About
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.

Thank you, it is nice to see you enjoyed your round at Mattawang. We look forward to your return.
Great Course
The course was great so I have no complaints. The course layout is challenging and the fairways and greens were is great shape. The greens are smallish and elevated which provides protection. The course is a little hard to find but the drive is well worth it as you pass through countys founded as early as 1706. The route I took from my sister's Somerset house tool me over one lane bridges which are common on county roads which displays the rich NJ character.
We appreciate you making the trip to Mattawang and taking the time to leave a review. Enjoy the season!
Thank you very much, it is nice to see you enjoyed the round at Mattawang!
Good luck with your golf this season.
Decent round after a rainy night
The tees and greens were in good shape with some of the fairways still recovering from last seasons water restrictions but overall the course was in playable shape. Unfortunately, we started behind a 8some so the pace of play was painfully slow and our 4some was frustrated by the turn and the round took us a little bit over 5 hours to finish
We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. I feel it is important for the readers to realize there are never more golfers then foursomes allowed in a group. So this must mean back to back foursomes and not 8some.
My new favorite course
Can always get tee times on golf now.
Challenging layout in very good shape.
Fun to play
Thank you Tim, we are more then happy to be your new favorite course!
We appreciate you making the trip from PA and look forward to your return. Enjoy the season!
Nice greens & layout
Course was in very good shape. Greens putted true and course is challengingly long from the white tees. There is room to spray it on most holes so you can air it out. 11th tee box was closed and the temporary tees were on the side of a hill which was annoying. Th 5th fairway at the 100 yard marker was nasty but overall the fairways were pretty good. I like the course a lot and will be back for sure
Thanks Tim,, glad to see you enjoyed the day!
The greens are true and on the fast side
The course played long..the day I played the wind effected our drives and iron shots. Small fast greens were difficult to hit..a few fairways need to be repaired.
We rolled the ball over to overcome the dead spots.
Thank for making the trip from Staten Island. Glad to see you enjoyed the greens.
You are correct on the fairways. We had some water restrictions late last summer and the fairways have been slow to heal. There is plenty of seeding in the ground and we should be back to our normal conditions very soon.
Great course
Fairways nice and cut short, second cut and rough look fantastic. Greens rolling beautifully for this time of year!! Hidden Gem.
Thank you Matt, we appreciate the kind words and you taking the time to leave a review.
Enjoy the remainder of the season!
Love playing this course
For April, the course is in amazing condition.
Joyce in the proshop is such a great person. The course pro, Mahlon Dow runs a great facility.
Jeff, thank you very much for the kind words. It is great to see how much you enjoy playing Mattawang!
We look forward to your return soon, hit it solid!
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, glad to see you enjoyed your visit.
Always in really good shape
Course is always in really good shape. Most times the pace of play is good, yesterday was bad. No ranger on the course to keep things moving and there was a super slow 4some. My past experiences though have been great. Just one of those days....
Dano, glad to see you are back for another season. I know you enjoy fast rounds but there was a ranger on the course Wednesday. The golf course was playing difficult and the ranger was focusing on those that needed more attention then the quicker players.
Terrible Fairways
Fairways are in terrible shape. Most you can’t find a grass spot to place your ball. Greens are ok but clearly haven’t been cut yet.
Peter, sorry to see your unhappiness after all the rounds you have played here.
We were under water restrictions the end of last summer and could only water Greens and Tees. At this point we can only wait until Mother Nature warms to grow all the seeding that was done over the fall.
An fyi - the greens have been cut and rolled since the March 24 and 90% of our golfers have commented on how exceptional they are rolling for the first week of April.
Mattawang needs some work….
Many tee boxes are under repair. Many fairways are under repair too, and the ones that aren’t under repair, need to be. Hard to find a decent lie on the entire course. I realize it’s March, but this course isn’t going to be much better once it warms up. 60 for this course is highway robbery. Neshanic is 60 and it’s playing great right now. So are the rest of the county courses in Somerset county. Will not be coming back.
Thanks Murph!
