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.

What happened?

I use to play here a few times a year. Was never like top shelf but always worth the trip. I paid $65 for the round with cart. Not a terrible price and was thinking great value from my past experiences. Man I was wrong. Fairways beat the heck, many of the greens had so many rough spots. My buddies and I couldn’t believe how much it has changed.

The one positive was the course was wide open and our foursome finished in 3hrs. That alone may be good enough for another shot next season.

Nice layout

First time playing this course, interesting layout and a good mix of scoring and challenging holes! A 223 yd par 3 and Home 17 being ALMOST driveable for me, made for some fun choices. It’s late in the season so some of the fairways were a little burned out and patchy (we haven’t had enough rain!), but the greens were in decent shape and rolled pretty true despite being sanded.

Pace got a little slow on the back 9, but that’s to be expected for a Saturday morning.

Would love to come back here earlier in the season and maybe during the week when it’s less crowded!

Hidden Gem

This course presents a challenge to the most skilled player and is open enough to make the game fun for a beginner. I am surprised how easy it is to get a tee time most days. I would recommend Mattawang to any one who wants to play a fun round of golf.

Getting worst

It used to be considered course but i played today and will never come back as long as they will improve on fairway and tee box

Blue and white tee box was not bad but lady’s tee box is never flat (complaint from wife)

Fairways is worst, many dried grass

Green is very slow

Need more course management

Not worth $80 its more like county golf course around $40

Layout is good

Needs some work

Greens surprisingly were in good shape. Too many fairways had burned out patches, and the sand traps were packed with hard sand,

Pace of play was fine

Conditions

I have played here several times. The course is usually in very good condition. This time, though, there were more than a few brown spots on the fairways and greens. Overall, it was still very playable, and I enjoyed the round.
