Mather Golf Course

The course condition was not a surprise, just wanted to get in a round of golf between rain storms. However the group that teed off in front of my group was playing from the blue tees and advancing the ball maybe 25 yards each strike. The starter was watching this and was unwilling to do anything. The group in front of this slow group teed off on hole #2 and half way down the front way. Finally the slow group was out of range so that we could teed off. The group realized how slow they were and allowed us to play through on hole #1. The starter continued to watching this all playing out but still not doing anything to correct the problem. The course management should never allow this level of slow play, especially on a very busy day for the golf course.

Besides the wet and foggy weather, the course was in good condition. Drains very well.

Staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Highly recommend.

The course is in good condition for this time of year. Bare spot in fairway, lots of leaves on the round - fully expected and normal, played winter rules. Pace of play was also very slow, with shortened day light, and sunny nice weather, everyone including me wanted to play golf.

This old course has been around a long time. Wide-open fairways for the intermediate golfer, some long-ish par three's to keep you on your toes, and fairways and mostly very good condition as opposed to many courses in Roseville now that have inexplicably fallen into disrepair. Just always tough to find it folks nice enough to repair their green ball marks, other than that, Mather is a perfect place for people that can hit the ball but might need “a little more room“, which is myself. The total antithesis to Whitney Oaks, which I’m sure you will understand once you play here.

Been playing here about once a month or so for 23 years. Staff and Restaurant are friendly and efficient as ever. Carts are great. Unfortunately it’s my understanding that ownership refused to pay for a fall punch making the greens simply beat up and terrible. The rest of the course is in real good shape, it’s just no fun to stick a green and have them roll that bumpy and uneven. C’mon guys, you get a ton of play out there and we have a bunch of choices within 39-40 minutes. Ball’s in your court.

we were teeing off on the Hole 2. One of the employees on cart saw one of us teeing off with Driver. Totally ignored us and, drove across the fairway /approximately 50 yards from the tee box. Very inappropriate and rude. It happened around 1:30PM.

They tried to put us in a fivesom, so we had to skip a hole to avoid it.

Why are the conditions of the course so bad, some dried up fairways, poorly groomed greens, some poor dirt sand traps, and no Marshall’s on course.

Starter tried to fix slow play, why so slow, it was Wednesday afternoon.

Fairway grass is missing or very short so ball is being hit off ground instead of cushion of grass.

We go often and always have fun. Always great to not to have lost 9balls after playing 😎

My first time playing this course. It's a simple layout, essentially flat, with very few doglegs or significant hazards. The greens are very well maintained, fast yet receptive. The fairways are a mix of green and brown, but not surprising given the hot summer we just got through.

Pace of play is a little bad, 8 minute tee times result in too many players and not enough holes. There were holes where 2 groups were on the tee waiting for the group in the fairway, who were waiting for the group on the green.

This is a good course for shorter hitters or beginners, because the lack of hazards off the tee and alongside the fairways means you won't lose too many balls. Also it would be an easy course to walk because it is so flat.

This course is about 45 minutes from my house, and I don't think I'd make that drive again.

I am beginning to love this course. Less crowded than other local courses. Well maintained green. Easy of getting teetimes. Friendly staffs. Great food. This course will be my home court to years to come. So blessed to have a great playground near home...

Last minute, I had the afternoon off so I checked golfnow and there was a single hot deal tee time available. Course is a little baked out and the greens were fast but bumpy. Pace was a little slow but it looked like a tournament had just finished. Since it was backed up on #16, I cut over to #11 and #12. Backed up again so snuck to #6 and finished the front nine. 21 holes played... all is good!
