Pleasant Staff

Went on a hot deal to Bent Pine. The manager was very pleasant and allowed us to start on hole #4 because of league play. She was very accommodating for us and we had no problems with pace of play. The course is in fair condition with some greens needing some additional care. I’d go go back for sure!

Mosquito, Mosquitoes, Mosquitos,

Had to leave after 9 holes...the course is unplayable with literally massive swarms of mosquitos. The staff person in the club house was unfriendly as well I won’t go back for a long while.

Very Busy

So so course that’s not real interesting. Very busy with the pace of play pretty slow for an Executive style course. Greens were actually in pretty good shape. The course weaves through a subdivision which requires you to cross a heavily traveled road...oh my.

Excellent Shape

Moss Ridge is in the best shape I have ever seen. We had an early tee time and finished the round in 2 hours and 45 minutes....excellent! Greens and fairways were plush. Staff is always friendly. This is our go to course for sure.

Wonderful!

Played with a foursome on one of the rare days it didn’t rain in West Michigan! Course is in great condition despite the excessive rainfall. Rate of play was pretty good for a Friday and we timed our round perfectly with rain beginning on the 18th hole. This is my go to course with very good rates. Probably the best course in West Michigan for rates in the $20 - $25 range, Check it out!

Course has a Big Problem with GolfNow

Manager stated he will no longer honor reservations made thru GolfNow/GolfPass. He tried to charge me again even though I prepaid with GolfPass. I refused to pay and he still let me and my partner pay. Manager states the course has been mistreated by GolfNow and will not honor reservations made thru GolfPass. Golfers beware! I showed the manager that his course is still be advertising on GolfNow...he didn’t care....big problems brewing at Colonial.

My “Go To” Course

Moss Ridge was in very good condition except for some broken sprinkler heads that were dumping a lot of water in a couple spots. This will be fixed in short order since they have an excellent course manager that has improved the course a great deal the last few years. Ground crews are busy hauling gravel to low spots on cart paths...so they are always improving the course. Moss Ridge can’t be beat for value when golfing in West Michigan especially with GolfNow deals. I also look forward to the Senior Scrambles they host every few weeks. For a good price you get a served breakfast, 18 holes/cart and lunch afterwards along with a few prizes. You can’t beat these deals! Overall, I was impressed on everything given how rough our winter has been. I highly recommend Moss Ridge!

Tricky Greens

Nice layout with the fastest greens I’ve played on all year. You can’t beat the dollar day specials on Fridays if you want a golf bargain. Join their web site and get some excellent last minute deals like a round with cart for $15! I’d play here more often if I lived close. Combine your round with a great burger or breasted chicken at the Brown Bear in town (Shelby) afterwards and you’ve had a great day!

Nice Course Layout

Nice course and layout, but the traps need a lot of work. Seemed like only an inch of sand and then hard pan clay underneath. Course has a grill and the staff was very friendly.

Excellent Course, Excellent Staff Friendliness

If you want to golf a course in excellent condition and staff friendliness beyond compare...Diamond Springs is for you! Did a round midday and just had a great experience.... Jim H. behind the counter is so friendly and accommodating....course was in impeccable shape and play for 18 was about 3.5 hours. The last few holes are the toughest....avoid the bunkers at all costs...and then there are the Ravines! Anyway, we enjoyed the round and recommend this course to all level of players!

Always a Pleasure

Great layout and extremely friendly staff. Greens were slow, so I assume they weren’t mowed due to recent rains. Love to play this course and visit the Brown Bear in Shelby for the best burgers and broasted chicken in West Michigan!

One of the best

Excellent course and great amenities at Pilgrims Run.....just classy all the way around. I highly recommend playing here...a bit pricey, but worth it. Course conditions are impeccable. You get a bucket of balls with your green fees, so come early and warm up if you can. They do it right at Pilgrims Run!

Just Beautiful Conditions

This course is always kept in pristine condition. Many greens have false fronts and can be deceiving, but the greens roll true. Sand traps are well defined.i highly recommend this course.

My GO to Course

Always fun to play Moss Ridge....this early in the spring was a hoot. Nice layout.....course has made big improvements the last few years with their new manager. The course has beautiful clubhouse for events and there is almost always some kind of a promotion like lunch and a round or senior specials...check it out!

Nice layout, but terrible shape.

The front 9 was in terrible shape with chopped up greens, rough fairways and awful tee boxes. The second nine was in much better shape and pretty views of Lake Travis....could be a nice course with some TLC....ok for a practice round.
