Free Golf on Saturday for 2011 County Card Holders

The Mercer County Park Commission will offer a free round of golf on Saturday, March 26, to Mercer County golf card holders who have renewed their 2011 ID cards

For the past decade, the park commission has typically offered a free day of golf to county golf card holders on New Year’s Day. Due to snow this year, the annual event was postponed until this weekend.

“A free round of golf at one of our four terrific golf courses is a great opportunity to dust off the clubs and start the season for many of our local golfers,” park commission Executive Director Kevin Bannon said.

Mercer Oaks East and West in West Windsor, Mountain View in Ewing, and Princeton Country Club in West Windsor will all be open, weather permitting.

Both Mercer Oaks courses and Mountain View will accept automated advanced tee times by phone or Internet reservation for those individuals who have renewed their golf cards for 2011 and 2011 card holders can simply walk-on at Princeton Country Club on Saturday.

The first tee time at all courses will be 8:30 a.m., frost permitting. 

Mercer County residents must renew their ID cards in person with proper photo identification by visiting one of the pro shops at one of the courses.

The 2011 ID card will allow golfers to make tee time reservations via the Internet or by phone and also will allow for appropriate greens fees to be charged.
