Fast Fairways, Slow Greens

Always a great round at Mercer Oaks, either East or West. We played East in 4 hours in a four-ball on a Sunday. Not too bad at all. Course was in great shape, despite the rain. The fairways received good drives very well, and good shots had a lot of run after carry. The greens received good shots well, too. Slower than they look! Fun round at one of the best muni complexes in the state of New Jersey.

In great condition

Been playing this course for years and it's in the best condition I've ever seen. Kudos to the superintendent/staff. It's more expensive than the other New York City courses, but still worth playing. We had a great time. Foursome finished in just over 4 hours. That's fantastic by NYC municipal standards. Book a round.

Great Muny

Great Muny track. Greens roll well, with only 2 excretions (Holes 2 and 16). This course is a lot of fun. Fair, challenging, with plenty of opportunity for sticking it close. Good practice facility, too. Go play!

Great Muny

One of the best minicipal courses I've ever played. Great conditions, even with all of the recent rain. Greens were fast and smooth. Challenging and fair. A great track, certainly worth an hour's drive from Killeen. And a great value on a Sunday!

Overrated

I've played better courses for half of the $140 fee at Wolfdancer. Perfect shots get punished by a frustrating layout, like trees overhanging into the middle of the fairway. Grass was pretty high on the tee boxes and fairways. Native grasses are everywhere, swallowing golf balls. Greens rolled well, I'll give them that. Go to Lions or Falconhead for a less expensive, more enjoyable round.

Dear Michael1262461,

We apologize that the course's difficulty proved troublesome for you. We would love to know, what tees did you decide to play? At Wolfdancer, five different sets of tees allows all golfers to enjoy the layout, normally without frustration. We hope the next time you play your experience is better. Give Wolfdancer another chance, we are confident you will come to enjoy the challenging layout.

Best regards,
Wolfdancer Management

Incredibly Enjoyable

Staff friendliness too notch. The course is beautiful, and in great condition. Greens a little slow, but they run true nonetheless. Overall, the course is a lot of fun. Varying lengths on the par fours make for long and short approach shots, mixing it up as you go along. Excellent bunkering outlines your targets, but if you land in one, the sand is soft and playable (a few bunkers looked like GUR, but most were pristine). Play it.

Good Course with Brooklyn 'tude

It's not fun to show up at #1 about 15 minutes before your 10:30 tee time to have the starter tell you your group has already started. So, after an awkward introduction in the fairway and a drop, it was a lovely round. The harsh winter still shows (the putting green is closed until July). The whole course is in rough shape, but the fairways and greens are surprisingly playable. I'd suggest a lift clean and place mentality. A few of the greens are bald in spots, but they don't get badly in the way. Tee boxes look lovely. For north of $50 to walk... Everything could be better. Still, the course stands up for itself and makes for a fun day.

Short & Challenging

It's not a long course. But it's a crafty one. Plenty of fun with lots of different looks at inviting approaches. Hard to imagine getting through a round without landing in a bunker, but the sand is really clean and soft. The rest is green, very firm. Slow greens, but they were aerated recently. Finished in under (4) hours. I'll be back.

Beautiful course. Can't wait to play it again. Perfectly green and smooth, and they do a great job of clearing the leaves in the fall.

Wide fairways, small greens

Hit lots of fairways, miss lots of greens. Be prepared to scramble from the go, and you'll be fine. Just enjoy the views.

Brooklyn Golf

A golf course plays in Brooklyn. Great course. It's in great shape this year. Fairways are firm and the greens are running smooth (most of them,anyway). Just bring some patience. It's crowded and plays slowly.

Nice course, I'll be back

Booked the tee time for the Hot Deal, and was pleasantly surprised. Been golfing in NYC for years but never went to Spring Lake. It's short and fun, with a few long holes mixed in. Fun, relaxed, and quiet.

Wouldn't let me play!

Enjoyed my 9, and they booked me a 0700 tee time for the following morning. I arrived at 0630, and the pro shop was still closed. I waited outside with a few other groups. The guy showed up at 0705, and rudely said, "You guys know it's gonna rain?" Ok. Then he let the 0720 group go off in front of me because they prepaid, and he refused to accept my payment! "You probably won't get your round in because it's going to rain," he said again. I left without playing! This was 3 hours ago. It never rained.

Great Shape, Great Value

Course is in great condition. Soft and prime for scoring. Lots of fun on a short track, with tons of trouble off the fairways. Best value, by far, at the beach.
