Mather Golf Course

Now that the traps have good sand and the new groundskeeper has fairways and greens in great shape, it’s on of the best kept secrets for the buck in Sacramento.

The course was not in good shape. We haven’t had any rain for over a month, and the course was muddy….even in the afternoon.

The weather was perfect but the course was still wet with slow, took 3 hours to play 9 holes

Nice course and accessible, lots of long straight drives to work your driver out. Greens were in pretty good shape despite that it was played in the middle of winter.

Only one complaint: the rate of play was slow. We waited on every tee box. It wasn't just the group in front of us either, everyone was backed up, Seems like this is the case most of the time, it was the same last time I played. Not a terrible thing, just be aware if you are booking a tee time expecting a 4.5 hour 18 hole round. It'll be more like 5.5 hours.

I love this course, even with winter conditions, but they really need to improve the pace of play. It is not a nice enough course for cart path only and if they continue that policy, they need to be more aggressive with enforcing pace of play. Also, they allowed a five some that had no monitoring and took way too long. I had to leave after only playing nine holes in 3 hours.

I like this course and I always look for deals here. I'll be back to hopefully, improve on my last score

Common theme every time I play at Mather: too many people playing, pace of play is 5 hours, tee times are 8 minutes apart, constant delays in teeing off (20 minutes late). Players refuse to rake bunkers and fix ball marks on the greens.
