Great time, slow however

Marshals did not enforce pace of play on the slow group in front of us.

long and straight

The course is wore down and the fairway are pretty brown. Green are actual in pretty good shape. Tee box's are also wore. Over all it not a bad golf course, just not well maintained. The course is old style, just long and straight

Great Value for the Money

I like this course very much and have played it many many times. They offer some super deals via GolfNow and there is always good availability of tee times. This was formerly an Air Force golf course and each hole for the most part is laid out very straight. This equates to maybe not a lot of memorable holes or asthetically interesting holes, but it is easy to get on and a good value. The conditions are very good and last time I played the greens were rolling very fast (which I really liked!). The fairways are wide and generous and it is good for your ego.

OK for a Sunday afternoon

It's Mather, so I expected a long round, lots of folks hitting across fairways et al...

Nice day out, nice enough to play a replay at 15 bucks...

good condition

Got a starting time at the last minute. Course was in good condition, not crowded and the price was very reasonable. Their were just two of us, stopped at the turn to get something to eat, and we still finished in about 3.5 hrs.

The course is in good shape

Nothing tricky about this course. What you see is what you get. A little on the long side with plenty of landing area on most holes for driving off the tee ....The greens are in great shape..... I find playing the course enjoyable.

Course was in very good shape. Marshals did a good job

The greens were in better shape than normal. The woman at the proshop was very helpful. Pace was excellent. The fairways were in good shape. I enjoyed the day and my golf partners did as well.

Good course to test your game! Greens very good! Plays long.

Mather has a lot of bomber holes! Good test for longer hitters!
Although course has tree lined holes, all fairways have plenty of room to keep it in play!

straightforward test of golf

a player will use all the clubs in the bag.
course is very firm this time of year, with greens
that still hold the well hit shot.

great conditon,fairways and greens

the pace of play is absolutely terrible five and half hours never saw a marshal. At times on back there were 15 to 20 minutes wait on the tees. they have sighs on the course that says a foursome should a hole in fifteen minutes, which not possible when you are sending foursomes off every 4 to 4 1/2 minutes

Tricky Greens

The course is a bit long from the whites 6450 yds but there is ample room for Driving and not much trouble in the fairways.The only defense this course offers up is its tricky Greens and in certain pin placements they can be downright nasty.This is an enjoyable course for most people.

Mather Review

A great course for all skill levels. Although long, the fairways are wide. The course is in great shape. The greens are fairly fast and can be somewhat deceptive. I read more slope than was necessary. Great experience and the weather was fantastic.

The course is returning from aeration operations.

Mather is in pretty good condition, considering it isn't all the way back from it's aeration...greens are a bit shaggy with the plugged holes almost gone on most of them. Some tee boxes have longer to go before they recover. Fairways were in very good condition for the most part as was the rough. Friendly staff.
