Things continue to fall in place as we move closer to the Muskegon River Lodge’s opening on September 1, 2009. Capt. Tom and I took some time today to meet with Jeff O’Malley, Club Pro for Pilgrim’s Run Golf Course located just down the road in Pierson. A number of you, our clients, have asked over the years for recomendations on courses to play either after your day on the river or on the days before or after. We are excited to announce that we have come to an agreement with Pilgrim’s Run to be able to offer our guests at the lodge a “stay and play” package at a discounted rate. Pilgrim’s Run is a premier golf course located only 15 minutes from the lodge. Tom and I had the opportunity to play the course today, congrats Tom on your 1 stroke victory, and can say without hesitation that it is a wonderful course and players of all skill levels will truly enjoy playing there.
