Mercer Oaks Golf Course - East Course

The facilities at Mercer Oaks appears new, the staff were not the most friendly, they don't try to hide it either. We were paired with two other players without prior notice, while the course was wide open. The rate we were able to get from golf now I supposed was their discounted rate, given the discounted conditions we experienced. Inconsistent speed of greens, they were not rolled or cut after a recent rain it appears. Overall the course has great potential for a semi challenging experience, however due to the overall condition of the course, the challenge was presented in the form of bad greens keeping. I will hesitant to recommend others for this course despite the stellar rating it has received among other top NJ courses.

Everything was good from the staff to the shape of the course. The only glitch was my tee time was 4:45 and included a cart but was told when I signed in that I had to turn the cart in at the turn and trade it for a pull cart. The gentlemen behind the counter was very apologetic for the inconvience, but it was no big deal. The shape of the course made up for it.

Played the West Course. Relatively flat track with thick rough. Greens were consistently slow (poa annua). White tees are appropriate for intermediate golfers; two additional sets of tees for longer hitters.

We had a rainy misty morning so the fairways and greens were not cut still I enjoyed the day and the course was in good shape.

Course was in an excellent conditions. form the back tees was a challenge.

It's ok nothing exciting about it, had some nice holes on west course, but really wasn't worth the trip, if u live within a half hour ride I guess it's good value for the money, but I wouldn't go out of my way to play here again, pace was very slow a lot of old-timers...,walking the course.

Great course and I was paired with a local resident who was so kind giving advice to avoid blid hazards.

The course was in good condition and great shape for the winter season. The wind was about 40 mph but still had a great time.

For the price I paid through golfnow, I wouldn't mind paying regular rates that's how much I enjoyed this course.

First off, Mercer Oaks is split into two sections. East course with its links style layout with only hole that had trees surrounding the short par 4. Other than that, it's challenging with its risk and reward situations and it's undulating fairways littered with bunkers. The West course I read was the traditional layout with lots of memorable holes. Today I played the East course.

From my experience playing a local links course near me. One thing distinct is their tall fescue. Somebody must've went weed wackier crazy because not one hole has any. It's either their way to prepare for the winter, but I would've liked to see what this course was all about. Other than that, this made it much easier to find my ball so no complaints their.

Due to rain from the night before, the course was is very wet condition that made it difficult to get your footing on the ground for a shot. So slipping was common. Greens were in excellent shape with little or no pitch marks. Also, the ball rolled true on their greens with the rain. Tee boxes were also even and for a minute I thought I was playing in a country club.

I would definitely play this course again, but this time will play the West course. Also, I think I found my go to course if the price is right.

Excellent very scenic golf course which I like personally. Not too difficult but very enjoyable. Only played nine holes cause of a back issue. Drove the cart around the back nine to have a look and I really liked what I saw

Beautiful course. Can't wait to play it again. Perfectly green and smooth, and they do a great job of clearing the leaves in the fall.

beautiful links course.. a real gem, well maintained.

The course is in excellent condition. Great price on Golfnow without a county membership.

Course was in great shape. Well maintained course with interesting holes. Only drawback was the ranger who kept asking us to pick up the pace even though the group behind was trailing us by an entire round. Was unable to hold by frustrations, and so on Hole #11, I yelled at him to leave us alone coz he was ruining our experience on a nice course. Did not see after that.

Using this app makes me play here more often which I love the traditional west course is a great challenge for any golfer of any skill level

I enjoyed playing here. It's a wide open links style course.

Do not miss this course. An extremely well maintained links course that is sure to please. Go East young man!!!

course in excellent shape greens r tough would play again

It is a beautiful county course. The course is better than a lot of country clubs. Course sets up very well with a lot of bunkers in the play.

The West course was more traditional than the East. It felt more like a private course than public. Nice layout with challenges all around. Good course for the intermediate to advanced golfer. Will definitely be back.
