Mercer County Holds Free Golf Day on March 31

2012 county golf membership card is required to reserve a tee time.

Editor's Note: The following is a news release issued by the Mercer County administration.

The free day of golf offered to all current 2012 Mercer County golf card holders will be held Saturday, March 31, 2012, the Mercer County Park Commission announced. The Park Commission will make all tee times available starting at 7:30 a.m. until they have been reserved.

For the past decade, the Mercer County Park Commission had offered a free day of golf to all Mercer County golf card holders on New Year’s Day. But because of unpredictable weather, the Park Commission has moved the date back, allowing more golfers to take advantage.

“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,” said Park Commission Executive Director Kevin Bannon.

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.
