Great course
Rained all day yet the course was not covered in puddles. I appreciated it being in good condition and never being stopped once the entire day
Terrible conditions
Course was like playing off of concrete. Many patches of solid dirt ground, even on fairways. Greens were in awful shape and I think the primary grass of the course must have been generic crab grass. Shockingly bad. I’m surprised anyone would play it a second time.
A mess
Courses should lower the rates when they aerate the greens and fairways ( and leave the plugs on the fairways)
Do not play this course. It’s a mess .
Golf course under aeration
The course is very convenient from the parking lot. Staff were very friendly. Both in the office and at the starting point. The front nine was in good shape the back nine was under aeration. The fairways were just plugged so you have to basically stay along the rough. Hopefully in the next few weeks as the seed takes. The conditions of the course will improve.
Enjoyed paring up with other players. Weather was very nice. Will definitely play agin in the next few weeks.
Know before you go
Make sure you call if there's been significant rain within The last week, as they close holes 13-17 on the other side of the canal. They don't notify you until you arrive, and only discount you the cart fee to a 9 hole rate. No refund on the greens fee.
Course itself, was poor to ok, fairways have a lot of crabgrass, bunkers were hard packed (probably not touched since the rain on previous Thursday evening) greens were ok, a little beat up from people not fixing pitch marks. It's an old Muni that needs some help. Staff was super nice and friendly!
Pull carts
Do not rent a pull/push cart, even if they say they have some that are functional. Every single push cart is broken. Other than that everything was in decent shape and staff was friendly.
Princeton Country Club
The course conditions were horrible, goose droppings everywhere, no sand in the bunkers, the rough was either not mowed or over mowed, many areas in the fairway were either wet or no grass. There were several groups whose pace of play was extremely slow. To call this course a country club is a misnomer. The person who was checking people in was totally incompetent and it took 10 minutes just to check in. I have played here many times in the past and was shocked on how bad this course has become
Crabgrass everywhere
Fairways and tees are worst I have seen in a long time...crabgrass and barren spots everywhere...greens were pretty good though which made it playable...staff is very nice
Disappointing
I’ve always enjoyed Princeton, but was really disappointed in conditions. From tee to greens it was as bad as I have seen it. It needs some serious TLC. Mosquitoes were also out of control, I was eaten alive on the back 9. There’s also just people jumping around, playing whatever holes in the order they feel like. Pace of play was a problem. Overall, I hope they can get it back to being playable, for now it is not.
Holes 13 to 17 need professional drainage work
The front nine was a pleasure to play.
Mercer County needs to redesign the back nine and hirer a drainage consultant,
Never go back there
I booked this course because it was advertised as a “Hot Deal,” but after booking, I found out it was a walking rate and I had to pay an additional $20 cart fee, so it really wasn’t much of a deal after all.
Parking was another issue. There wasn’t enough parking available, so I had to park along the side of the road.
The worst part, however, was the course condition. I understand that it had rained the day before, but the conditions were far beyond what could reasonably be blamed on one day of rain. There was so much standing water on the course that we literally had to walk through water in many areas.
The fairways were full of weeds, the greens were in terrible condition, and even the tee boxes were covered with weeds. Overall, the course was extremely poorly maintained and the experience was very disappointing.
Unfortunately, this is a golf course I have no desire to play again.
Not worth it to.play
This was my first time playing at this golf course, and I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the overall condition of the course.
It had rained the day before, but since the weather was hot the following day, I didn’t expect to see so much standing water throughout the course. There were many areas with poor drainage, patches with little or no grass, and in some places, it honestly seemed like there were more weeds than actual grass.
What made it even more disappointing was the price. The green fee was already quite expensive considering the condition of the course, and then they charged an additional $20 per person for the cart.
For the amount they charge, I expected a much better maintained course. Unfortunately, it was definitely not worth the price, and I would not come back.
Not worth the money
I usually do not reviews of the courses I play. I usually play courses through golfnow. They advertise the price which I didn't realize was walking only for about 30 bucks and then charge me $20 for a cart. At least I did not have to share the cart. The first nine holes were decent enough and played very well. The last nine holes I should have brought some snorkeling or scuba dive material because most of the fairways and rough were underwater. It had rained the night before and was intermittently raining lightly the time of play but appeared to be more of a swampy pond on the last nine holes. Also there was so much geese poop that I thought it was guano farm! Also it smelled like a cesspool. The last contention point was the person at the pro shop was very rude. This course was one and done it's not worth the money or my time to play there!
need to fix some things
greens are not in the best shape and some of the fairways are just dirt in some areas
Excellent overall conditions
Nice course in great shape. All greens were in great shape. Fairways excellent despite heavy rain the day before. Starter was friendly. Pace was quick. Ranger was roaming to keep everyone moving. Putting green was filled with kids from day camp but they were respectful Greens are nice size. Fairways were cut and green. Tee boxes in good shape. Gas carts work well ($20 per person is steep!)
Meh
Conditions are not so good. Geese poop everywhere and mosquitos will eat you alive.
Interesting staff
Beautiful course, but I learned the cart path isn’t just a suggestion—it’s apparently a lifestyle. Drift one inch off it and you’ll hear a voice from somewhere across the property reminding you of your life choices. I’m pretty sure the marshal has eagle vision and a sixth sense for rogue golf carts.
Course was in great shape though, and at least now I know my cart can hug a path with PGA Tour accuracy.
