Princeton Country Club
About Princeton Country Club
Princeton Country Club is an 18-hole course that came under the Mercer County Park Commission in 1965. The clubhouse was renovated in 2015, and the course received a new irrigation system and rebuilt bunkers in 2014.
Measuring just over 6,000 yards to a par of 70, the layout relies on tight, tree-lined fairways and small greens that slope from back to front, placing a premium on accuracy and short-game touch rather than raw length.
Practice facilities include a full driving range and a putting green. The club also serves as the home of the Mercer County Golf Academy, located on the clubhouse's second floor.
