Awesome...considering the time of year.

I really like MO-East. The staff is friendly and helpful. The pace of play is excellent, just under a 4-hour round on a Sunday! I have two gripes: 1) The greens have not yet recovered from the aeration (I know it is early, but they were almost unplayable); 2) The bunkers were mostly in good condition, however, very few had even one rake.

Great Mercer County Course

My group played on Saturday 4/22. Pace of Play was slow but it was the weekend. Course was a lot of fun. Conditions were great for spring. Clubhouse food was average but decent. Prices were good.

Pace of play for afternoon tee time

Played at 3pm tee time at Mercer Oaks East on Sun. The pace of play was so slow that we needed to finish after 9th hole. If you play on weekend afternoon, be aware. Generally there is no ranger to maintain the pace of play.

Perfect day

Late twilight walking, wasn't sure I'd finish 18, but pace was quick and we finished at sunset. This course plays well to my high fade from the tee. I hit some of my best shots so far this season and scored well. I will definitely be back.

1 small problem

or a big one depending on how you look at it. We spent the whole back 9 following a group of 5. This is #1 on their list of "local rules" on their scorecard and there wasn't a ranger to be seen the 2.5 hours it took us to play the back. The greens were slow but we knew going in that the course aerated 2 weeks prior so that really wasn't an issue. Just can't get past the 5some in front of us though....
