Great time but!

It was a beautiful day and I was playing with a great bunch of guys. The only thing was that the owners/company operating the golf course spread extra soil/fertilizer/seed that made it very difficult to play in. I think I took home more mud home than what I dragged on to the golf course with my golf shoes. The sport shop, cantina, and all the people were great. Just don't go and play it two days after the rain. other than that its a beautiful course and you will find it challenging!

Greens are in fantastic condition

Other than a few tight muddy lies, not uncommon this time of the year, great track for the value.

Course is too muddy with bare spots even in fairways

I usually don’t play Mather in the winter because it doesn’t drain well but there’s been little rain this winter so thought it would be OK but there was fog and low clouds the entire day and the course itself was mostly muddy with very little grass even in the fairways - my shoes were caked in mud.

Staff is friendly and there is good facilities but winter is not good time to play this course. None of the holes had shoe cleaners; this course desperately needed them.

Well maintained, nice gol course in Sacramento area.

This course on the Mather Air Force base, is a jewel. Always in good shape. Very fair. Fun and interesting layout. Relatively flat. Easy to walk, for those who don’t want to take a cart.
