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.

Go the distance

Hole length made the course challenging; 3 par threes about 180+ yards; multiple Pat fours greater then 400+ yards, at least one par five greater then 500 yards; played from the standard tees (between the senior tees and the highly skilled tees).

Pleasant day

The course is good except the bunkers were not in good condition... maybe because of all the rain in the past few days

We appreciate you making the trip from NY.

The bunkers took 3.5 inches of rain over 48 hours. We are planning on restoring the bunkers as soon as time, the weather and play allows.

Due to recent heavy 2 days of rain the bunkers were filled with water and no real dry areas. Greens good and consistent. Fairways mowed well almost all green. First cut consistent and uniform throughout. Slightly up in price from years past. No real wait and good pace.
