Poor Golf Etiquette

please who had already played a round were coming thru again during twighlight playing thru our round. there were balls all over the fairway and you could not easily find your ball because of the chaos. would not play here again, at least during twighlight when it's a big free for all.

Roving "Marshall" did nothing about hte chaos but reprimanded us for having our golf cart just off the cart path.

Surprisingly Dried Out

Usually, this course is in good shape. With the mild weather we have had, I was surprised by the many dry spots in the fairways and tee boxes. Every other course that I have played in the area recently has been in above average condition, not Mather.

Easy Course - Stress Free Round

Mather is a relatively easy course without many hazards and wide fairways. Still have to hit the ball and putt well to score like any course. Course is in pretty good condition. Greens were hard and fast. Only issue is there is too big a difference between the blue and white tees. We played the combo (blue white) and on several par fours it was between 80 and 100 yards difference. Typically you would see between 20 and 40 yard difference. Hole four is a relatively long par four from the Blue tees of almost 400 yards but only 305 from the White tees; Hole 5 over 400 yards from Blues but only 325 from White. For those of us that the Blues at 6400 yards is a bit long playing the blue white combo is only 5970 and seems too short. Would expects whites to be about 6000 and combos about 6200. Regardless this is a good course to score well and fairways roll out well but hard to keep balls on green. Good practice areas although range matts are worn and should be replaced.

Beautiful day at Mather.

Mather is in very nice shape. The sand traps could use some care. The tops are overgrown and overhang the traps a bit making it more challenging to get out. Once we got off the first tee which was running late, the pace of play was good. A beautiful day spent in a park setting.
