Mercer oaks west

Hole 1 green was unplayable, rest of the greens on the coarse were very hairy. I guess they are letting them grow back after aeration done on 8/12. No warning when booking and charged full price. Disappointing that the coarse looked that bad, typically a nice track. Understaffed at the turn, couldn’t get a drink. Cart girls were around enough to make up for it. Overpriced for the conditions

Greens were aerated, bumpy and slow.

Get the greens into better condition.

Clean them up, cut them and roll them.

Course is fun layout. Very enjoyable course several challenging holes.

Greens had just been aerated were sandy and very hard to put on.

A few tee boxes were chewed up.

Overall a positive experience

Love these courses, but...

I have played both of these courses for many years. Love them both.

However, yesterday was a surprise. Aerified tees, greens and fairways. No notice when i booked that these were the conditions. Mercer must be the first course in the area aerifying. no one else is for several weeks. Some of the tee boxes were burned out, couldn't even get a tee in the ground.

I'm not sure if the lack of aerification notification was the fault of Golf Now or the course. Either way, a waste of money. Lesson learned, call the course first.
