Pilgrim's Oak Golf Course

The course is a beautiful layout and its always in excellent shape. The overall golf experience is excellent for the price. Only have two complaints: 1) Several of the greens are so difficult they are silly. (notably 3, 11 and 15) 2) The pro shop only has hot dogs and occasionally stale, cold turkey and ham sandwiches.

As remembered it was in great shape for 11/16/17. Need some ball washers.

Great course with a variety of holes. Course was in excellent condition. One thing you’ll want to keep in mind is this course always has windy conditions.

This is my favorite course in Lancaster County. Being a traditional links course, this is not one you want to walk unless you are in great physical condition. Every hole is unique and challenging, with the exception of #4, a par 3 wedge hole. With soft sand in the bunkers and pristine fairways, the greens are true, fast, and nicely undulating, making this course exceptionally challenging!

I have cancer and this course was too hilly for me. It also had a lot of bind shots and some of them were alittle dangerous. It was a beautiful venue and in great condition. I needed a flatter course. Lost some balls in the ruff.

One of the best maintained In the area and a great price! Greens are super fast, fairways are wide and forgiving for those risk/reward shots. Played in 3.5 hours, had a beginner with me so I let any group that caught us to play through so he did not feel pressured. I look forward to playing here again soon hopefully in the fall with the foliage it will make a nice view. It’s worth the drive and money.

First time playing here and I will absolutely be back. Friendly starter and staff. My twosome teed off just before 7:30am and finished within 3.5 hours. Fairways and greens in great shape. Nice mix of challenging holes and scoring holes. Greens were small, fast, and undulating. The scenery was really great. Big open farmland, very few houses. I drove about 50 minutes to play here and wasn't sure what to expect for a prime time weekend rate of only $53. The course reminded me of Broad Run in West Chester, which is easily $30 more expensive (and worth it). This may be my new favorite SE PA course!

Played on a beautiful day, with a GolfNow app tee time deal. First time on this course. I had always heard good things about it.

Pros and Cons:

Pros: Really nice course layout, with a mix of challenging holes. Good elevation changes and holes facing different wind conditions. Generous fairways on many of the holes. I played from the blue tees, which was a good challenging distance for me. Greens rolled true. Fairways were a little soft, but to be fair, we had gotten a bit of rain for a couple days prior. They probably needed another day to drain fully.

Staff was very friendly. Pro shop was outfitted nicely.

Cons:

Layout, while challenging, was really confusing for a first time visitor like me. On some tee boxes I had a difficult time actually figuring out which direction I was supposed to be hitting. You really should never have to stand on a tee box and go 360º looking around for the correct direction to hit. They need better signage, or some aiming stakes on the fairways.

Locker room and bathroom amenities were not as good as I expected for a course with a high reputation.

No marshals on the course to help with pace of play. Even with the course not very crowded there were foursomes and threesome playing VERY slow and not to good about letting faster groups through.

For some reason, the driving range was closed at 9am that day, so I had no chance to hit balls before the round. That just shouldn't happen. Not at 9am.

Overall, the pros outweigh the cons at Pilgrims Oak. I'll definitely be coming back. I hope the management addresses the pace of play (with marshals) and the confusing tee boxes.

Course is in Great shape. Very little brown spots and no crabgrass

Pilgrim Oak was worth the 1 1/2 hour trip. It's layout and course maintenance was superb. The staff was friendly and provided helpful advice. This is a " must play " course.

Course is in great shape, greens are very challenging. Would have been a great round if a Marshall was out to speed up the 4-some in front of us. Since they were so slow we got caught in the rain, but we should have been done already.
