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.

It was my first time playing the course. I checked out the website and it said there was a range and when I got there they didn't have a driving range..

Rolando, the range was open and quite busy on Saturday. The driveway coming into the property runs along side of the range.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, hopefully next time you can enjoy the range as well.

Tougher than it appears

Course is in immaculate condition. While not the longest course I have played, the blue tees did offer difficult looks and long irons to the greens that did not hold the ball.

Strongly recommend that you play the par 3s carefully. These can be really difficult along with some long par 4s on the back nine.

Thank you for trying Mattawang. We appreciate your well thought out review.

The course does play harder then it looks both on the scorecard and in person. There are some subtle design aspects that are not often seen in modern designs. Enjoy the remainder of the season!

Steve, thanks a lot! I passed on your feedback to the grounds crew and it is much appreciated! From my view they are doing an outstanding review and they have been 3 men short all year. Hope to see you again soon.

Just wish that you didn't have to pay in advance. I also c play with three senior and we didn't have an options to pay senior prices. Other then that the staff is friendly and the course is in great shape. It would be nice if you brought back the 5 game stamp card.

Day off golf

Course is truly in the country. Quiet surroundings and a relaxing round with great scenery. Greens are very small, and course is long. Greens are in fantastic shape and fairways are good for the most part, other than some dirt patches due to recent floods. Would play again.
