Worst conditions I ever saw

The entire course is in disrepair. Turf stripped and missing on multiple fairways. Grass not cut. Absolutely disgusted they are charging full rate for a course so unkept.

Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.

Worth the cost if cheap

Good long 18 hole course for price. If the course was maintained much better, it can be great

Low section need a bit more attention

Considering that we are in a drought, hard fairways are expected but not the rough. Could let it grow taller to fight the drought about to be bare?

Fun, but fairway needs fixing

It’s a great course, plus the layout is great. Just some of the fairways are patchy and need upkeep

Flooding

Unfortunately holes 13 through 17 were flooded and we were not able to play but being prepaid we still paid for 18 holes. We were offered the option to replay a few holes however did not play because the pace of play was slow due to the holiday.

Never Again

Staff was unfriendly, course is a dump, pace of play was a 5 hour round. I can honestly say I rather play any other course with lefty clubs and bees constantly stinging me than play Princeton ever again.

We’ll Be Back

Only giving it 4 stars because we couldn’t play the back 9 and the driving range area was a little messy. That said - it had rained an absurd amount the day before - which is why we couldn’t play the back 9 - and despite the conditions, the crew there was awesome. We played the front 9 twice and really enjoyed ourselves. We are about 15 handicaps and the course was fun without being excessively challenging for our level. The clubhouse is completely remodeled, new ownership took over this year and based on how they re-did the clubhouse, the course will be singing in no time. We really enjoyed it and we will 100% be back to check out the full course. Chef was awesome too - we only got hot dogs at the turn but I have Foodservice experience and in talking to him briefly, it’s clear that man is cooking some good food.

Some picturesque places to play from

Played after it had rained and was cart path only so that slowed our group down. Lift,clean,place and in some cases retrieve from underwater! Would like to play again without the puddles in fairways, also some of the Tee box locations need to be Re-thought. Having to go backwards to play next hole causes delays and interrupts golfers behind you in certain spots otherwise it was ok with potential . Back 9 was VERY wet and soupy. Greens slow but in good shape

Gotta make some changes!

I’ve played here for years! Smaller course with casual pace of play. Lately it’s been getting really loud with the DJ music which makes it really distracting to focus. Most of the time they’re putting tee times at the same time outings are going on. Today they hosted a kids outing with little guys were running around on other peoples greens. To me it doesn’t make sense to put tee times at the same time as the outing. You’re only going to waste time and money for everybody. I think it’s time I stick to the other Mercer Oaks courses. As it is, there needs to be some big changes or else I’ll consider this the last time I play there.

Brilliant course, fast greens and very tight fariways

Course is in great shape, very tight and small greens so beware of off line hits. This has not been aerated yet so plays very nice. Love the course!
