great value

I have played this course a half of dozen times. Well maintained and somewhat challenging, I usually play as two on the occasion of adding a third. I have yet to go out at my scheduled tee time due to heavy traffic on the course. Every time players have been added to my group whether they were walking or riding which for the most part does not bother me except for the skill level of the added player has often slowed the pace of play. That being said, I will continue to play this course, but perhaps at a later time in the day.

Very enjoyable round

Clubhouse staff was outstanding. Was playing as a single with a 8:10am tee time. The starter got me out with the first group. Played the round in three hours! Course was in nice shape. This place will be in my rotation from now on.

Great Day.

First time playing and really enjoyed the course. Not overly long but doglegs and small greens made it challenging. Greens rolled very fast. Played under 4 hours.

Terrific value

First time playing. Immediately impressed with the beauty of the setting just a stones throw from one of the busiest roads in NJ. Course was in good shape, except for a few greens that needed rolling. Leaves are always a problem at this time of year, but if you play within the next week or so, you will enjoy a relatively leaf-free fairways and a spectacular display of fall color.

nice place to play

always enjoy playing Princeton. Conditions are good. Most often we move quickly. Staff is good and friendly. Some quite challenging holes and you have to shape your shots to get into position.

Walked

waited on every shot

Course is in great shape but pace of play was not good. We waited for the group in front of us on every shot. They didn't seem to understand how to keep up with the group in front of them (more than one open hole) or to let my four ball group play through. I left after 9 holes and will be more mindful of the tee time i pick to play this course another time.

Fun Course to Play

This is a good course, best if your a Mercer card member or get a good deal on GolfNow. I would say that as municipal courses go, it is on the better end. Course overall is in good shape, especially considering it had rained all morning. A few areas of standing water but for the most part very nice. Pace of play could have been faster, but we were behind a group of older gentlemen and given that it was cart path only due to the weather, it took them a while to get to their balls for each shot, still got out in about 4 hours.

Princeton Course...ok

The people/facility great...liked the tree lined holes...the fairways ok but really need re-seeding. We
expected Mountainview course fairways..not to be. Good course to work on your driving because of tree lined holes. enjoy...

Too tight for long hitters

Young strong hitters will not enjoy laying up on tree lined fairways and dog-legs. If they go straight then distances are short; only wedges left.

A really enjoyable round of golf

I played this course in the 1960's when it was a "private" facility. Now that Mercer County has taken it over it has been nicely renovated & improved to the point I could remember very few holes. I was paired up with 2 very friendly fellow golfers and had one of the most enjoyable rounds this year. Course is not long, except for a few holes, and in great condition especially since greens were aerated less than 2 weeks previously.
Keep the ball in play and you can record a good score. Trees line most fairways but usually leave and opening for recovery shots. Best value course I've played this year with the discount price.

Hot Day at Princeton

Although a short course ,there are lots of doglegs and greens well guarded with bunkers.Some of the holes have very narrow fairways. The greens were recently air-rated so, they weren't as smooth as usual. The near 90 degree high humidity day didn't help much. However,I played well on the back nine and won my match with my best buddy. The day and the course were very enjoyable.

Miserable Staff

The weather was not ideal (it was raining on and off, though not heavily) so I called about an hour prior to my tee time to make sure the course was open. The man who answered was very rude, at one point asking, "now why wouldn't we be open?" I live about 35 min from the course, and it took a little longer to get there because of the rain. When my group arrived, we were told we were too late and our tee time had been given away, even though I had called to confirm that they were open! We went to the starter after paying and he told us we could tee off if we did right away, and he rushed us through our first tee shots. This seemed unnecessary as the group in front of us was still in the fairway and within driving range of us (I ended up using my 4 iron instead, so I wouldn't hit them).
I am not sure if this is a course where there are mostly regulars who go there, but none of the other workers were friendly with my group either, as we received many dirty looks and short answers if we had a question.

The course itself was nice, and I would definitely return if it weren't for the miserable, nasty people who work there. With so many other nice courses in the area, you're definitely not missing out by skipping Princeton Country Club.

good value

A nice course, play from the back tees to get decent length, the white tees are too short. The back nine is a little wet in spots, but overall the course was in excellent condition
