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.

You mention greens needing work. We would love to know more because the greens have been playing/putting very nicely and others seem very happy with the greens conditions.

Mr Cross, as we discussed before your round. Our system does allow walking and charges accordingly, all day every day,. You chose to book a Hot Deal which is not a Mattawang Tee Time. Those hot deal times do not offer walking fees. It's seems unfair to make comments about the course which are not factual.

Good course worth playing at a hot deal price

Mattawang is a nice course, but not spectacular. The course is pretty challenging because it is long and many holes are tight because of trees and/or high grass in the rough.

The greens are really nice - soft for holding good chip shots and medium speed for putting. The fairways are good, softer than most municipal courses but not as soft as country club conditions. The rough is a problem - very patchy grass, not consistent.

Overall, a good course if you get a Hot Deal price through GolfNow.

Wonderful Day On The Course

Been playing here for the last 2.5 years and still find the course as challenging and exciting as I did day 1. The layout forces you think about every shot. Holding chips on the green and putting on fast greens are tough. Fairways and greens are in great shape overall. There are some wet, mushy spots due to the rains but they don't take away from the gameplay. Today was slow play as a single for during the week but they let me jump ahead. I'm a 7-9 handicap and typically shoot low to mid 80s there.

The course is kept up nicely especially the greens at this point in the year. Fairways unfortuntely had some significant damage spots. Nice course but a tiny bit overpriced for how the fairways were looking.

Kyle, thanks for your thoughts. The fairway damage you point out is fairly limited and is flood damage from a few weeks ago.
