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.

John, we appreciate you playing Mattawang. Enjoy more fall golf!
Fairways are not playable
Played 9/17. Fairways were unplayable, we weren’t even allowed to drive the carts in fairways. Drought conditions and apparent irrigation issues. Greens were in good shape but the course is not playable until fairways are fixed. Can’t believe I payed $80 for this round.
I hate to pile on, but I also played on Saturday. I understand the effect lack of rain can have on a course but Rickh69 is 100 percent correct. The greens were in great shape but the fairways were an abomination. They were beyond dry, entering into baked territory. Until that issue's figured out, I'll be taking my 80 bucks elsewhere.
Rich, sorry to see how unhappy you were on Saturday. Summer and water restrictions hav not been kind to any golf courses in the area,, but the wording of unplayable is overstated. The fairways have suffered but they are not unplayable and the only way we can keep the fairways from becoming that is to keep the carts off of them.
I see you have played here in the past and no one involved here at Mattawang likes our current situation but no one here is to blame and all we can do is try to keep what we have as good as possible.
Always a great time
Friendliest staff always at Mattawang, love playing there!!
Bob, thank you for your continued support of Mattawang. Glad to see you enjoy the club and staff!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, enjoy the remainder of the season.
Thank you! it is nice to see you enjoyed a weekend round at Mattawang. We look forward to your return.
Interesting course
Course has some interesting holes that require shot shaping as well as straight shots to score well. Nice course to play to challenge your game
We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. Glad to see you enjoyed the challenge of Mattawang.
Hope for rain!
It's sad to see a course get so damaged from the heat. A real shame because it really is a great place.
Greens were in great shape. Some fairways were burnt out, but there have been drought conditions in central NJ this summer. We played on a Sunday, teed off at 12:20 and played in less than 4 hours. We never had to wait.
Thanks Philip, enjoy the remainder of the season.
How not to treat customers
Lady at the front desk tried telling me that GolfNow messed up and canceled my tee time because I modified the tee time from 2 players to 1 via the app and instead of doing her job or listening to reason, said that they could get me out a half hour later than the tee time I had originally prepaid for. She wouldn't listen to reason and was just plain rude and argumentative.
Pleasant Experience
Course has nice layout, friendly, personable staff and very non-commercial atmosphere. No frills which I like. Good value given it was $55 with cart on a Saturday. Greens in great shape but fairways and rough were dried out and why I rated 3 stars. Understandable that no rain in this area for months. Last time I played it was much better.
We appreciate your thoughts. We are looking forward to getting the course back into our expected condition. This has been the hardest summer this area has seen in over 30 years.
Greens and tee boxes perfect.
Fairways dry, as expected.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, glad to see you understand why the course is dry.
Thanks for making the trip from Paterson.
Pro shop lady is on a power trip - poor customer service
I’ve never left a course review before, but this morning’s experience was ridiculous.
The woman running the pro shop is on a power trip- totally unreal! So NOT customer friendly.
4 paid golfers looking for a very small accommodation -that the starter was 100% OK with. The lady came out of office to yell at us on the tee box at full volume. That is how our early Sunday morning round began - not good!
We will make a point of paying our greens fees elsewhere.
It’s a shame, because it’s a nice course.
Mike, it is a shame you decided to leave out so much of the truth to the story. I heard your phone call the day before and the woman was only following through on the changes that were made in that call.
Sorry, that we treat all customers the same way and do not play favorites.
The course was in decent shape considering our lack of rain. Tee boxes and greens were excellent. The only negative thing i can say is that they should put on their website that they dont allow carts on the fairways. I can understand why but i had an older family member with me that wasn't able to do all the walking.
Thanks for leaving your thoughts.
Glad to see you enjoyed the course! Hope you will be back again soon.
