All good but the greens…

Course layout, staff, driving range, food and pace of play were all good. Greens were not after damage was done after aeration. They weren’t unplayable and some were better than others, but not up to par with the rest of the course.

Top Dressing Greens with.....?

Have played and enjoyed this course before and did again on 4/10. Although I realize there are certain things that need to be done to keep the course in the good shape that it is, could there be an alternative to the absolutely horrendous smelling "fertilizer" applied to the greens early Saturday morning? Could it have been done on a different day, perhaps mid-week - a non-peak day? The smell of manure was overwhelming and coated the golf balls on every green with every putt. Yes, we're in the midst of a pandemic, but having water in the ball cleaners would've been welcomed.

Sorry to see your disappointment with the fertilizer that was put down last Saturday early am. The longer then normal morning dew caused the issue.

Our normal ball washers have not been out since Covid restrictions were put in place last May. There are a couple older models that are part of signage that should have a bag over them and will now so everyone knows not to use them.

Decent course in good shape

Course is decent, nothing spectacular. Was in good shape. Greens rolled true and speed was consistent throughout the course. Pace of play was good, under 4 hours. Staff was helpful.

Better Than Expected

Pleasantly surprised by the condition of this course considering the recent drought conditions. Fairways and tee boxes were pretty lush, compared to other, local courses, and the greens, despite being aerated a couple of weeks ago, were quite decent. Is it worth the standard rate? Probably not.

Course amenities are nothing special. Driving range is bargain basement, food so-so (burger at the turn was an overcooked hockey puck) and the carts could use an upgrade.

The golf part, though, wasn't bad.

Surprising

Having played this course quite a few times but not in while, I was surprised at the poor condition (relative to its usual condition) of the course this time. Greens were recently aerated (why no mention of this on Golf Now? no discount offered), tee boxes were poor in some areas and even the fairways were a bit beaten up on many holes. Understanding that the weather has made maintaining good course conditions challenging, Mercer Oaks usually does a better job of dealing with this.

Thank you for the feedback. We do apologize for the miscommunication about our aeration dates. The heat does make maintaining perfect conditions a challenge but we expect them to improve greatly as the heat abates. We hope you'll come and play here again soon!

Disappointing

Course is ok for a local, convenient place to play.

1) Policy of no checking in prior to 15 minutes before one's tee time is ridiculous. Add a staff member with a bad attitude, and it makes for a good start to the day.
2) Starter had half his "sheet" empty and had NO Idea who was playing when.
3) 4 groups per hole AVERAGE throughout the day and not a sign of a "ranger" except for on the 2nd hole when he came out to tell everyone that it was those who booked online the same day that are to blame. What?!
4) No water coolers on the course - not A ONE.
5) No beverage carts on the course - not a ONE.
6) No sand in bunkers. It was like hitting off the street.
7) Completely indifferent staff.

All businesses run into problems at some point. It's how it's handled that makes the difference. In this case, there wasn't a word mentioned of how badly the course was backed up, only that they were 25 minutes behind on tee times. Had I not overheard the conversation between the guy with the bad attitude at the check-in desk and the starter, I would've never known. Unacceptable. A warning BEFORE you take my money is the least I expect.

To then be completely disinterested in the fact that the course was a complete disaster and not even give the appearance of trying to move things along was just downright shameful. 3-4 groups per hole, on every hole, and not a ranger to be seen in 5+ hours? Unacceptable.

I will certainly seriously reconsider playing at this course again. It's just not a good enough course, regardless of cost, to put up with the mess that was yesterday.

Worth the Trip

Played on a cold and blustery day, so the pace of play was probable affected by the relatively small turnout.
Overall course conditions were quite good, although there were many obvious ball mark repairs on the faster than most public course greens. Clubhouse is but a trailer and the facility will greatly benefit if and when the much rumored new clubhouse is built. Staff was very friendly and accommodating, unlike many public/muni courses. We will be going back, hopefully when the weather is nicer.

Not Worth the Money

Course in decent condition. Greens fairly good. The value is poor, though, and there are better, more reasonably priced option.

The approach of the on-course staff, mostly young guys, leaves a lot to be desired.
