A PGA Tour golfer who played on Michael Jordan's ultra-exclusive $15 million course gave an "inside scoop" on the Grove XXIII after his visit.

Only a handful of people have been lucky enough to play on Jordan's Florida-based private course over the years. In fact, it was claimed in 2021 that the club had less than 100 members.

Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler and Keegan Bradley featured on a leaked list of members alongside a number of high-profile celebrities, including Mark Wahlberg and Wayne Gretzky.

Dylan Wu, the American player who recently took part in the Puerto Rico Open, has also played on the golf course that features a drone that delivers food.

The 28-year-old would later reveal that there was no tee times and no dress code at the Grove XXIII as he provided an "inside scoop" on the course during an interview with the PGA Tour website.

"The vibe was just really chill," he said. "There were no tee times, and every cart has Bluetooth and connects to your phone to play music."

Wu continued: "There’s no dress code or anything. It’s just a really cool one-of-a-kind club. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see MJ when we were there, but it was super fun. I really enjoyed it.

"It’s super cool. It feels like you’re not in Florida. It feels like you’re in the Midwest with the fescue, but the vibe is just amazing. It’s uncompared to. You just see hints of MJ everywhere like the tee boxes all had six rings on them. The yardage numbers would be on the tee markers, and they were basically six rings."

Jon Weiner, a radio host and sports reporter, has previously detailed the two strict rules that Jordan has put in place at the course – no phones and no photos inside the clubhouse.

"You can't really carry a phone around," he said. "You're not supposed to tell too many stories about it."

Speaking to Golf, another PGA Tour golfer, Rickie Fowler, explained how the course was designed with Jordan's play style in mind.

He said: "The shorter you hit it, the wider it is. He (Jordan) can basically hit driver on all the par 4, par 5s. And if I want to hit driver, I have to kind of put it into a bit of a tighter spot.

"I can obviously play back if I want, but that becomes a little bit of a disadvantage, especially if it's a hole where he's getting a stroke on.

"If I'm giving him a shot, I can't then play from the same spot he is when he's laying zero. I'm not sure the last time it broke 70, but he can shoot anywhere from 71 to 74."

Fowler added: "If he's shooting 77 and he's got a double in there, I got to shoot 65 to get to 18."
