Where’s the advisory?

I play this course a few times each year. It’s normally in great shape, however the greens were recently aerated and were so slow they were at times unputtable. There should have been an advisory notification.

Response from on 10/16/2018:
Thank you for providing helpful feedback! There were aeration icons on our website and GolfNow booking engines. We apologize if those weren't apparent enough.

1st time played-great pace of play management

It is a link style course. First time I have played there, I'm an 11 hcp. The thing I like the most was the pace of play management. Rangers are on the course making sure you are following the guided pace on the score card. The fairways and greens were in good shape despite the time of year and amount of play. Greens were, not slow and but not lightening fast. The layout was nice, course management is a must, lots of fairway bunkers.

I played the East course, I will play this West side next time. Also they have putting and chipping greens next to the 1st, nice while you wait for your tee time. They also have nice driving range, I don't like not having a range where I play. Hope this review helped out. Also looks like they have a nice bar as well.

Great as always

Played the East course. Was in great condition as always. The only negative was the grass driving range was mostly sand, hard to find a spot with grass to hit off of.

Good layout plays somewhat shorter than yardage. Bunkers can be challenging on short side of pin. Greens are consistent but slightly slow not too bad. Some tees need TLC but have seen way worse.

This is what a county course should provide.

The grounds and buildings are well maintained and the facility is an attractive place to play golf. There are two

18 hole courses, one traditional- the west and east, links style. Mercer County should be proud of providing its

residents such a fine facility. The fairways, tee boxes and greens are in great shape. At an earlier visit we noticed

the bunkers were not maintained and had stones and less than acceptable sand. Fortunately that

has now been remedied to compliment the level of care provided the rest of the grounds. A wonderful

golfing experience with challenging fairways and beautiful scenic vistas.

Mercer oak east

Rain in the forecast kept the course traffic light. I had to work through a down pour on hole 1 but everything cleared up after that. The course conditions were a little soft but fairways and greens were in super shape. The staff were friendly and helpful. A bonus to playing this course is the wildlife you can encounter. I saw some wild turkey and deer today. I recommend this course it is wide open and has a links feel.

Amazing

Such an amazing course! Hard to score but makes it challenging! Make sure you stay in the fairway if not you’ll be hitting three instead of two! Love the course playing west tomorrow!
