Not worth it.

Will not be going back anytime soon. Course was not in great shape. Greens were punched 3 months ago and still not fully recovered. Tee boxes not great either. They’re also putting groups out every 8 minutes. At $45 for twilight it was not worth it. Can’t imagine paying $70 for prime time rate. Just insane.

Good Value

Really enjoyed the course. Layout of the course was fun. Greens were in sub par conditions. Felt like I missed a few birdie putts and several par putts due to poor greens. I would definitely come back and play again for the price if the greens are in better condition. Would recommend to anyone.

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.
