day, but no beverage cart on a hot saturday when every tee time is booked. Seems like the staff care a lot more about acting like they own a PGA level course than actually making the course on par with the Lexington city courses 15 minutes down the road. Hadn't been in 3-4 years because of a bad experience, and decided to give them another chance. I will personally never be back.

I've gone twice this year. Once in spring and the fairways were looking very rough - as in, it had looked like they received no water. Fine, I get it, the weather can be rough sometimes, things happen.
Several months later, I come back (a few weeks ago) and the fairways look even worse. On top of that, there's zero course management going on here.
We were asked to start on the back 9, no problem. Made it through in two hours just fine. Get to the turn and there's a group waiting to tee off and 3 more groups behind them.
Okay... things get backed up, saw this and had asked if we could simply go through the back 9 again. Despite 9 and 10 being open, was told, word for word, "Can't, you guys are just going to have to deal with it."
Don't waste your time here. It's not worth $55 or even $25 if you ask me. Only positive is that most greens were in decent shape given the lack of rain over the last several weeks.

I’ve played a lot of courses, but Thoroughbred Golf Club feels more like a goat ranch than a golf course. The greens are always punched—seriously. Fairways? If you can find any grass, consider it a miracle. Most of the time it’s just patches of dirt with some weeds trying to pass as turf. It’s more like hitting off a gravel driveway than a fairway.
Maintenance is clearly not a priority, and it shows. Save your money unless you’re looking for a place to practice your desert golf game or herd livestock
