Great Day of Golf

Mather Golf Course is a great course, with a varied, challenging layout and well-kept bunkers and greens. The staff, Pro Shop, range and clubhouse restaurant are all excellent, combining to make Mather a good addition to your course rotation.

Quick Round

The course was not busy. I played on my own and only had one foursome in front of me. They were nice enough to let me play through. I was able to get around in 2 hours and 45 minutes.

SLOW

I had a course marshal playing with us, and the two groups in front of us were painfully slow, yet he did nothing about it. I ended up walking off the course in the back nine. Also, there was a lot of vehicles operating around the golf course while we were playing, to include a tractor literally 5 feet behind us as we were teeing off.

Cut the grass

The grass was absolutely way too long on the second cut… If your ball was not right in the fairway, you could easily lose your ball right off of it in 4 inches of grass and even if you could find your ball, it was nearly impossible to hit it. It’s like you were playing the U.S. Open type conditions.

Great course for walking

Great course for the walking golfer. Course itself is relatively forgiving and not really too challenging. But I really wish people would repair their pitch marks on the greens.

Great round

First time playing. Overcast day with a steady 10 mph breeze made for a fun challenge playing from the blue tees. Course was in great condition and greens were definitely challenging. Will definitely be back, enjoyed our day and pace was a little slow with back ups at all par 3’s. Played in 5 hours teeing off at noon which was delayed by 20 minutes.
