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.

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.

Nice day to play.

The course was in great condition. The green were in great shape just dry, hard and fast. You needed to flop the shot on or just be short and bounce onto the green.

Will be back soon.

Glad to see you enjoyed conditions.

I understand your thoughts on the food at the turn but the amount of people who were eating on a regular basis was very limited. That along with nationwide Food and Beverage staffing issues have made it impossible to continue, at least for now.

Average course.

Pros

Greens were firm and elevated. Made it a good challenge.

6500 yards. Good distance.

Friendly staff

Course was in pretty good shape.

Cons

No restaurant or bar

Allowed walkers on Sunday morning. Slowed play.

Thought it was slightly overpriced

Live 45 minutes away. Would not make the trip for this course but fine if you’re local.

We appreciate your time and thoughts, however we have found that allowing walkers on weekends actually speeds up play. Through many years of timing the same golfers, walkers play 16 minutes faster then riders. This also saves the price sensitive golfers some money.
