was not notified greens were aerated, hence the cheap green fee.

Firmest greens in the valley?

The course was in great shape. They're punching greens today and tomorrow. Those greens were the firmest and fastest I've played in a long time. I'm talking gap wedge to front of green rolling to the back fringe. The tees could use some TLC. The rough was pretty thick.

Needs Help/ No cattle

I would say, I've played Mather a dozen times over the last 5 years. I won't be going back any time soon. It was in horrible condition. The greens are barely playable. Playing on a Saturday morning you would expect the greens to be mowed and few spike marks, these greens looked like cattle had been on them all night long. Its really surprising its fell this far in just a few years.

Lots of construction

Wasn't informed of irrigation construction happening on 2 holes. Basically unplayable and converted to par 3s. Also the food & alcohol prices are ridiculous.

A good city course

I have played Mather golf course several times previously. The last three times the course has been very wet with some areas of the fairways and rough being muddy, but that is due to the recent weather we have had. The greens were hard and not super receptive, but still playable. Some of the greens could use a little TLC as you can tell they’ve had a lot of play on them recently, but not the worst greens I have seen for a city course. Some of the bunkers Was like hitting out of concrete, but you can tell they are working on fixing the bunkers and adding more sand. Overall, it is a good course for a city, but it definitely needs to dry out a little bit more.

Wide open course!

Great course for a novice golfer like me. Wide open fairways. A little dry but overall it was in good shape.

Greens look great.
