Pilgrim's Run Golf Club

Every hole uses the basic lay of the land. No resident homes on the entire course
Keep the ball in the fairway, at least out of the tree lined course.

Personally I feel like it’s top2-3 in the whole west Michigan area. The layout is great it gives you a lot of risk reward options and has a northern course feel. Conditions are pretty much always top notch a couple spots did have a little damage from the recent storm. Range is great you get a free bucket before your round. Facilities are great saw the cart girl multiple times on both sides. Round only took 4 hours and 10 minutes

Great course, beautiful in the fall, great fall golf and awesome way to wrap up the season!

Perfect golf experiences don't come around often but I'm 2 for 2 at Pilgrim's Run. The trees were changing color, leaves were taken care of, beer was cold, greens were in perfect shape for late fall in Michigan. The layout remains a great mix of holes where you can lay into a driver and even if you are spraying it still find it.
We played the white/blue mix tees and it was the perfect amount of drivers, vs. long irons due to unsure doglegs or trouble.
This course has won so many awards from top course to most friendly and even in a late fall Thursday afternoon you can see why.
Pro tip, take selfies on tee boxes number 2 and 16 and then make sure you leave 1 more beer for when you are done with 18 you have to sit in the adirondack chairs and watch the 18th hole. We didn't have many golfers to watch so the sun setting behind the fall foliage had to be enough for us.
Not sure how many times I said perfect in this review, but perfect, perfect, perfect.

This is by far my favorite golf course to play in the Grand Rapids area. Its not uncommon to see out of state license plates in the parking lot, so it tells you the quality and the affordability to play this golf course. It has an Up North feel because it is carved out of a wooded area. With a mix of elevation changes from certain holes on the front 9 as well as the back. With a challenging finishing hole for the big hitters. A drive able par 4 over a pond elevated green bunker protected, a risk reward hole to finish your round. They have an Outstanding practice facilities. I think this course could host a major tournament of sort.

We usually play Pilgrams run a couple times a year. This September the course was probably in the worse condition we’ve ever seen but was still a nice round. Definitely not worth the money this time but we’ll be back again next season.

Awesome job by the staff allowing us to start earlier than scheduled in order to beat an upcoming rainstorm. Saw lightning in the distance just as we were leaving the 18th green. Much appreciated

Pilgrims Run is an outstanding course, in the condition it's keep and the layout. Challenging but fair and no gimmicks. Cut into the woods it's scenic and peaceful. Dylan at the pro shop, and Ron as the starter are great. Dylan provided welcoming and professional service and Ron provided friendly and knowledgeable advice about the course. It's a bargain and a course that should be on anyone's list.

The reviews are a broken record and for good reason, this place was absolutely awesome. Never in a million years would I have guessed a course this beautiful and in this good of condition could be located in such an isolated place. The greens were perfect, probably 10.5-11 on the stimp and smooth as can be. Great collection of holes going thru the Michigan hills. As everyone has stated previously this is a definite must play if your anywhere near Grand Rapids

Course is great . 5 1/2 hour round is ridiculous.

Beautiful course in excellent conditions. But if you put a foursome out every 10 minutes, any course becomes congested like an LA freeway. After two holes finished in 1 hour, we quit. Golf shop was very nice and refunded our greens fees.

This is a fine golf course. Beautiful layout, challenging greens and fine condition. The staff was friendly and accommodating. A definite must play for those seeking a quality golf experience at a reasonable price.

Great layout, challenging but fair. The course is superbly maintained. The only negative I could see is that the tee boxes are pretty worn, but that was very minor. Always a treat to play here.

The course and staff were great. A variety of tees was nice, and having a combo set of tees for women was greatly appreciated. The only item that could be improved upon is the lunch options. Hot dog, brat or wrap isn’t enough after a round. So we had to go elsewhere for a burger. Highly recommend this course!

This course can content with some of the top public courses in the golf Mecca of Michigan. Absolute gem of a layout and premium conditioning. This course is proof you don’t have to charge a ridiculous rate to have country club conditions. Impressed from pulling into the gate till walking off the 18 green Mike DeVries is quickly climbing my list of favorite golf course architects

We are weekend golfers and often play as a twosome. On a beautiful Saturday afternoon we don't expect to fly around the course but we also don't expect 5 1/2 hour rounds either. I rather be paired with another twosome than spend the day waiting. There were three groups waiting on every hole on Saturday and many golfers bailed.

I had read the reviews and found it hard to believe that a course 30 miles outside Grand Rapids could be so highly rated. Even at 4.8 stars the ratings don't do this course justice. The course was immaculate, the people friendly and helpful, and the pace was fantastic. This course will be on my list of things to do every time I come in or near the Grand Rapids area.

I didn't play the course on July 12th but I had a lesson with the pro Jeffrey O'Malley at Pilgrams Run. He is a great instructor and helped me immensely with my swing and chipping. If you need a lesson I would definitely recommend Mr. O'Malley! I drove 145 miles from Flint to see him and it was definitely worth it!
I have played Pilgrams Run twice and it is a beautiful course and worth playing. It has a nice range and the staff were very nice to me.
I would recommend playing here and taking a lesson from Jeffrey O'Malley!

Always a pleasure to play here, !st.class public course.
