Pilgrim's Run Golf Club

Pilgrim's Run easily lived up to all the hype. You get way more than what you pay for here. Everything was in fantastic shape (with the exception of a few too many unrepaired ball marks) and the architecture is sublime. The greens here are easily some of the best I've ever played. I love the blind tee shots and approaches and there's just the right amount of visual deception with the bunkering. My only qualm was the pace of play. The ranger acknowledged the group in front of us was slow, but never seemed to do anything about it. I will definitely be back soon. I feel like I need to solve this puzzle.

Course was in great shape, had a hard time figuring out the score card and which were the senior tees

The course is beautiful and in pristine conditions.
My husband and I were paired up with 2 guys who had a five year old boy with them. We love children but the gentlemen were letting the little guy play which slowed us down quite a bit. There was no one behind so I can't understand the decision of the starter to let a child play on a Saturday.
There was no beverage cart service and the snack bar items were limited.

This is truly one of the best hidden gem courses in the state. If you’re in Grand Rapids it’s worth the trip north to play pilgrims. The serenity and layout make you feel like you’re alone on every hole, and the course has serious Augusta vibes. Would recommend to anyone looking for a challenging and beautiful round of golf.

I want so terribly to give this place 5 stars. It’s an unbelievable value with friendly staff, and Dyer course is pristine. Truly one of my favorites in the entire state.

I play as a single here fairly often. So I expect the occasional wait on the tee box. Truth is, the wildlife and views generally offer enough distraction that it’s no problem.

I’m only compelled to leave this review now because after 5-6 consecutive issues with pace, the issue seems systemic.

If the course is completely slammed, sure, letting a single or twosome play through doesn’t always make sense (though it usually does).

The issue here is enforcement—4some refusing to let smaller/faster groups play through, causing massive backups behind them.3 groups on a hole for 5 consecutive holes, even after I placed a friendly call to the clubhouse to let them know the issue.

Slow golf is rough—it’s tougher when you know it can be avoided with a ranger holding folks to the rules.

First off the staff was very accommodating.
Sue & Sam were very helpful & friendly.
As was the starter.

The course was in perfect shape.
For all the recent hot weather it was very green & well watered.
Very well marked course for my first time there.
I highly recommend this course for its layout & price.
It was on my Michigan bucket list.
I shall return one day again.
You have to try this course.
Very enjoyable experience in golfing.

Course was in great shape but some tough pin placements

Pilgrims Run never fails to deliver. Course was in great shape. One of my favorites. Best bang for the buck. You'll pay much more at Ravines, Hawks Head, Tulleymore, but won't have a better experience. Diamond Springs is comparable in prices but Pilgrims Run has more interesting holes.

Only a 35 minute drive from Grand Rapids and you arrive at a course that is meticulously cared for. A great walk in the park. Staff was very friendly. We are going back!!

Beautiful course in a very gorgeous and wooded layout. Quite challenging from the blue tees.

Course could use a marshal to keep the pace of play up as it took 4.5 hours for a 7 am tee time. Definitely recommend it and also recommend that the starter or marshal suggest the appropriate tee boxes for the golfer based on skill and/or handicap.

Another great round at Pilgrim's Run, by far the best public course in the Grand Rapids area, according to this reviewer. Conditions were spectacular, greens rolling beautifully, layout is fun and pace was enjoyable. This is a must play course in West Michigan!

Course is in great condition from Tee to green.
Had a great time playing Pilgrims Run and will be back next week.

Just a beautiful layout from start to finish fantastic conditioning interesting holes beautiful vistas just a first class experience all the way around. And the value is off the charts. Complete hear you’ll be happy you did.

This is a hidden gem in Michigan. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens in excellent shape! I will definitely be back. Greens were phenomenal! If you haven’t played here I highly recommend it.
