Wasps are a big problem
We played from the white tees but had to tee off from the red tee on 16 because the wasps were all over the tee box. We watched them go in and out of the ground. I have no idea what type of wasps they were or even if they are wasps. Some of the tee boxes were not in great shape. The greens were VERY slow. The course has a lot of potential and we will be back but I’m not sure if it will be this year since both Mercer Oaks and Mountain View are in better shape.
Course has promise - needs time for maintenance
Playing partner at Mercer Oaks said Hopewell was in decent shape - it is not (yet). Greens are in ok shape, just slow and inconsistent pace. Very odd that there is no fringe around the greens. Fairways have many thick patches and bald spots. The rough is really thick in some places, almost too long for the type of grass (very punishing). Worst tee boxes I’ve ever seen (bumpy, holes, missing grass). Could not hit off of 3 boxes due to swarming hornets (literally teed up my driver in the rough). And on 2 or 3 other holes, they had the red and gold tees set-up in the rough (not on a box). Layout is nice and walkable. Also, the range is not open yet. In maybe 2 years I would try it again once the County has some time. The course has promise.

Old Country Club course purchased by Mercer County. Definitely worth checking out.
Nice Surprise
Nice course, interesting layout. Read comments about long rough but it wasn’t as bad as expected. I was able to find balls no problem but it still makes for a shot you have to think about. Can’t wait to play it again.
Great Course
This is a gem with a beautiful but sometimes challenging layout - was in great shape as well
Nice addition to Mercer County Golf
Hopewell Valley is a former private country club with a very nice classic style track that has the potential to be a real gem for public players now that Mercer county golf has taken over. The club has swimming, golf,tennis, pickleball, ect. Nice old style farmhouse clubhouse and dining. The county has started to bring this course back up to standards but annoyingly don't have the staff and the rough is us open deep, you actually cannot find your ball 3 feet off the fairway. Greens were slow and bumpy as where fairways but they did have plenty of grass. As for pace of play, it was Saturday and they packed them on, 10 minute waits on tee box almost every hole. A little better course conditions and weekday play volume and this course moves up 1 or 2 stars. Here's hoping the county gets it right.
Decent course but wouldn’t play after work
Tee’d off after work and was told to have the cart in by 8:00. This was understood to have it in before 8, however the ranger and other workers all drove out in the middle of us playing at 7:20, 7:30, and 7:40 and interrupted the entire last hour. Other than that the course was a work in progress and great value, however if you plan to play until sunset would highly recommend walking and not using a cart at all.

Promising
Greens were slow and bumpy and rough was a little high.
There was no second cut along the fairways or around the greens.
Pretty course - with possibilities.
Tee boxes need work - difference between blue and gold (senior) were often way to close together.

Get the greens cut and rolling.
Could be a gem if the greens were even average.
So far, they aren’t.

A work in process
Interesting layout. Conditions mediocre currently, but they are putting money into the course. Hopefully Mercer County will bring conditions up to their other courses.

More than I thought it would be
Never played this course before I really didn’t know about it I guess Mercer county took it over and it is a great course really enjoyed it, and the people working there were so nice especially Keith I believe was the starter and also Spring the lady inside was outstanding friendly ,nice so professional ,play this course you’ll enjoy it r.Greens pretty good coming back from aeration fairways in very good shape Teebox is pretty good and they cut the rrough so you can find your ball if you hit it into it very good
Unnecessarily difficult to play
Many issues:
1) The hard-core sales pitch to buy a membership before playing the course for the 1st time
2) Cart path only on a 95 degree bone-dry day. Absolutely no reason for cart path only.
3) Extremely high and unplayable rough
4) Greens very slow; like putting through fog. Incredibly slow
The course could be very nice but the operators chose to make it almost unplayable. Not a fun day.
Don't waste your money. Play anywhere else

Cut the rough
Cut the rough and the tees- it’s like hitting tee shots out of the rough.

Course needs to be cut, greens, fairways and "US Open " rough !!

Thank you for playing Hopewell Valley Golf & Country Club. We hope to see you again soon.
Mow the grass, Please!!
Course is undergoing a lot of work which is understandable - only a minor inconvenience. The fairways were perfect and greens are in good shape. The BIG problem with this course is that as soon as you are off a fairway or a green the grass is absurdly high. If your ball goes just a few feet off the fairway, its probably lost. You will however find a lot of other balls in the rough from previous golfers who obviously gave up trying to find them. High grass around greens makes chipping very difficult.

A Tale of Nuances
Rough was rather longer and thicker than anticipated. Greens were also a bit lackluster. Course design spectacular however. Very good value!
