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.

First Time Playing

One of the best public courses w/in an hour of NYC

Really a great course, great conditions, attention to greens, and great pace of play by the course not over loading groups. Only thing missing is a good 9th hole canteen and some cart beverages going around.

Great Course

We make the trip from Union County to play Mattawang well worth the trip every time. Played course today only a few days after the storm and the course was in great condition remarkable considering what went on in that part of the state. Special thanks to Joyce, Cornel and Mahlon for their wonderful service and considerations. See you guys soon

Great round!

Even though it just had a hurricane storm come through two night prior, overall conditions were not bad at all! I’ve played wetter courses with less rain than came through this area. Props to the maintenance team and friendly staff! Walked and had a good time!
