Too much geese’s poops on many greens.

West is open after January closing. Too much geese poos on many greens. Very difficult to chip and put due to poops on all greens near ponds and lakes.

Pleasant surprise

A friend at the hotel recommended this course.. Played front 9 With 5 Goodwill clubs and shot a 44 with 2 Seven's on the card; Jarred My ball from the sand trap on number 7 for a birdie!

Everybody I met was very friendly and the course was in great condition considering the hot summer we've had. I'll be back!

Poor rain check management

On Tuesday, August 23 I bought and paid for 18 holes on the west course. After nine holes and making the turn I realize they had let two groups go off on the back nine severely holding up the pace of play, with impending rain coming in I decided to go back into the clubhouse and take a rain check the young kid behind the counter gave me a token and told me it was good for nine holes. On September 5 I went back to reclaim my nine holes with the token the young kid gave me and different very rude kid behind the counter told me that my token was a range token not a rain check token and denied me my rain check and nine holes which I was entitled to. I told him this is the token I was given for the rain check and he assured me no one that works there would have given me that token as a rain check basically accusing me of lying and trying to steal 9 holes.

The course condition is subpar at best...

Considered one of the best county courses in Mercer county, this couse is usually well maintained during the season. Clearly wasn't the case this past weekend and probably past month or so. I usually play maybe once a month at Mercer Oaks (last being the Independence Day weekend) and the couse condition was trash.

Greens were aerated a couple weeks ago, but that can not be the execuse for very very subpar green conditions as well as fairway and bunker conditions. Did all maintenance folks go on their summer vacation? Tee boxes, fairways, and GREENS need to be mowed! Two holes into the round I'm thinking let's just count two putts and move to the next hole as it was impossible to putt on the greens. Fairway bunkers are like dirt with weeds all over the place...

They really need to step up as Mercer county courses are falling way behind Somerset county courses and I don't see myself coming back to Mercer county courses rest of the year.

They just aerated the greens so it was awful to putt all day. Course was super dry as well. Definitely not worth $80
