Nice pace !

We played in the afternoon, as a threesome, and the group in front of us didn’t show, so the starter sent us off and we played in 3:15 - we passed a walking threesome on the front 9 and got held up by a foursome on 17 & 18. Great day ! Only issue was the greens were a little slow - played here before and never this slow ? Will be back to play the West course ASAP !

Quality course

First time playing East this year. The course was in excellent shape except for a free bunkers which had too many peoples and rocks.

The bunker to the right of the fairway was awful, for example.

Pace of play was so-so.

We had a three some, and were behind a walking 4 some.

We had to wait on the par 3 8th, and from there to the end of the round we had to wait quite a bit.

Tough course

Links style with interesting bunkering on some holes. Subtle elevation changes and easy walk. No shade until last 3 holes.

Nice Day

Not too many courses where one can get a tee time for a single, and it was early in the day. Although hot and humid, the wind kept if comfortable. Got joined up with a real nice threesome, and we had a nice day. Course in very good shape, and the bald eagle flying around the 17th was a bonus!

Trouble at Mercer?

Have played many times at Mercer Oaks East. However, the last few times out it has been in pretty rough shape. The tee boxes are long, the fairways uncut with 6 in high weeds in spots, the rough is uncut and full of clover weed, while the greens are slow and not rolling true at all. The bunkers are in need of weeding and are never raked. The course is easily $10 overpriced for it's current condition. Hopefully the conditions are addressed soon.

Great course - sub par conditions

Mercer Oaks East is typically in great shape however right now the fairways and greens are below their standard.

It feels like they’re protecting the course. Fairways need to be cut, rough needs to be evened out and greens need to be mowed and rolled. Possibly related to staffing issues during Covid?

Fire up the mowers and rollers and it’ll be back to the top notch track it typically is.

Poopy

Course was in good condition considering it’s Feb.. but there were bird, geese poop everywhere especially on the greens. East course was closed for a while but at least they should have cleaned up the greens.
