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.

Not crowded/great conditions!
... on a Saturday in June no less. I thought Mayne they had aerated since the tee sheet was so open when I checked Friday night... but no! The greens were rolling fast and true .... so i dont know why the course was so open. My 4some were all my buddies and i we were playing competitive match play (albeit quickly by most people's standards). Nobody in front of us all day! Mattawang has always been a nice track but they have upped their grooming game IMO - excellent greens/fairways/tees!!! Hopefully it'll be so wide open next time! Bravo Mattawang!!!!
Thanks for making the trip from Carteret. Nice to see you enjoyed the day.
Wide open and relaxed
Mattawang has the feel of a good public course. Tees and greens are better than typical county courses and roughly half of the holes are interesting and challenging. I only play a few rounds per year and really like the laid back and informal feel of Mattawang.
We are glad to see you enjoy Mattawang! Thanks!
Mattawang
Overall, a great value. Course was in great condition.
Thanks Jeff, glad to see you enjoyed another day at Mattawang!
Nice course great condition
Nice course great condition. The Ranger was very nice starter was good. Unfortunately no food or drinks available at course. They used to have the barbecue open on the weekends apparently not anymore. Had to wait at most holes seemed a little overbooked.
FYI - A wide variety of snacks and drinks are available in the clubhouse. Sorry you missed them.
Great Value
Course is a great value for the money that is spent.
Glad to see you appreciate the value offered at Mattawang. We look forward to your return.
Fun course. Only remark is the last two Fridays the staff cutting the fairways were on most holes and followed us up all the way to the greens without pausing the motor. Otherwise nice course and good times.
Thank you for your continued support. It is a shame that you did not recommend the course after having played here so much. The grounds crew has had a very tough year getting the course prepared due to so much rain. If you remember how wet the course was on Friday, it was clear they could not get mowers out most of last week. Sorry they were keeping the mowers running but they needed to prepare the course for the beautiful weekend.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Nice course
Greens had not been cut in a while. Other wise it was in good shape. Sand traps were good for a public course.
Thank you for leaving your thoughts. Just an fyi, the greens are cut every day.
Since we are two weeks removed from aerifying the greens they may not have been at top speed which is normal, they are cut.
Thanks for trying Mattawang for the first time, now you have to get out more then once every three months. Enjoy the game!
Mattawang is the best value for your money, in my opinion. The staff is very friendly , the course is always in great shape. Absolutely love playing there
Thanks Bob, we are very happy you love playing here. We appreciate your continued support and hope to see you again soon!
We appreciate you returning to Mattawang and glad to see you enjoyed the day.
Hope to see you again soon.

The course itself is great
I felt the course was very well maintained, the rough was longer than courses I've been to. The multiple bunkers and thick rough did make it challenging, but most of the holes were wide open from the tee. Only issue I had was I wish they had a bar/snack cart. You need to bring drinks and snacks with you, ran out before the back 9 and got really thirsty and hungry.
Thanks for leaving your thoughts. Just a fyi, we have all the snacks and drinks you could want inside. With no liquor license we have never had any demand or support with a beverage cart.
SAND TRAP GREENS
Overall the course was good except the greens were still sandy from them being aerated.
I think you will find that all top level golf courses fill the aeration holes with sand so the ball does not bounce off line and proper healing.
Course in GREAT Shape but a bit pricy for average golfer
Found the course in great condition. Fairways are plush and greens are in good shape - although recently aerated . But that needs to be done.
Unfortunately I will not be returning - too costly for a Fixed Budget.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, glad to see you enjoyed conditions.
Since you played on a Weekend, I think you will find that weekdays pricing should fit that fixed budget. Enjoy the remainder of the season.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review, glad you enjoyed your day.
Nice wide open course. An affordable good round.
Nice place. Fun. Could use a bar or beverage cart.
Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the round. We have tried a beverage cart service for many years but without a liquor license we have never had much interest or support.
