Mercer Oaks Gc

This Arden Hills design threads through mature oak groves and wetlands with surgical precision, demanding course management over raw power on nearly every hole. The front nine's elevation changes and doglegs reward local knowledge, while the back nine opens up around three ponds that come into play on five holes—including a diabolical island green par-3 that's become the course's calling card. For a daily-fee track in central Jersey, the conditioning rivals many private clubs, and the greens roll true enough to trust your read.
