Grand Rapids
Our group of 12 guys recently wrapped up an incredible two-day golf getaway in West Michigan, and I can confidently say it was one of the best group trips we’ve put together. From the initial planning to the final putt on the 18th green, everything about this experience was top notch and smooth. We kicked off the trip at The Mines in Grand Rapids. The course is a challenging, rolling test of golf that keeps you engaged from start to finish. It’s a fun, quirky layout with plenty of elevation changes that require you to really think your way around the course. The "up north" feel while being just minutes from downtown Grand Rapids made for a great first day. On the second day, we headed out to Pilgrim’s Run in Pierson. This course is a heavy hitter and one that our group considers a absolute top-10 destination in the state of Michigan. Everything from the pristine bent grass fairways to the distinctive, undulating green complexes is first-class. It made for a very memorable experience for everyone in our group. Organizing a trip for 12 guys can be a logistical challenge, but the experience with Grand Rapids Golf Society made everything very easy and simple.
