The West course is a pleasure to play. Challenging but fair. Great balance of holes to score on and holes to survive and move on.

Played in just under 4 hours on a Friday afternoon. So great pace of play and friendly encounters with the starter and staff.

Sand traps could use some new sand and a bit of care but that’s the only complaint. It’s a terrific course and visually a great place to play

I only gave a course rating of three for one reason. It’s the beginning of the season and the grass is not growing. Very walkable course. Some challenging holes some shorter holes. Traps where not the best mainly because it rained early in the week. Price is very reasonable for a public course. I would highly recommend playing either course. But make sure to have a tee time

Nice Course Traps and Greens Need Work

Overall the course was in good shape. The traps need more sand, there were a lot of rocks and packed clay/dirt. The greens were pretty bumpy too.

Please roll the greens

Overall the course was in good condition, though several of the tee boxes were beaten up. My biggest gripe was the speed speed of the greens, they were very slow, it seemed like you needed to “club up” on every putt. Please put drinking water back on the course, I believe that COVID-19 restriction was lifted last month.

Excellent round, Great course

I played the Mercer Oaks West course. What a fantastic course. It is more than 1 hour drive for me, but definitely I am coming back more often.
Friendly staff, great course layout, and conditions.
Easy to walk (no up or down hills). Water hazards are there. Flat wide fairways.
Excellent course and I sure enjoyed the round.
