Mather Golf Course

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.

For the course:

It seems to be the covid protocol for everywhere these days to stack tee times so closely on top of each other that congestion is inevitable. Especially when no Marshall is enforcing pace of play. At times 3 groups were waiting on a tee box during this round. Overall for the walking price it was a good time and was able to squeeze the last two holes in before dark and at $24 not bad.

For other players:

I’d say it’s also a mix of player etiquette, stop looking for balls that are clearly OB and then trying to shoot some random ball you found out of the junk you’re not lefty take your drop and move it along; same with off the box if you shank one go drop where you went OB and quite backing the course up and the final rant stop playing two balls when the course is packed go spend your money at the range.

First time playing this course rolled up 20 minutes before my teatime ready to go get to the Teebox there’s four groups backed up and we don’t tee off until 15 minutes after the scheduled time. Normally that would be fine but when your teatime is at 1:58 and they don’t take off until 215 now you’re paying for a full round of golf that you do t get because of them and their poor management. At the turn the cafe is closed at 4 so no food or drink available. The course itself is actually very well-maintained I was surprised the greens are definitely hard to read some or a bit fast but otherwise course maintenance was actually impressive for a county operated course. The reason I wouldn’t recommend it is because of the poor management of players and course time the excuse was they had tournaments and it was a very busy day my suggestion is don’t be greedy then and stop taking everybody’s money knowing that you won’t be able to provide them with the 18 hole round that you paid for.

Very nice golf course being well-maintained. Key box is fairways and greens we’re in very good condition. This was the first time at this course, will definitely be coming back.
