Great course if you want to lower your handicap

Open golf course, wide open fairways and very forgiving. Slight doglegs here and there to keep it fun and not so boring. Easy to shoot your handicap or go low and shoot your best round ever. Great for kids.

Mather was very nice to play

I really enjoyed playing Mather golf course! Staff was friendly, I lost 2 of my clubs and the marshal found them both. I tried to give him a tip but he refused. He was very friendly! I will be back!

Improvements starting to take

Mather's effort to switch to automated watering is definitely paying off. The fairways are much healthier than in the past. A few are still recovering from the install, but playable.

The greens on Saturday were very fast. One person in our group was 12-15 feet above the hole on #6. After his first putt, he was 12 feet below. Yikes!

Sub 4 hour round on a Saturday morning.

Slowest play in Sacramento

This course tries to pack as many people in it as possible. I teed off more than a hour after my scheduled tee time and was not able to finish before dark. This course does have its challenges, especially when it comes to avoiding being hit by some hacks golf ball.

Good Gol Now Value

Long course which made pace of play a little slow. Went out as twosome paired with a single and then a second single on 2nd hole. Course pretty muddy considering it hadn't rained in a week. Pin placement and speed of greens pretty tough and fast for a muni.

The course was still muddy here and there but the greens were pretty fast. The round moved quickly. The wet towels that were provided were a nice touch. Staff as friendly as always.

great people -perfect weather-good day-will play again

I am a beginner and clearly appreciated being paired up with 2 gentlemen who were positive and helpful and patient - their positive and generous attitude toward me were encouraging and my golf actually improved as they were not bothered by my being new to golf. This is a great encouragement to learning the game and having fun. I will play Mather again . All the staff friendly and relaxed. Great on-line deal !

Mather GC

Got a good deal on Golf Now, $25/player including a cart. Course was in fair condition considering it's winter. Grass is a bit thin and fairways were muddy. Greens were in good condition but a bit bumpy.

Slushy

Had a short frost delay but not long. The course is very soft from all the rain. The fairways has not been cut for a while so, it was hard to tell from fairway to rough. The greens were cut, and rolling good.

muddy muddy muddy

Picked a terrible time to play Mather for the first time in 6+ months. I expected the course to be wet considering all the rain the Sacramento area has received over the past 7-10 days but I didn't expect it to be a mud pit. The fairways are patchy with grass with mud everywhere. Understand, it wasn't soggy grass...it was soggy mud. Soggy grass would have been just fine. My advice would be to STAY AWAY from Mather whenever it appears that the course will be wet. It was a horrible 4 and 1/2 slog around the course. I will wait until the summer to play here again.

Greatest staff in comparison to all the surround courses!

Everyone at this course is incredibly nice, knowledgeable & helpful in all ways. I'm not usually compelled to write reviews but I figured the workers at this course deserved some recognition.

It has challenges

Due to the drought the fairways had some brown, but the green, for the most part, were in excellent shape and read true. The course plays long but fair. Fairways reward, rough is tough and relatively small greens from long approach shots. A good course that has it's challenges.
