Members list at Michael Jordan’s ultra-exclusive golf club was ‘leaked’ and it makes for fascinating reading

Very few have played Michael Jordan’s course at his private golf club.

A list of members at Michael Jordan’s ultra-exclusive golf club was once leaked and it made for fascinating reading.

Jordan made his name on the court, winning an impressive six NBA championships during his legendary spell with the Chicago Bulls.

He’s widely regarded as the GOAT of basketball following his prolific and trophy-laden career.

Jordan didn’t just channel his sporting excellence at basketball but also at baseball, where he pursued a career.

And ‘MJ’ has a big passion for golf and was a regular guest on the golf course.

But since calling time on his storied basketball career, he now hosts an exclusive golf that he opened up.

The Grove XXIII, his personal, invite-only club in Hobe Sound, Florida, is his very own golf paradise.

Needless to say, very few have played it.

In December 2021, a list of names playing at The Grove XXIII emerged on social media before it was taken down.

Some of the names included golfers Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler and Keegan Bradley.

Not to mention A-list celebrities like Mark Wahlberg, Wayne Gretzky and Ari Emanuel, among many others.

It has been suggested The Grove XXIII delivers refreshments via a drone, showing Jordan is pulling out all the stops at his club.

Bobby Weed, an American golf course architect, was tasked with constructing a course for Jordan, who tracked down the expert, looking for something that could both excite and challenge its members.

“I knew that it would get a lot of attention because of MJ,” Weed told CNN.

“I knew that there was some fanfare associated with it and I didn’t want to let him down.”

Weed described his role as course architect as a ‘quarterback’, calling plays for a large roster of consultants, including Jordan himself.

He added: “I think one of his qualities is he was such a good listener, and he absorbed everything that you were discussing.

“He didn’t come out and say, ‘do this or do that.’. He came out and observed and was a great listener, and he let me do my job.”
