Nice course, but with this time of year the leaves become a factor. Greens were extremely slow, needed to be mowed. Overall, nice course, nice day, nice place to play.

Beautiful course along the D&R canal

After seeing the reviews from September, it's hard to believe that the conditions could have improved so much in a month.I found the course to be in nice condition, with the mature hardwoods showing spectacular displays of color. Lots of leaves on the ground, helps to use optic green balls.Greens were in great shape, and the fairways were good. Beautiful vistas on many holes, especially par 3 13 over the trestle bridge and the closing 18th hole. DR canal meanders through the course. Could see that the back 9 could be soggy after rain, Great course!

Poor Conditions

Played this course earlier in the year, and the condiitons we good. I was surprised the conditions we so poor considering the other county courses are kept in such good condition. Actually, I've played 12 other courses this year, and this was in the worst shape of any of them.

terrible condition

unfortunately the weather has taken its toll on the course...many of the fairways were dirt...no grass...greens were also very bumpy & chewed up...played in an outing here last year & the course was very nice...fairways are being aerated but should have been notified and would have played somewhere else...i'd stay away the rest of the season

Good place to use all of your clubs

Princeton CC is a shorter course but you must have good control of your tee shots to play well. Most holes have tree lined fairways and doglegs. A stray shot will put you in a punch out back to the fairway. Will use a lot of fairway metals and 6i-wedges. Been playing here since I started the game up over 40 years ago.

An experience to remember

The course was in great condition. The greens did not roll like they looked but after a few holes I caught on.

From the pro shop to the starter all were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the round immensely! I even had a couple of birdies.

Course nice...bar staff not

The PCC is a very nice course. It is a narrow course with plenty of blind greens. Overall the golf is nice but in order to have a truly great day of golf, it must include the bar area & that needs plenty of improvement. A smile or warm greeting as we are buying tons of drinks would be great.

Short but tight

Course is in much better condition than it used to be. One of the better maintained public courses, but all of the mercer county courses are well maintained.

This course is great practice for your shortgame. There are a lot of tight tee shots, and if you can drive 230+, you will be best served hitting irons off the tee most of the day.

It is so tight that you almost always see 2 other foursomes playing other holes at other times.

This course is a great value, and a good place to work out the kinks in your wedge play.

Very Nice Greens

First time playing at the course, and enjoyed it. The greens are relatively fast, and well-maintained. It is very short course, and you should be accurate on driving. Otherwise, it could be a long day...

Pleasantly surprised

Tad short, tends to take the driver out of your hands, but makes you hit well placed golf shots. Greens were fast, which I prefer. All greens seem to slope up, front to back, which favors a bump and run, if your not spinning the ball. Enjoyed my round. I'll be back.

Very good Value

The only thing that I could even think of complaining about were the bunkers and they were not even that bad. This course could sure use a little bit more sand in them but they are far from being horrible unlike the cheap courses that have no sand at all.

My co-workers and I took a half day for work and got a 2:10 tee time on Golfnow.com for a great price. The greens were very good (not many unfixed ball marks). The fairways were perfect. This was a well maintained course.

I would definitely go back if I was able to get the price on Golfnow again. Our pace of play was great. We only had a wait a few times (maybe twice) on the PAR 3s before teeing off. At the end of the day, we finished our round in 3H 50M.
