Solid round on MercerOaks east.

The fairways were in good shape. The greens were about average speed but smooth and true. Plenty of rain recently helped. The areas just off the fairway are hit and miss. Some as expected and some barren with gravel. The bunkers need work. Like most public courses, bunker maintenance suffers. The middle of the bunkers have deep sand and the edges have some erosion and there is gravel to contend with and the grass edges are have been ignored this year. They should level the surface of all bunkers to reduce the required maintenance.

Overall a well above average public course that I have played many times. A fair price for the round at one of the best public courses around.

Good course in central NJ

Mercer oaks east is a challenging links style course. Course was in good shape considering heat of the day,88, and high traffic .Gripes: almost no rakes on traps, no water stations, and players were not repairing divots . 4 hour 45 minute round on a Thursday.

First Time Playing

SBEagles

First time playing the East course, links style. Course in good shape, a handful of the greens had ball marks that I can’t figure out why people just don’t repair their marks. Some of the tee boxes could be in better shape but overall very nice conditions. Only complaint is no water on the course to drink, although cart girl was great and came around, should bring back the water coolers, Covid is gone. I would play again but prefer the west for its uniqueness and different terrain

great day for golf

Played a fairly quick round with a couple of short showers late in the round. Course is in good shape. would have liked fewer stones in the few bunkers I did hit into.

Most underrated course in area

Beautiful links style layout. Great shape, fun course to play. Definitely a hidden gem in the central NJ/Philly area if it’s at the right price.

Challenging day in the wind

The course is built like a links course without an ocean. 16 holes have no trees to break the wind. A full-length modern course.

Played on Easter Sunday where it was 50-60 degrees and very windy.

The course was in good shape for this time of year. The preceding players decided not to rake the bunkers that day.

Teed off at 9:45 am and walked off the 18th green at 12:45.

This is a solid public course. top 10% of all municipal courses.

Does not disappoint

Always a great experience at Mercer Oaks East. I was lucky to get the tee time and get it on a hot deal. Course was in good shape. Will come back and will recommend to others. Wish it was easier to get a tee time at this course more often
