Mattawang Golf Club has changed very little since it first opened in 1960. The traditional layout has withstood the test of time as a challenging but playable layout. The course was designed to blend seamlessly into the natural setting while still testing your shot-making skills. You won’t find any man-made water hazards or artificial mounding on this golf course, instead you’ll be challenged by natural streams and ponds and mature evergreens. At first glance, the layout is seemingly wide open, but don’t let your guard down because the fairways are actually quite tight and many of them are strategically lined with trees. In keeping with the time it was built, the greens are smaller than those you would find on most modern golf courses and heavily protected by sand traps. Over the years, Mattawang Golf Club has built a reputation for having some of the well maintained putting surfaces in the area.

Course conditions are at their best from fairways to greens. Kudos to the maintenance crew. Played in 4 hours on a Monday. Worth the trip!

Great course made bad by pace of play

5:15 minute round with a 3 hour back 9 because groups tend to visit the clubhouse at the turn and the Marshalls do nothing to help things along when that happens. The Marshall saw 2-3 groups backed up at 10 and said it was fine - we exchanged words and he dug his heels in. I was always under the impression that waiting 5-10 minutes at each tee box made for a poor experience. Course is nice but for $80+ a 5+ hour round is a disappointment.

Looks easier than it is

I’m a 16 handicap and getting from tee to green not to hard if you’re in the fairway. The rough is long and thick.The greens are fast and hard (I hit some great shots or I thought that ran off or bounced off by 9-10 yards. I played from white tees so around 6350 yards

The next down is 5600 and change something in between around 6000 would be great. But well kept and being the first out we were done in under 3 hours

Great find

We have been playing here for several years. Always in good shape, narrow fairways so expect to be playing from adjacent holes. Only drawback is lack of food/grill/bar but don’t let that stop you from playing here.

Just golf

This is a fun course to play. Always in good shape with real sand in the bunkers, not dirt or hardpan. Very friendly, helpful staff. Driving range and putting green. Only drawback is lack of food and no liquor license. Don’t let that stop you from playing here. Narrow fairways but not a lot of trees so you’re frequently playing from an adjacent fairway.

Good value

Course was in good shape. Greens were small but in nice condition. They used to have hot dogs at the turn but I guess that’s long gone. No drinking water anywhere on the course. Bring something

Easy Mr. Ranger

Overall the round was good. Conditions and everything else were good in relation to the physical game of golf. However, at around hole 13, a ranger approached us to remind us we were 5 minutes behind pace of play… The next closest group was 2 holes behind us, and we finished the round in 3.5 hours as a foursome.
