Straightforward course

Mather is a former Air Force base course nowowned and operated by the County of Sacramento with wide fairways, onlly 1 forced carry (a par 3), over flat terrain with relatively unguarded greens. It plays shorter than its measured yardage, making it an ideal course for higher handicap players,or for anyone looking for a better-than-average score. Greens roll relatively well, and conditioning is good for a public course. Enjoyable but not challenging.

Our 1/2 round of golf today!!

Attempted to get in a round of golf today 4/4/20.

Although mother nature had different plans.With,

this CV-19 being the main focus on everyone's plate

right now the golf buddies & myself had to get out of

the house.We had a tee time at 9:02 & were able to get

out a little earlier, good thing.Cause just as we were packing up the rain started.The course & greens were in

very good shape,no rakes in traps cause of virus.

Guys in pro shop very friendly & very helpful with crediting our back "9".

We will definitively play this course again.

Great place to play with Covid-19 restrictions

The course is in excellent shape and they have taken great steps to protect their staff and customers. The holes are raised so that you just need to hit the cup. No need to touch the flag stick. The bunkers are considered to be ground under repair so that there is no need for raking. They are restricting one person per golf cart. I felt very safe (a lot more than other courses I played during this time).

Mather February 2021

The weather has been exceptionally dry this year, consequently the course is pretty hard . It could do with a lot more water to give some softer landings.. However, the greens are very fast.
