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.

Good course

I haven’t played at Mattawang in a few years, it’s kind of out of the way, but we had a nice round, the course is in very good shape. Pace of play was great, we were done in just over 3 hours, which was nice. Will be back soon

Good value, great pace

There are a lot of negative reviews on this course, coming from a low single digit handicapper who plays a lot of local golf this course offers a decent layout with some small target greens. I see a lot of complaints about the green conditions, which admittedly are patchy in spots but to say they are horrible or unplayable is absurd. For the value and including cart with the online fee I give this course a better then fair rating and would play again.

Greens are horrible

This course is a mile from my house. It was my go to course for years for a weekday afternoon round but between last year’s drought and a dry spell this spring the conditions of the greens have become almost unplayable.

Poor conditions, few amenities, not worth the money

The course itself was fair. Not really any special features and no water features. Rather flat for the most part. But the gravel cart paths, no beer carts, poorly-maintained greens, and no bar/grill means that this course is certainly not worth the $80+ price tag.
