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.

Enjoyable round

East course was in incredible shape for this time of year. I think it's the first time I have played golf this year where the ball actually rolled after it hit the ground. Amazing job keeping it dry as possible.
