Great track

Took my friends here for the first time. They loved the course, the layout, and the overall experience. Would have given it a 5.0, but the tee boxes weren’t full of grass, and the greens we kept long, making for slow greens. I’m used to playing on fast greens, so maybe I’m being picky. However, that aside, it’s really a course anyone should want to play.

Great coarse but pace of play was lacking

The course was in great condition. Rough was little thick and good luck finding your ball in the fescue but that was a great challenge. My only complaint was pace of play two groups in front. I ended up playing with another threesome but the foursome 2 grouos ahead of us was dreadfully slow and I did not see anyone speeding them up. On par 3's we would have 2 foursomes waiting on the tee box waiting for them to clear the green.

Windy weather

Greens were aerated last week so they were slow & bumpy as can be expected. Pace of play on the front side was very good. However, the back nine was excruciatingly slow. One group had several other groups backed up.

Best bang for your buck!

This is the best value for a round of golf that you will find anywhere near the Philadelphia area. The course conditions were fantastic, in fact better than most private clubs I play. The layout was great and the elevation changes, really make for a fun round of golf. Everything was in fantastic shape and I’m kicking myself for not playing here sooner. It’s honestly unbelievable for how little they charge for how good this course is.

Average To Ok But Not Good To Great

Second time playing Pilgrim Oaks and everything is still the same. Course is a good track but the lack of staff engagement to constantly get better makes it just ok. Maybe the staff is only exhibiting the culturally norms for the small town and area however, they need to show some appreciation for folks who go well out of their normal commuting area to golf in the Pennsylvania cornfields. Pro shop is limited with regalia and food and drinks…there’s water on the course for .50 cents per bottle so essentially 2 for a dollar unless you’re carrying change. Extremely challenged service and product delivery excellence, but an average to ok place to stop off if you have time to spare and checkout the course for golfing only, so come prepared.

Beautiful Golf Course

One of my favorite places in the surrounding area. Course is always in excellent shape. Staff is very friendly and laid back. The layout of the course navigates rolling hills with plenty of elevation changes. The flatstick needs to be in working order to navigate these quick undulating greens.

Pilgrim's Oak is a gem

I have been playing this course every month or so for the past couple of years. The course is challenging, always seems to be in great shape. Yesterday the greens were a tad sow for me. But it's July and they are not rolling them as much. Certainly worth the money, and worth a drive of you want a change of pace
