Lots of construction

Wasn't informed of irrigation construction happening on 2 holes. Basically unplayable and converted to par 3s. Also the food & alcohol prices are ridiculous.

A good city course

I have played Mather golf course several times previously. The last three times the course has been very wet with some areas of the fairways and rough being muddy, but that is due to the recent weather we have had. The greens were hard and not super receptive, but still playable. Some of the greens could use a little TLC as you can tell they’ve had a lot of play on them recently, but not the worst greens I have seen for a city course. Some of the bunkers Was like hitting out of concrete, but you can tell they are working on fixing the bunkers and adding more sand. Overall, it is a good course for a city, but it definitely needs to dry out a little bit more.

Wide open course!

Great course for a novice golfer like me. Wide open fairways. A little dry but overall it was in good shape.

Greens look great.

Meh!

Waited for groups ahead at almost every hole. Matter is a public course that is average but oftentimes the Greens fee is the same as better courses. I couldn't tell the difference between fairway grass and which either says something about the maintenance or The design.

Winter golf “wet and mushy”

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.

Course condition is good. Pace slow

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.

Wide-open

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.
