Rangefinders Do Not Work At Mercer East
Leave your rangefinder at home because although the West course has prisms on the flags, the East course does not! The East course is also poorly marked as far as yardage markers go. Sure, there is a 150 yard marker pole on every hole other than par 3's, but this is by today's standards inadequate and really slows down play. No reason not to have flags that work with rangefinders.
Greens look like they have never been rolled at all this year. They played extremely bumpy. Greenside bunkers were absolutely terrible. I almost broke my wrist and my sandwedge because there was no sand in the bunkers.
This course has a long way to go to be even rated as average.
great golf at a great value
I used to live near by Mercer Oaks and played both courses frequently.. I played the East course yesterday after not playing here for close to 10 years. The facility is better than ever! You wont find a better municipal facility anywhere.. The East course is true links golf and be prepared for wind, fescue and plenty of sand. The greens on the front side were slower and spongier than the back 9.. The fairway bunkers all huge and very well placed and you have to drive the ball extremely accurately to stay away from them.. The course was crowded and there were rangers out keeping everything moving. We played in 4 hours and 15 min and that was good too.. The par 5's on the East Course are outstanding and challenging.. The par 3's are also top notch.. The only thing holding back the East Course from a 5 star rating is course conditioning.. There are a few little spots that need some grooming but as a muni course, you'll find no better.. There is a nice bar and grill too if you want a good beer and burger afterwards.. Don't miss playing here if you've never been..
not your typical county course
Mercer oaks east is a quality links course with a great design and challenging greens. I will definitely go back again and again
come prepared to deal with water hazards and also bunkers
Mercer Oaks West will almost play like a private club
Mercer west
This course is beautiful. Well maintained and manicured. The course provides a great challenge with the layout, beautiful views and excellent play. However my only gripe is that. I booked my tee time for two and they made us partner up with two others and then the ranger was rude and always saying I need you guys to hurry up. You behind usga time right now. He approached us at least 5 times in a 18 holes. It was annoying. I paid $100 to golf so I am going to enjoy my round. Your overweight ranger teamed us up which slowed us down have some curtisey.
Nice course; excellent value
The county does a nice job maintaing this course. It obviously gets a lot of use, and the pace was just ok as expected. It is a fantastic value. Very playable not unduly challenging. I would definitely recommend it.
Mercer Oaks East Golf Course
My only complaint was the greens were inconsistent and very slow on some holes.
Wonderful track in central NJ
Mercer Oaks has two 18 hole courses.
We played the east course which is a links course with wide fairways,lots of bunkering and true greens.
There are a few water holes but not an issue.
The course was in great condition for a muni.
We plan to return to play the west course next
great greens
the course was in good shape greens fast but fair I played from the white tees i don't hit that long but you get good roll in the fair ways would join if i lived closer
very nice course especially for a county course
Course was in excellent shape, shot placement is very important, if you are not on the fairway, you are in some deep rough. People were friendly, even after they knew we were golf now players. If you are out of county, Golf Now is the only way to play at a decent rate. Will definitely play again, best course under $45 in the area.
Nice and open!
Spacious fairways and well kept greens made this a very fun time! The foursome in front and back of us, along with us, kept it moving at a comfortable pace where we didn't feel any pressure. Looking forward to going back!

COURSE ALWAYS IS A CHALLENGE
I've PLAYED HERE OFTEN....LOVE THE LAYOUT....PLAYED FOR MANY YEARS....JUST WID=SH THEY'D LEVEL THE TEE-BOXES
East vs West at mercer oaks
I played the east course this time around as I usually play the west. The east course is wide open so you unload on your drives and not get hurt at all - where the west course will demand accurate drives. I was driving the ball well and usually found myself inside the 150 marker with a short iron into the green. This is similar to the west side. The greens were receptive but lumpy because they have 2 different types of grass in them. All said and done I prefer the west course but I will play this again shortly. Dave Rizzo. Bensalem pa.
MERCER OAKS
SO MUCH HYPE. DONT GET IT. GREENS POOR. PACE OF PLAY SLOW. NO RANGERS. EVERYONE HYPES THIS COURSE, DIDNT SEE IT. ATLANTIC CITY COURSES BLOW IT AWAY. COLTS NECK BETTER, EAGLE RIDGE BETTER, EVEN LAKEWOOD IS BETTER. FRONT DESK DOESNT SEEM TO CARE FOR US USING GOLF NOW TEE TIMES.
Great for a County Course
For early in the season was in Great shape. Will definately play again
Customer service
Excellent customer service from booking to service at the golf course
Mercer East
2 Great Tracks East Course Links style with plenty of wind. Beautiful layout with 4 sets of tees so the course measures from 6000 - 7200 yards depending on tee choice.
Top Notch County Course
The weather conditions were tough. Winds constant at 15+, cloudy and cold. Makes the course much more difficult and somewhat less enjoyable. Tee boxes, fairways and bunkers in good condition. The greens were recently aerated so didn't roll true. Would love to catch a break and play on a nice day. Doesn't take away from quality of course. The 17th just doesn't fit the 'links' style. Would def play again.
Seaview Stay & Play Golf Package
you need to play up to the pace requested by the golf course regardless you paid $100 or $10
