Mather Golf Course

We have played Mather Golf Course (MGC) various times over the past 10 years. It seems to be going downhill. The driving range balls are old, the in-ground yardage markers on the course are still there but not painted blue (e.g. 200 yds), red (150 yards) or white (100 yards) or listed with distances to the green. So, you better have a GPS range finder or you'll be guessing the whole round. The course is in pretty good shape as are the practice greens. The staff is very friendly. Draft beers are $8.25... so pretty pricey. The golf carts are new and are very nice but without GPS. So, the lack of painted distance markers on course are a problem,. To my previous comment above.. I would give MGC an overall rating of average. Some years ago I would have rated MGC as above average.

On getting there the pro shop staff was friendly.. Starter was very helpful. Course especially the greens were in great shape so all the fairways are starting to dry up because of the heat.. You can see a lot of white life on the course which is refreshing.

Greens were very hard. and super fast. When the ball hit the green it generally bounced and rolled a lot.

Enjoyed a first time round at Mather. Great pace, course needs a little attention, but overall enjoyable round

Mather Field is easy to overlook. But make no mistake, the people are friendly, the course has some challenging holes, and the value is outstanding. Grab a signature Bomber burger after a round to finish the day.

I love playing Mather. The facilities are fantastic, friendly staff, and the course is in great shape.

The pace of play could be better however, Mather is place that attracts all skill levels so slow play is inevitable. This will not deter me from playing Mather as it is one of my favorites.

Cheers!

Fairways were very firm, not sure if thats normal here but the clay below felt like concrete, maybe it was the colder weather.

Greens were nice and bunker sand as well.

There’s not better experience in all of golf than Mather on a sunny Saturday afternoon, wow what an experience

We play almost every week. We always get to our tee time an hour before. We got to the course before the staff arrived and were waiting at the gate. This guy comes roaring up in his Audi, jumps out of his car and yells, “if your going to get here early you need to wait in the dirt road” no good morning, no hello, just a real a-hole. Then he gets back in his car and peels out into the parking lot! It was 6am and he was obviously late. Then we go to check in and and this same guy is behind the desk. I give our party’s name and he says “$60” I looked at my golf now reservation and it says $49 each for our threesome… he says it’s holiday rates I don’t care what golf now says. He was just a really rude guy who obviously didn’t want to be at work on this day.

Mather golf course is 10 minutes from my house but because of people like him we won’t be coming back here.

The fairways were very soon with a good amount of dirt showing. Greens were bumpy and it looks like the whole placement hadn’t been changed in sometime.

Course overall was in good shape, greens were fast and so were the fairways

Second time playing the course and it was the same issue. They need to tell people that there is a tournament on wedenesdays and that it will make you late for your t-time and completely slow your round up. At one point there were 3 teams waiting on a t-box on the back 9. Also, the starter doesn't communicate well. I told him repeatedly my t-time was 12:30 yes i was a single. at 12:45 he asked me if i wanted to play with a group that was going after the group he had already assigned me to, I'm like no i'm already 15 minutes behind. So bottom line is this, yes the course is in much better condition than many others in the area by far but the pace of play does put a damper on the game.

The course is now in serious need of watering. Fairway are ok but greens are like rock.
