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.

Always a great round!

Mattawang always delivers on a beautiful stroll thru nature. It is wide open enough to spray your shots and still get back into play. And it is keeps you on your toes as errant shots penalize you. Tee boxes, fairways and greens in really good shape. Bunkers just a little inconsistent with depth and quality of sand. There were plenty of people on the course but the pace of play was still very good. Staff was friendly. Looking forward to coming back.

We look forward to your return as well. It is nice to see you enjoy the course and the surroundings.

We are also in agreement on the bunkers. Consistency has been an issue and we need to develop a long term drainage plan which will help! Thanks

Ehh

Solid track, should be in better condition based off amount of rain we got this summer. Greens were good as always but the more I play this course the less I’m a fan of it. Solid C+ B-

Nice round

Course was in great shape. Greens where nice and smooth with few brown spots. Fairways and rough was good too. No ball washers or water on course. No hot food served or lunch served. Some tee boxes need to be flatter, not mounded . Overall a great day!

Sand traps

We were out early and it didn’t seem traps were raked and pretty obvious players didn’t rake.

Overall course was in very good condition considering the heat and no rain

Would play again
