It's Not Good There

Only the front 9 holes were open, and it was path cart (only) all day. No notice on GolfNows, no course alert, no discount, grill was closed, no handies, not even a "we should not be ripping you off, my bad". So this is cagey. So cagey.

The second 9 holes took about 3-4 hours, which is mint, and the starter's response was "the bridge was out, stop complaining so much" so the back 9 was closed. When we finished the first 9 holes, there were about 30-40 carts waiting to tee off on Hole 1. That's nice. Of course, we saw their "members / insider guys" playing the back 9, throwing darts, finishing holes in 4-6 minutes, while we were falling asleep waiting 15 minutes before every shot. Cart paths had craters every 3 feet. It's not good there.

Aside from this, the course is mint.

Needs love

Every tee box is like teeing up in the rough. Everyone needs tilled and reseeded crab grass has taking them over along with a lot of fairways. Mercer county needs to do some maintenance

Such a shame

Over the last 3 years I’ve played PCC about 12 times. It’s affordable, challenging, well laid out, and was always well taken care of. But when I played yesterday for the first time this year I couldn’t believe what I saw. Each tee box was riddled with crab grass. Each fairway infested with bald spots. And then there was the greens - pebbles everywhere. Crab grass. Geese droppings. Ball marks galore. They clearly stopped caring about this course and it’s a shame. What once was my go-to course has now been permanently crssed off the list. PCC has become Old Orchard - a course with a tremendous layout that went to irreversible trash.

Beginner’s course

I play off five but my Son is 30+ and we wanted somewhere for him. Course is ok but it’s quite short, full of beginners with no etiquette for the game and not in great condition.

It was however very reasonably priced and the staff were all very welcoming and friendly. Overall a 3/5 course
