West course at Mercer Oaks is well maintained and groups well spaced. The course is difficult but not ridiculous. Just enough water to intimidate occasionally and traps that are well placed to catch slightly errant approach shots.

Good test every time I play it

Great course but…

I love the lay out of this course. It’s in great shape and is walkable- pretty flat but some distance between holes. The only negative was the greens. They were ungodly slow. I’ve played this course a few times and have never seen them that long. Very disappointed considering I have to drive an hour to get there. I’ll chalk it up as a one off but, it costs me 6 strokes easily.

Tough decision

Mercer Oaks is always a pleasure to play, with each course well run, well maintained, and well designed. Our day at the west course was no exception. The hardest decision one must make when booking is whether to play east or west - a nice dilemma to face!

Aerated greens and soggy turf tee to green

I loved the layout, especially the challenge on driving. Unfortunately, the course was very soggy from recent rains and the greens were recently aerated (though there's no notice of that on their website). If you're playing in mid April 2022, call the pro shop for conditions before booking. I look forward to playing again in mid-summer conditions.

They have a calendar on their website with the aeration schedule. It's under the tab "Calendar"

Brutally slow

4 groups backed up by hole 7. Never seen 4 groups on a hole before. No Marshall checking/enforcing pace. Insanely slow. Almost 30 minutes per hole.

After a 2.5 hour 9 holes I called it a day and went home.

A shame because the layout and conditions were pretty good.

This course is definitely worth it!!!

I absolutely loved this course. Even when it was freezing outside, that didn’t stop me from enjoying this beautiful links style course. The fairways were sized for the beginner type golfer but offered a challenge for the experienced golfer as well. The greens definitely challenged every putt. The bunkers were beautifully kept and the sand was very soft punishing any errant shots. I’d play this course every day!!!
