Pilgrims Run Golf Club

Pilgrims Run, carved into the rolling landscape north of Grand Rapids, presents a stern but fair test, reflective of a Midwest golfing ethos.

The layout is marked by significant elevation changes, rewarding thoughtful club selection and precise approaches into receptive greens. Though it’s not a fixture on any professional circuit, Pilgrims Run enjoys a strong local following. Members here value the course's playability, challenging layout, and scenic beauty. Pilgrims Run has a rich history and devout following of loyal members. The club hosts numerous member events, but is know to have some of the best amateur players, which brings forth competitive matches and fun social gatherings.
