Not pleased but will return

There was not a heads up re recent aeration.

Greens were slow and bumpy and too many fairways were littered with the effects of aeration,

A ball in the fairway was either in a rut or surrounded by the dirt debris,

Very unpleasant,

It was my first time playing West this year, knowing the course I expected more.

Greens were aerated and were literal sand traps. I was not informed of this before teeing off by anyone. For the amount of money for a premium tee time you would think they would at-least tell you or give you some sort of reimbursement.

Course in good condition..haven’t played here in about 3years and unfortunately noticed that many trees were lost..such as no 2, which made the holes less interesting.

Relatively flat course but not an easy walk since there’s quite a bit of distance between some of the holes..ball washer don’t have any water.

Mercer Oaks West

Cours was in nice shape, staff were very friendly and helpful, but pace o play was a challenge. Walked off course after hole 11 to avoid getting aggravated.

Great course go early

Amazing course that I drove one hour and thirty minutes to get to. When we were teeing off the starter said the carts had to be in by 7:24. For context sunset was 7:30 and we went off at 3:30. Stater did say that if we made it to the 18th hole by 7:24 he wouldn’t chase us and that we could finish. We did get to the tee box right at 7:24 but unfortunately the staff did not communicate and another member of the staff came out to hassle us. My playing partner who I had never met had an amazing drive and after the encounter he tanked the rest of the hole. If you pay 50$ to play at 3:30 just have a little grace and let people finish. Golf is expensive and rather than stress out the golfers with drama just pay the staff an extra 30 minutes it shouldn’t be that big a deal. Drama is not good for golf. Great course staff needs lessons on how to interact with customers

It was good for the deal

I got a GolfNow Hot Deal for half price. The course was good for that. They had recently done some work, so some sections of fairway were aerated and full of plugs and holes. The front nine greens were slow and the back nine greens were fast because of the same aeration issue. Aside from that, the course was fine. I'd recommend to a friend, but probably not at full price.

Aerated greens

Very wet conditions the morning after a rain storm and aerated greens were a challenge but not a hinderance.

Super friendly and helpful staff.

Great course

Course for the most part was in great condition; there were a few dry spots on some of the greens and there is some areas where they are doing work on the course. Aside from that it was a nice layout that is scorable with some challenging shots so appeals to a wide range of golfers. Staff was friendly everywhere and ranger helped keep pace of play from slipping.

Nice track 4 hour Sunday round

Course was in excellent condition, greens were consistent if a little slow. First time playing there, difficult to reach the course but worth the effort.

As per other reviews, nice folks who work there. All around terrific experience.
