Mercer Oaks Golf Course - East Course

Who the h e double hockey sticks set up this course today????? The fairways were 3 inches thick no roll at all on drives . The greens were set up as if this was the Masters you couldn't hold the green under any circumstances. To make matters worse 16 0f 18 pins were set on the sides of slopes. You touch a putt and it rolled 25 feet past or back at you. I've never seen this course like this. I'm a 6 handicap and I barley broke 90 today. For the first time in a long Long time I didn't have fun on a golf course . It was like root canal. It was super slow out there also because of these conditions. We played behind 3 ketchup bottles it was brutal. If I wanted to play a tournament course I would do so. But if this floats your boat go for it. Bar was closed today.

Recently played this course for the first time.

Played it in the rain and wind on my first round and fell in love.

I've played it 5 times in the last 3 weeks.

Starters are so nice and are happy to talk about the course.

Playing it again this weekend.

I live in Monmouth county and enjoy some wonderful courses in the county. This course compares with the best of the Monmouth courses.

We love playing this course wide open links style course , except hole 17 which is tree lined ,always in good shape, greens are a little hard to read on some , breaks opposite of what they look , definitely look at putt from both sides of hole! Plays a club longer for me then yardage says , keep it in play ladies and gentlemen! Have fun!!

As always Mercer Oaks East provides a solid golf experience

Nice track, enjoyed the links layout. Pace of play was good at 750am on a Monday though didn’t see a ranger. Greens fairly quick. Would def play here again

Quite a lot of up and downs here, tilted fairway, challenging greens, strategic bunkers and water. Although, its wide open. The beauty is there are two course to choose from. I played the east, but wish I had played the west as I've heard it is even better in terms of condition and challenge. Greens were in great shape. Fairways were clean and well manicured. Stay out of the rough, they are tricky with thick fescue. If it weren't for the drive, I would frequent here often.

I love playing at Mercer Oaks on the weekend but I wish taking a cart would be mandatory on weekends to speed up play!!

The east course is really nice. Many interesting holes. Tee boxes , fairways and greens in excellent shape. It was blazing hot out today but cart girls and water every so often kept us well hydrated. Only problem today was the same problem at every course. Pace of play. And why do you never see a ranger on the course EVER!. Twosome in front of us. No idea about golf etiquette. Playing from white tees when they hit nothing but grounders and 100 yard drives. They should be playing. Red tees. How is this game fun when you can't hit a green until your 7 th shot? Please take up tennis. I can't stand as many others can't waiting 10 to 15 minutes a hole for crummy golfers who don't even try to play quickly. That being said I love this course and hope it's better next time.
