First time playing

My wife and I were looking for challenging but fair course to play. We did the research and we were not disappointed. The course was in good condition. It was a 11/2 hour drive from where we were staying in Michigan but it was worth it. We will play it again. We are both pretty good golfers but the course took its toll. We want to go back to do a better job.

Favorite Golf Course

Pilgrim's Run is my favorite golf course. The layout allows me to feel like our group is in our own beautiful, serene world. Each hole is separated by enough space that you don't see the next hole and there are no houses or roads that can be seen from the course. The golf course is immaculately maintained and the tees offer playability for all the different levels pf players. The staff is gentle, caring, kind and attentive.

My Local Favorite

Of all the GR area (non-private) courses, I'd rank Pilgrims Run #1. A round here is more of a journey through the woods of West Michigan than anything. I've played it dozens of times and yet to have a round where I didn't see abundant wildlife such as turkeys, deer and foxes.

On top of that, the conditions are perfect and the course is looking as beautiful as ever! A solid layout that's fun to play. Highly recommended and looking forward to returning soon!

Stunning course

Words can not describe the magnificent condition of this course. The fairways, greens and traps were all pristine. The design was fair but challenging. I would recommend this course to anyone who is within 200 miles of this course. The $32.00 senior (Tuesday) rate was a steal. Come any play this diamond in the ruff.

West Michigan at its best

Truly enjoyed my round at Pilgrim's Run. Staff and course are excellent. Multiple tees to ensure playability.

Disappointed that Golf Now booking only saved $2 from regular senior fee. If I was not VIP, transaction fees would have made it more expensive than calling course direct.

Pilgrams Run

This is a great course that is always above average in condition and service and enjoyment. Because of the spacing of the tee time you very seldom see any other golfers once you tee off. This should be the first stop on anyone Michigan golf vacation.

It's Got to Be

It's got to be one of the top two or three courses in West Michigan, if not the best. The course conditions and layout are superb. Staff friendliness Is tops. I particularly like that (in summer) you get a bucket of balls for the driving range to warm up for your round. I played in November and felt like I had the course to myself and just enjoyed the fall colors. Senior days are on Tuesdays and if you qualify, you can play for $30. I get a kick out of the holes being named. I highly recommend this course. It's a bit out of the way, but well worth the drive. The club house has everything you need and quiite often at the turn there is a person grilling dogs and burgers. It's got to be the best!

Great course!

This is now one of my favorite courses in Michigan! It has pretty wide fairways, lots of sand traps and very undulating greens! It is definitely a very good test for you. If you hit it straight you will be good, if not bring a lot of balls. It is very tree lined and lots of hills. I loved it!!!

Awesome Track

I thoroughly enjoyed playing this course. It was challenging but very fair. The greens were amazing. The overall beauty of the course was a sight to behold!

The only thing that seemed completely out of order was the Starter. He didn't fit the otherwise very beautiful and welcoming agenda displayed throughout our visit.
