My Mather GC experience

Played 18 with a pick-up group of 3 others. Hot weather on a holiday weekend. The course is nicely laid out IF YOU CAN HIT A DRAW. And, if you've still got a slice you're in for a ride. The fairways while frequently very wide also have bottlenecks so unless you can hit fairly long straight drives, or as I said 'hit a draw' you're going to be scrambling a lot. That said, I had a lot of fun and met some nice people. Lots of long par 4s and some slight elevation changes throughout, with just enough change between holes to keep things interesting. The greens, while not tiered or very large are still challenging and not something to take for granted. The fairways are still pretty green but get anywhere outside the middle and you're going to have to deal with hardpan. I only got sandy once and didn't notice any concrete but I saw a buddy's sandwedge bounce prior to making contact. Other than that it was overall a good golf experience.

Underrated Track

Solid and challenging course. Nice mix of holes.

Good condition; very good greens though not as fast as normal. Bunkers are awful but so are bunkers everywhere.

Play was exceptionally slow today but marshal did the best he could.

Mather

Plays long, but fairly straight and noy too difficult. Not a lot of hazards. Course was muddy in quite a few spots and greens weren't consistent. Overall, it was a fun course to play and I'd play there again.

Just shot my best round here

Great fairways, great greens, only gave four stars on course condition because the sand traps need to be prepared much better than they are. Just rake them out at the beginning of the day. The whole trap, not just the bottom of the trap.

Straight forward

Played a relatively quick round for a Sunday afternoon. Nothing tricky about this course. Has some long par 4s but if you can keep it in the fairway a good score is attainable.
