Mercer Oaks Golf Course - East Course

Solid course. Worth the 45 minute drive from pa. I'll be back to play west.

I played East Course.
Course was in good condition.
Finished 18holes around 4 hours.
Staff was friendly !
I would recommend this course to my friends.

Although we've had the worst winter in decades course held up beautifully. It was wet and soggy from rain the previous day but I commend the Superintendent!

I played with 3 of my buddies...had a blast!! all my friends loved this course..will surely visit again!!

both courses are in great shape,greens roll pretty true,its a great value on golf now! i will play these course often!!

It is very nice course. Course layout is fun and the greens were very good. Pace of play was better than expected.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

CONDITION IS GOOD,STAFF FRIENDLY,I PLAYED EAST COURSE,NEXT TIME WILL TRIED THE WEST COURSE.

SEE YOU THERE!

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 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

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.

Very new to golf but me and some of my more experienced friends enjoyed this course very much. Holes were all well kept staff was friendly. Only issue were a very slow group which was spoken to several times, before the course ranger instructed us to go around them and come back to the hole afterwards, and the sprinklers coming on while putting. Not sure if this is a common occurrence or was only because it was almost 100* that day but got wet a few times. Overall great course in my inexperienced opinion and plan to go back!

Mercer Oaks is a great facility with two 18 hole courses. I played the East course which is a links style layout. I live outside of Mercer County, so the rate paid through Golf Now was considerably less than I would have paid otherwise. The conditions were surprisingly dry considering the daily downpours we have been getting daily for the past two weeks. For a county owned facility, the greens were fast and rolled true. There is a lot of really tall fescue, but you really had to hit a poor shot to be penalized by it. I have played other courses where the fescue is more in play and it is frustrating because it penalizes slight miss-hit and slows down the pace of play to a crawl. They layout is straight forward a bit boring. I also do not like bunkers in the middle of fairways that penalize good shots. The pace of play was good and we would have been done in less than 4 hours if the group in front hadn't slowed on the final 3 holes. Overall a very good course, but not as good as the more traditional West course.

It was my first time at Mercer Oaks, and I really enjoyed it. I think the course was in very good condition, not very crowded. I am used to much narrower fairways, and challenging tee boxes, so this was a bit easier off the tees. Would definitely like to go back soon and try the West Course, and play East again.

Grass was quite long in the rough/greens, course is in average condition, WEST course is much better

This is the nicest public course I have played since I moved to NJ about a year and a half ago. The greens were in good shape. The staff was courteous and helpful. For the price I paid on golfnow, it was well work the money.
