A boast for The Oaks

Oaks East In fantastic shape after the soaking rains it received in early Summer putting everything lush and green, which is always tough to get that mid summer around here. Greens not lightning fast, but not too slow and the rolls are true, plus well hit approaches don’t roll off every back which is all you can ask for. Best public course in Central Jersey, in my opinion.

Slow play.

I walked the east course. Played with another gentlemen that was very nice who had a cart. Had a foursome in front of us with carts. Waited on every hole with every shot. 5 hour round. Started at 1:30 and didn't see cart girl until 3.5 hours into round. Does she cover both east and west? Not sure. But 90 plus degrees out. No water to drink on course. I was dying. If it wasn't for Bob, the nice gentlemen I played with, I would have left after 9 holes. Course in great shape though. Knuckleheads need to fix ball marks on greens. Tons of them.

Gorgeous

What a gorgeous course. Beautiful plush fairways and very well kept. And amenities are nice, putting green, driving range, grill room .

I would put it right up there (if not a wee bit better) than some of the other local courses like Hominy Hill, knob hill, and Charleston Slrings.

Water

As we prepared to tee off we were told to grab the cart girl when we see her - she was working both the East and West course and that there was no where to refill a water bottle on the course.

It was the hottest day of the year,

Mercer Oaks has the 2 quality courses, played West last week and East for the first time in a few years,

Good conditions - no complaints but they really should provide water stations on the courses.

Played this course again

And will continue to do so. They gave us a free use of the cart for July 4th so that saved us $16. We did have a 10 minute down pour but the course absorbed that relatively quickly.

Sad to see a good course gone BAD.

Both East and West used to be in fairly decent condition, but sadly, those days are long gone.

Bunkers rate a zero out of five.

Tee boxes , 2 out of five.

Fairways, 2 out of five.

Greens, 2 out of five.

Water in the ball washers ??? Not a chance.

Drinking water on the course ?? NOPE.
