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.

Too expensive
This course is a nice course (early in the season) but what we saw today was pretty bad. Fairways in really rough shape and the rough was so deep your gall is gone forever if you don’t keep it on the fairway. Pace of play was very slow due to a frost delay that morning. Still allowed walkers. As a way to “catch up” they could’ve given everybody a cart but there were still a ton of walkers. Bunkers were in great shape. No bev cart or hot food here either. Not a lot of amenities for the $79 price they get.
Padamo, sorry to see some of your comments. Hope you will come back for another try.
Just a fyi, we have found over many years that walkers average 16 minutes a round faster then cart riders. Sometimes things are what they seem.
Glad to see you enjoyed a nice day, thanks for taking the time to leave a review.
Fun Friday morning.
The course was in great condition. The greens were if top shape, well maintained and true rolling. The pace of play was great, 18 in 3.5 hrs. There were not many player's in the morning but we took our time playing. Great course. Will be back.
We appreciate you making the trip from the Jersey Shore! Hope to see you again soon!
Easy Tee Times, fairways damaged
My friends and I play here because we can usually get a tee time for our preferred time. Course has extensive damage due to drought in NJ over the summer. Some of the fairways are in terrible shape. No one to blame, but it is an issue. I like the layout and the greens were very good; receptive and rolling very nicely. Pace was excellent, we clocked in right at 4 hrs. I saw a ranger who informed us we were on pace but to be mindful of the group behind us. We had fallen a bit behind the group in from of us but caught back up. This was my first time interacting with a ranger on this course and I appreciate the effort to keep things moving. I think this course is pricey compared to alternatives in the area, such as Heron Glen which is vastly superior in every aspect for about the same price. Although Mattawang does allow walkers and Heron forces you to pay for a cart on weekends. I'll be back and hopefully the conditions will improve.
Hank, thanks for taking the time to leave such a thorough review. I see you already booked again for this coming Sunday, we appreciate your support while we battle back from the tough summer.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.

Thanks for making the trip from NY.
Nice course
Staff very friendly. Greens in excellent shape. Fairways were pretty bad in spots
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, glad to see you enjoyed the greens and staff. We are doing the renovation work currently to recover from a very tough summer and lack of water.
Delay
The 1.5hour frost delay was absolutely ridiculous. The maintenance man didn't seem to have a clue about what to do.
From your review I guess you do not play much fall/winter golf. Frost Delays are very common from October through early April and there is nothing the grounds crew can do except wait until the frost lifts. Otherwise walking and driving on frost. This is common at every golf course, not just here.
Mattawang
Overall nice facility... course playable but a little beat up in the fairways and rough due to previous draught in NJ... needs repairs in the fairways and rough... nice greens, fairway and rough around the greens... wherever sprinklers reached it was good... play was fun nevertheless... good pace of play...
Thanks for making the long trip from Sleepy Hollow, glad you had a fun round.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, glad to see you enjoyed the round!
Beautiful day paired up with two nice gentlemen
A beautiful day my girl and I decided to pair up with two nice gentlemen. We had a great time. After reading the reviews and knowing the course wasn't great shape it was better than expected. Both the fairways and rough were very patchy. The greens are very slow and bumpy. The course was fairly wide open and somewhat easy of a layout. I think there was one gentleman running the whole show. For the price we paid we had a great time on a beautiful day didn't expect a whole lot. If we found we're in a patch we just moved it on better grass.
Thanks Sparky
Glad to see you enjoyed another round at Mattawang!
$25 dollars Max- For this course
Images online ion Golf Now and other web sites representing this course depict the very poor condition of this course…Most times a course would call out poor conditions and adjust price and with this, then golfer can make an informed choice… I feel I got taken on this one. Will not golf here again and would advise the same for others…
Bad day
I've played mattawang many times. Course is usually in tip top shape. For $85 this was highway robbery. Fairways diseased and burnt out. In absolute disastrous conditions. The rate should've been dropped due to poor conditions. I'll be back but probably not until it's in better shape. Everything is about the $ these days.
Friendliest Staff
Mattawang is always a great course to play and the staff couldn’t be more friendly and helpful. Everyone makes you feel very welcome
Thanks Bob, we appreciate your continued support!
Del, thanks for playing Mattawang and taking the time to leave a review, glad to see you enjoyed a nice day!
