Mercer Oaks Golf Course - East Course

Excellent condition n friendly staff

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Played on a sunday afternoon in a twosome.we got the round done in three hours and never caught a group.overall the course was in good shape and the greens rolled true.

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.

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.

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!

Good course

Challenging but fair

first time playing the east course. It was in good shape and a good value for the money I will play again.

First time playing the East course. Course was in great shape, greens rolled nice. Not much variety on the par 4's. Would probably play again. Little over-priced but overall a good experience.

I started playing the East course in the rain and immediately felt I was playing a special course. It's a links-like layout and the rain just added to the experience. I love the layout. It has very friendly landing areas for tee shots and then becomes more difficult with approaches to the green, but in general is a friendly course. A few of the greens have burnt out spots and the rough is inconsistent on quite a few holes, but I didn't mind. I actually felt it all contributed to the naturalness of the course.

I found this course exuded lots of character and drew me in with it's cohesiveness. Some courses you become tired of as you get through 14 holes, but I was invested in every shot on this course. Loved it.

Beautiful links course good challenge for the mid handicapped

First time playing the East course and was very impressed. Played from the blue tee's (6772 yds) and my drives are in the 240~260 range which gives you options of playing to ample landing areas or challenging the fairway bunkers for a shorter approach shot. The sand in the bunkers was very uniform and ample so after playing out of one or two you knew what to expect. There was a nice mix of some greens being well bunkered while on some of the longer holes there was no sand protecting them allowing you to roll up some long iron shots. Many of the greens have multiple tiers so it helps to play with someone who can advise about where to land your ball for an easier putt. While there is some water , it doesn't need to be brought into play as there is plenty of room to safely avoid getting wet. There are a few greens that are quite small so you need to have some altitude with your short irons to hold them.

Fairways and greens were in great shape despite several days of hot dry weather. I was hitting a nice draw that got me lots of extra yardage on the firm short grass. Rough around greens was very thick making for difficult chips if you miss. Greens were not particularly fast, I'm guessing 10~11, so it's likely they left them slightly furry to stand up better to the 94 degree heat. They did roll smoothly with decent amount of break which I could see being very tricky if they were cut shorter and rolled. Shot an 85 with a triple and two doubles , so next time I think I'll be able to avoid those blow up holes now that I have this first round out of the way.

Got a sweet deal of $35 with the cart off golf now so the value was excellent. Had a 2;30 tee time on a Thursday and had no one in front or behind us the entire round so played in a leisurely 4 hours (my partner was struggling so it could have been a lot quicker!)

I highly recommend it and will definitely come back.

The Mercer Oaks courses are both fantastic. The east course is Links style and a great layout challenging for all types of golfers!

First time playing here (east). Great conditions. Really nice facility. Will be back. Wanted to grab a bite after the round but kitchen was closed?? It was only 6:30 pm! Only complaint...otherwise awesome place compared to any course within 25 miles.

The weather forecast called for scattered thunderstorms so we had the course to ourselves.

The layout is nice and conditions were good except for the greens. The greens were much slower then usual.
