Nice course

Overall great course especially for the hot deal price I paid. Lots of high grass though. Lost a lot of balls and none of them were because of trees or water.. just couldn’t find the balls in the long rough crab grass. The staff was great and I’m no pro so I was still very happy with the course! Beautiful scenery too, I’m sure the fall is wonderful

What happened to the East course???

Have played at Mercer Oaks dozens of times over the years and have always enjoyed it. Was last there 2 months ago (end of June). It’s almost inconceivable how the conditions of a course could go downhill so quickly in such a short period of time! It’s almost as if no maintenance has been done at all, other than mowing. The tees are a mess, the traps are a mess (totally unraked with all sorts of weeds in most), the rough is just a blanket of crabgrass and the greens are a joke (hadn’t been mowed for days and the aprons are either nothing but dirt or have been allowed to grow in with crabgrass). It’s almost criminal how they have let this course deteriorate — and my biggest fear is that they’ve lost it to the point that they might not get it back to where it once was. It’s that bad, folks. Yes, they’ve recently aerated the greens and tees - I’m not talking about that. The lack of maintenance is just so obvious, you have to wonder if anyone is minding the store. I don’t know what’s going on over there, but golfers should be advised that this is not the same course you’ve come to know and appreciate. This was my 66th round this year, played over more than 30 courses, and this was BY FAR the worst conditioned course I have played. Golfer beware. P.S. They also have no water coolers out on the course - make sure you bring your own!

Challenging but user friendly

A couple of the best county courses I’ve played. I travel 48 miles one way once a month to pay these courses.

First time back in a while

Didn’t play here last year because of covid even though we play there 6-8 times a year prior. Still a good course. In great shape and a fun layout. Hopefully it stays in our rotation.
