The condition of the front nine is fair but the back nine is a different story. 13 thru 17th holes are all soggy and muddy.

Get what you pay for

Not sure where this course is headed , still cheapest of the 5 Mercer county courses ,Good enough to get through your golf itch , water water everywhere , poor drainage - it’s a perennial problem, don’t think the county will be willing to spend to upgrade the course / fix the problem once and for all, wondering what the end point is - in the meantime it’s good enough esp for avid mid to high handicap golfers esp when it’s dry

Wet weather
Walked

Great walking course, mostly flat with decently wide fairways. Greens were fair and gave you a chance to make long putts. Friendly staff. Will definitely play again

Princeton CC

The front nine of the golf course was beautiful and even though I paid for 18 I was unable to play the back nine because it was very swampy, I have to go there during a drought lol

Back nine is shameful

The front nine is really nice so you wonder where the bad reviews come from. Then you play the back nine. OMG I dont think its seen a lawnmower in weeks-and its been hot and dry all week. The fairways are like rough-the length of the ball. We could hot a ball down the middle of the fairway and then scarcely be able to find the ball! Seriously had to search for it. Horrible shape. Deep, weeds, etc. like jungle ball. So only play there if all you want to play is 9 homes.
