The Land of Rolling Hills

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.

HOT!!! Hot!!! Hot!!!

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.

Excellent Golf course

First time playing here. Very impressive driving up . Nice clubhouse. Very friendly staff top to bottom. I played the east course. Links style. It reminds me and compares favorably to the Monmouth county course Charleston springs north. From tee boxes thru and including greens excellent condition. You can score on this course. I shot 75 but my much younger and way longer playing partners were in the high eighties. Very interesting holes . Just a great golf day and very enjoyable on a fantastic county course. Will be back often

Fast Fairways, Slow Greens

Always a great round at Mercer Oaks, either East or West. We played East in 4 hours in a four-ball on a Sunday. Not too bad at all. Course was in great shape, despite the rain. The fairways received good drives very well, and good shots had a lot of run after carry. The greens received good shots well, too. Slower than they look! Fun round at one of the best muni complexes in the state of New Jersey.

Mercer Oaks East

Got a great deal on Golf Now, had some rain about an hour before our tee time, just some sprinkles when we did tee off. Course was wet, carts had 90 degree rule, the west course was cart path only. Paired up with a twosome, had a good day, and the sun came out in time for the back nine.

Nice course

Fescue was up today. Rough was just as tough. With all this rain lately on the East Coast nice time to play. Wind blew at 20+mph. Tough conditions. Greens rolled true today. Would recommend this course to any golfer. I will be back. Maybe next time play the West Course.
