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.

Very good course

Fifth time playing here, glad we found it on GolfNow. Greens in great shape and the bunkers have real sand, not hard packed mud like so many others we have played. Narrow fairways but not a lot of trees so it’s pretty easy to find your errant shots. Cold weather may have kept some people away but we played 18 in under four hours.

Beautiful greens

Fourth time playing this course, greens are in great shape. Narrow fairways make it challenging. Not a lot of elevation changes but not flat either.

First Time Playing

Had a great time!

The staff was friendly. The woman working the front desk gave me discounts on a fleece and a hat I bought. There was a 30 minute frost delay but we were the third group out. The course played nice, wide open and easy to find your ball if you miss the fairway. There is one par 3 that is 220 yards which I loved. The starter gave some helpful tips to what to look because it was my first time there. Overall had a great time would play again.

Too crowded

There were too many people on the course and the pace of play was very slow. Not only that but the golfers behind us were hitting right into us.

Not the courses fault. But they put too many people out at a time.

We appreciate your thoughts, it should be noted that the day you played, we had an hour frost delay, a sold out tee sheet and a 60 degree day in November.

Starter is awful course is great

Play this course regularly and never usually write reviews but had the same utterly despicable starter from the last two round here and both times he has been absolutely horrible person to encounter, has a god complex and then talks to people in the most demeaning manner, great course overall and the other starter is a joy but you better hope to not run into this other guy, never had problems here before this guy

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Your comments about the starter are very odd given his 20 years of service here, that so many have enjoyed. Without further information, I can only assume this was in reference to the extra cart that was desired. Hopefully, you will return and enjoy the course the way you have in the past.
