Had a real nice day!

Got a good tee time this day for 930. The course had ben aerated this week, so it wasn't in prime condition. Some greens more sandy than other, but still had some speed to them, some unlucky hops here and there.

Got paired up with another single and twosome, nice guys, I had fun.

Aereation

MOW is a fantastic county golf complex with 2 distinctly different layouts West & East- Golf Now nor the course notified our group that they were doing, fairway, tee box and greens aeration that morning. Greens were acceptable except a few, that the sand hadn't been dragged off of , fairways were almost unplayable due to the dirt punches, rollovers needed. It was an enjoyable round even with the aeration conditions. Always a challenging layout and pace of play was good because we were probably the first group out after the maintainance.

Mercer Oaks West is the best value course in NJ. The patrons respect the course and replace their divots. The staff is helpful and accommodating. The course is challenging and well layed-out. It is a hidden gem of NJ . .

Decent Course

The round was inexpensive and the fairways were ok, greens were slow and had many imperfections, mostly from people not fixing ball marks. a little it of an investment the course could be a real gem.

Well maintained, old style course, slow green

Played both east and west, quite different style. West has more tree and narrow fairway which bring more fun for stratage. Walkable and beginner friendly for both male and female players.

Another great option!

I recently played the east course. The west is the same yet different. Still a great value with good conditions given the summer heat. A more traditional layout with plenty of room for errant shots. I am a big fan and will be back!

Mercer Oaks-West

Excellent course, the greens and fairways are in excellent shape. The starters are incredibly helpful and welcoming. The grounds crew and patrons do a good job of keeping the course free of litter and replacing divots on the greens. The rate of play is well maintained by the ranger and fellow golfers keep a good pace. My concern is that this course like many do not provide drinkable water for golfers. In the summer months, drinkable water is an issue. I hope that courses including Mercer Oaks reevaluate this policy.

West course in great shape

The greens on the West Course are in great shape, fast and true. Overall conditions, tee boxes and fairways, were very good as well. All the staff members we came in contact with were friendly and accommodating. As a threesome, all shooting in the low 90’s we played our round in 3 hours and 20 minutes. Looking forward to our next round at Mercer Oaks!

My new favorite course

I loved everything about this course. I walked 18 and enjoyed every second of the day. And the round only took 4 hours walking. Great pace of play.
