Pleasant Course Pros: Great signage, well maintained, beginner friendly.
Cons: Not closer to my home... no elevation changes.
Other Thoughts: Some may consider this course too simple (9-holes, double tees, 71 par) but I found it quite enjoyable with enough challenges to be intriguing. Several narrow fairways, hard dog-legs, low hanging branches, short trees force any player to think about their shot selection. Experienced players should be able to achieve scores well below par.

Pros: Easy navigation. New tee boxes and signs finally all in place. 9 holes + 2 tees each(long/short) = 18 total holes. Most long and short tees are spread nicely so they really do feel like a completely different hole at times. Multiple ace opportunities from several of the short tees. Flat terrain provides easy walking and most holes have open fairways, but some well placed trees/shrubs add a nice challenge for several shots. Nearly impossible to lose a disc during Fall/Winter when the brush is minimal but this will surely change with the growing season.
Cons: Course design could be better. Tee pads are raised a few inches off the ground and on the short side so watch out if you take long strides like me. Several of the "B" holes are a little too short and could be made to be more challenging. Beware the gopher holes and all the thorns in the brush/undergrowth. The holes should be re-numbered (Hole 2 should really be Hole 1... it just makes more sense for the layout and parking.)
Other Thoughts: All in all, I've greatly enjoyed playing this new local course (I'm just happy to have one in Mercer) but it could certainly benefit from some improvements, re-design, and/or additional holes. It's a decent beginner-friendly course and although most fairways are out in the open, some difficult shots are still required and just a little wind can greatly impact your game.

Good Practice Spot
Pros: Lots of open space with some good pin positions. This course is pretty quiet its nice to have the place to yourself sometimes. Beautiful spot, park service keeps the entire place mowed and in great condition.
Cons: Large open space isn't utilized well, most of the long tees are still very short. The new tee-signs are really nice but I wish more effort had gone into course design (mainly tee location) before finalizing tee-signs. Some holes are easy par 3's marked as par 4s or 5s, etc. The tee-pads are in now too but are very short and raised up off the ground so you cant run up to it or on it. I don't play any of the tees on the course I just make up my own tee spots. Hole #2 used to be #3, they shifted the entire course but still didn't get it right. Current hole #2 should be hole #1 so you start and finish closest to the parking lot.
Other Thoughts: This course has a lot of potential but needs some re-design on a bunch of holes. Overall it is a fun 9 hole course to play, I love coming here because its really close to where I live and its a good quiet place to get away and practice driving/putting.

nice 9-hole
Pros: The baskets are all brand new and are in excellent shape, multiple tees on every hole. Tee signs have now been installed and are pretty nice. I would say that this course would be an excellent beginners course, especially utilizing the B tees.
Cons: The B tees are extremely short, some are less than 130ft (which is why these may be good for beginners). The tee boxes are gravel and are extremely short. The course should start at hole #2 (this was originally numbered as hole #3 before the tee signs were installed). The teepad for hole # 2 is the closest to the parking lot, and Hole # 1's basket plays right next to this (this should become hole #9 if it were my call). no elevation.
Other Thoughts: There is definitely a lot of room to expand this course. Whether this be with additional holes, teepads, or pin placements. Due to how open most of the course plays I think a few man-made obstacles would really help with the appeal.

Pros: Recently built 9 hole course, and thus has new baskets and tee pads. A "short" and "long" tee are present at each hole depending on the level of challenge you want. Despite the lack of signage, navigation is very easy- always a plus when playing. Course enters the woods at a couple of junctures but is primarily open with various trees/shrubbery providing obstacles to challenge you. Some interesting holes- the "horseshoe" on hole #1 in particular is a very good hole from the long tee, and a couple of others require you to throw through narrow openings leading to the basket. Fairways and landing areas have been carved out nicely and have been mowed sufficiently. Located on a nice piece of property in a very big county park.
Cons: At 8 feet in length, the tee boxes are a bit short, and cinder rock surface must be packed down better for good run ups- much of this will correct itself as the course gets used. Currently, there are no signs or 'next tee" markers whatsoever. Short tees are a bit TOO SHORT at four of the holes and provide ace opportunities and sure birdies for even an average player. Beware- more gopher holes than the course in "Caddyshack", so pay attention where you walk.
Other Thoughts: This course has TREMENDOUS potential, and as usual, it will depend on where the Parks Department chooses to go from here and whether or not it is willing to maintain it. A loyal DG following in the Mercer County area needs to make themselves known and available!! The space exists to add another 9 holes and make this a wonderful addition to an otherwise sub par disc golf scene in New Jersey, My rating reflects the course in its current state- and I will gladly add another half or whole "disc" to its rating when tee signs are installed and/or another 9 holes are added. I enjoyed playing here and definitely will return.

open course
Pros: Very open course.Practice basket on left side of the power lines. 1st hole across the access road, you'll see the tees.Only holes 3,4,5 in the woods. nice open holes on 7 and 8, a little of everything. Long and short tee on each hole,
Cons: They just set this course up earlier this year and only recently laid down the tee boxes. Only 9 holes, they are still working on it.
Other Thoughts: This course is minutes from my house. I've rarely played and seen other players there, usually have the course all to your self

Fun Little Course
Pros: Good use of the available fauna and open areas. Some tough shots around obstacles. Nice to finally have course in Mercer County park. Two tee pads for each basket, (once they are finished)
Cons: Short course. Only nine baskets. Not really manicured. The park could easily contain a much larger 18 basket course. No signage yet in the park.
Other Thoughts: Park in P1 for fields 3-9. Off to the right (towards power lines) is hole 3 going into the woods.

Pros: Course is nice and big. It has some fairly difficult throws with lots of obstacles to challenge the more advanced players.
EDIT: They have installed tee pads, signage and garbage pails for every hole. The alternate tee locations provide for an entirely different experience. If you want to challenge yourself, make the B pins all par 3's. In the summer the foliage makes the course a much tougher play, with limbs reaching out and forcing you to make good shots. The parking lot has finally been designated, so feel free to drive up onto the grass and park closer to the course.

Cons: The raised tee pads are about 2 feet to short for my liking, making the windup for a long shot a little more difficult. Giant gopher holes are hidden all over the park. Be careful or you could wreck a knee/ankle.
Other Thoughts: It looks as though the park has a boatload of room. It would be excellent if there was an addition to make this a true 18 hole experience.

Pros: Good use of wooded areas and open spaces.
Finally we have a course in Mercer County.

Cons: Poor course design, plays like NASCAR, nothing but left handed turns.
Whomever desided the course put the tee pads in horrible locations. Some of the B tees are way too short.
Hole 2 needs to be hole 1, why should I have to walk all the way down the path when Hole 1 ends at the parking lot and hole 2 starts at the parking lot?

Other Thoughts: Would be nice to have another 9 holes on this course
Play hole 2 first and end on one, until the pins numbers are switched.
