A wide open and long course with enough sand trapsi to show off the smartness of our shot directions. It 'a like an eighteen years old

Personally I like to play at the west Mercer Oak more often than the east Mercer Oak. I am a bogie player and my drive shot averages 175! The east course however makes me miss to play a round time to time, and makes me wonder why. The course surely opens my heart and mind for its wide openness for me to breath out every stresse if there were. Though there are enough interesting layouts of sand traps on the way to the green for us to show off our smart execution for our shot decision. A good course to visit time to time! A very generous course!

windy and cool but still fun

My expectations were meet on this chilly windy January afternoon. A member twosome were kind enough to let us join them as there were only foursomes in front of us. The course played very well for this time of year and i look forward to playing again when the weather improves.

Slower than molasses

Nice course, good layout, good conditions. But don't go there if you have less than 6 hours. Waited on every shot. Ranger came out to tell us we had to quit after 15 holes because of darkness. First time we had seen him since the first tee. He obviously wasn't out there getting anybody in front of us to speed up.

Thank you for the feedback, Brad. Unfortunately, we were one Ranger short this weekend due to illness. We understand how frustrating slow play can be and we appreciate your patience. We hope you'll play us again in the near future when we can better keep up with standard pace of play.

Poor Pace of Play

This was my second time at this course. I had a 2:20pm tee time I was unable to finish the last 2 holes due to pace of play. There was no ranger to be found to control the pace of play. The only time they came out was to let us know we couldn't finish 17,18 because he wanted to go home. Reason was that we had to bring the carts in but in reality we could have easily finished this course if they managed it better. Too many walkers and 4 somes at this course, be prepared.

Potential...but poor course conditions

Everything about this course has potential. Layout, staff, greens. Actually, the green were still in some pretty decent shape considering that just about all of the grass in the fairways and rough was below average. I know this summer killed quite a few courses, but it was still pretty bad out there. Not really rewarded for hitting the fairway.

If you like hard pan fairways

I've seen cow pastures in better shape. By all rights this coarse should be closed for the season. It will take major work to get this back in shape.

Like its west sibling, this course offers a real escape

Having just played Mercer Oaks West, and being very impressed, we wanted to try the east course and see how it measured up. While the east course is not as scenic or quite as challenging, it nevertheless is a pretty course, open and unblemished by perimeter houses. Unlike many public courses, tee times matter and the friendly starter/ranger was diligent in providing spacing among golfers to facilitate a nice pace of play. Both courses offer enjoyable golfing experiences at very fair prices.

Surprising

Having played this course quite a few times but not in while, I was surprised at the poor condition (relative to its usual condition) of the course this time. Greens were recently aerated (why no mention of this on Golf Now? no discount offered), tee boxes were poor in some areas and even the fairways were a bit beaten up on many holes. Understanding that the weather has made maintaining good course conditions challenging, Mercer Oaks usually does a better job of dealing with this.

Thank you for the feedback. We do apologize for the miscommunication about our aeration dates. The heat does make maintaining perfect conditions a challenge but we expect them to improve greatly as the heat abates. We hope you'll come and play here again soon!

Nice

Mercer Oaks East is an open style course compared to the West course. Lots of bunkers, both fairway and green side. Nice layout. Longer than most courses from the white tees. Will play again.

Course to play

I have previously played here and enjoyed the course. The fairways have taken a beating with the heat, that effects most area courses, but other than that, Mercer Oaks is a place to play.

It was my first time playing there.. I've played Mountain view a couple of times, but thought to give this course a try. No regrets! It's in beautiful shape!!! Highly recomend this track! End up shooting a 73 from the blues, so I'm a happy camper, lol!
