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.

Thanks!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Glad to see you enjoyed conditions.
Mattawang in great shape!
Played this course for 30 years and it’s never been in better shape! Greens perfect running true; fairways plush and rough playable and not a leaf to be seen. Traps have new sand - way to go Mahlon! Special kudos for staff at desk Joyce - for doing the hard work and cheerfulness. The perfect day.
For starters, thank you very much for playing Mattawang for 30 years! Glad you had the 'Perfect Day"!
The grounds crew has worked shorthanded all year and done a great job, their efforts have led to our nice conditions. Also, thanks for pointing out the hard work that Joyce has put in, she has been a tremendous asset to the staff and the club for many years. Keep coming for another 30! Thanks
Third Time
Glad we found this course. We live in Morris County and this is closer than some county courses.Narrow fairways make accuracy key. Not a lot of trees so not a lot of leaves, which is a big plus this time of year Greens are in great shape. Snacks but no grill or beverage cart. We'll play there again.
Thanks Ram, we are glad to see you enjoy layout and conditions.
Drinks and Snacks are available in the Pro Shop daily. Enjoy the remainder of the fall!
Another great day
Another enjoyable day at Mattawang. Course is nice and green like it has been all year. Compliments to the team at Mattawang. They have maintained the course beautifully all year and very friendly staff. Also a very solid test from the tips. Played in 4:10 on a busy saturday. Cant ask for more. Keep up the great work
Thank you for your continued play at Mattawang. It is nice to see that enjoy the challenge of Mattawang and conditions. The grounds crew has worked hard all season.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.
I've always liked this course!
The course was in great shape, but players need to be reminded to rake the traps. They were a mess with footprints.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. It is nice to see that you like the course!
Getting golfers to rake the bunkers has long been an issue and since Covid it has been even more difficult. We are trying! Thanks
Nice and not crowded
We were able to play 18 holes in 3 hours. Some greens need some maintenance. Overall it was pleasant. We’ll come back.
Thanks for playing Mattawang.
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.
Best Maintained Course this Year
Course was in fabulous shape from tee to greens. Pace of play was fine and cost was fair. Always a challenge on this course but it is always enjoyable.
We really appreciate the nice comments. It is great to see you enjoyed the conditions, the crew has worked hard all year.
Hope to see you again this fall. Enjoy your golf!
Price too high...system does not allow price for walking
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.
Enjoy your hot deals.
Thanks for the kind words, hope you will return to play Mattawang again soon!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, glad to see you enjoyed your round!
Hope to see you again soon!
Slow but good
Started late snd we had an 828 tee time so idk how that happened. Then we were backed up all day. Course was in good shape and if was a pretty nice course.
We appreciate your thoughts.
Enjoy the remainder of the golf season.
Thanks Dano, nice to see you back at Mattawang!
