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.

Pretty Good

II played the West course. I prefer the East course slightly. Everything about the West course was average to above average. Condition, layout, staff were all solid. Nothing was exceptional and nothing was bad. For a muni course, it's definitely much better than average. If you get the GolfNow deal of $41, it's a very good deal. The $70 they want normally is too much.

GEM. Felt like a private country club

We played the East course. Greens were terrific. Fairways were plush and well maintained. The pace of play was excellent. The 19th hole in the clubhouse was well stocked and enjoyable.
A terrific day at a terrific course.

Maintained like a private G.C.

Mercer Oaks never disappoints, and I look forward to playing there since there are two courses to choose from, both very enjoyable.

A nice little taste of links golf (Without links weather)

For some reason the East course at Mercer Oaks doesn't seem as popular as the traditional West. I think that it's a great layout and not as challenging as one might think. There is ample room on the sides of (most of) the fairways. Plenty of room to lay-up or bail out (whichever term you prefer) and nice sized and well groomed greens. It is a fun course to plot around. Try it and enjoy!

Standard Links Style Course, nothing special.

Played East course, Links layout. Fairways and Greens in good condition, some tee boxes needed minor work. Ranger was constantly around, kept play moving, but felt uncomfortable as we were behind 4 Walkers and reminded we were 7 min. behind. On tee box told we had 14 min per hole and we had used up 5 already, 4 golfers and we all hit off. Don't think I'll ever play here again.

For a non-resident, this course is not worth the extra money to play on the weekend.

West course: With all of the rain we have had this summer, I was surprised to see the fairways and rough in such spotty conditions. The greens and bunkers were in great shape, but too many bare and dried out spots on the fairways and first/intermediate cuts of rough along the fairways and around the greens. Pace of play for a foursome was better than expected - only 4.25 hours with no stop for lunch. For the money as a non-county resident, I'd rather spend my money elsewhere.

Course has undulating greens and strategic sand traps. You can score if you place your shots. It is a challenge but fair

Course has always been well maintained to pristine. 17 was beat up because of the heat and constant rain, but with care the whole course should bounced back to it's original self. Mother Nature will have to comply.

Great value

Great Value!

Second time playing at Mercer Oaks. First time on the East course. Nice wide fairways but many traps (133) make it quite difficult unless you place the ball perfectly. The course was in good shape. Great facility and the beverage girl was always there on the hot day! Would definitely play again. Would try the West the next time.
