Getting old

I wish the course would try to do more about improving the pace of play. I don't expect three hour rounds on a busy Saturday but the five hour 45 minute round we suffered through was ridiculous. Didn't see a.single player assistant until the 17th hole and he was clueless. This is not a once in a while thing anymore. Because of this they have slipped out of my number 1 choice of places to play. It's a shame.

Worth the Trip

Best course I've played all year, especially for the value. Free range balls with the cart, starter to keep things moving, ok pace of play @4:20. Great shape, not tricked up, excellent visual lines to landing areas, tough greens but fair, rough is not too penal....very enjoyable.

Wife Loved the course

My wife is playing more golf these days and so I treated her to a round at Pilgrims Run today. She loved it and is looking forward to playing it again.
We are in our 70s and retired and everything was great. Tees, fairways and greens were in great shape especially considering that there had been almost constant rain in the prior days.

Just a Classy Course

This course is very secluded. Greens and fairways are in excellent condition. Bunkers abound with some of them being very deep. Green fee includes a bucket of balls to use on the range so come early. Best course within 75 miles and definitely worth the drive.

Great course, poor etiquette

Great rate, great layout, good condition (greens a little bumpy). Pace of play was ok, waited on just about every hole, but made it through nine in just over two hours. The main problem was the group behind us was very loud. They pulled up to our tee box on the first hole and continued to have a full volume discussion during all of our drives. This continued through out the round and affected at least eight to ten shots including approach shots when they were so loud from the tee box it was disturbing from 200 yards away. Yeah I let it get in my head. To me the quality of course deserves a better experience. I’m not sure if this is pc anymore, but it seemed a little red neck out there. Northern Michigan has so many great options. I’ll bypass this one next time.

Very Slow Pace of play

This was my first time playing Pilgrims Run. My tee time started at 1:50 but teed off at 1:40. Our round didn;t end until 6:50!!!!!!! That is an unbelievably slow place. Thye had workers cart around the course and didn't notice a 6-some in front of us or bother to tell them to split up. I am very disappointed that this round took up most all of my day, as I was scheduled to play just by myself. Vyer aggrevating.

A few suggestions

Always enjoy playing the course, but a few suggestions for improvement:
- Pace of Play: This is often an issue. Have rangers work way backwards from 18 to identify groups not keeping pace. Be diplomatic but persistent in moving folks along. Manage time lost at 10 when folks disappear into clubhouse. Also do not allow golfers to start on 10 when a slight gap occurs - have seen this happen.
- 18th hole: In concept, an interesting hole, but it is always extremely wet in fairway. Somehow drainage could be improved. Also, the dramatic slope to a not-deep green with trap in back results in many balls rolling back down hill. The wet turf makes for a lot of fat chips and pitches. Maybe the green complex needs to be reconsidered as well.

Love this course!

I live in GR but the drive is totally worth it. This course never disappoints, it's always in great shape and ready to play. It's a fun/challenging course with a few risk/reward holes. I like the blue/white tee combination as well.
