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.

One of the Best Values
I am not sure why this course is not fully overbooked. Third time playing this year, as expected conditions getting better and better each time. Staff is friendly and accommodating,. Pace of play started slow yesterday, but ranger/starter was right on it. Got the groups to move and played in a little over 4 hours with our whole group walking. The greens are a tad furry and on slow side. However that is most likely due to time of the season and weather. The WHITE tees are a good challenge. There is enough distance and challenge. Its too bad this so far from our homes, they would have a dozen more golfing members if closer.
Simple layout
Simple layout, small greens make it the challenge though. Not going to really pressure your game tee to green but definitely some tee shots you have to play smart. Greens were slow this time of year but rolled nicely.
Thank you for making the trip from Brooklyn this past weekend. Glad you enjoyed the challenge of Mattawang.
If these small greens do not put pressure on your iron game you must be an excellent iron player! Enjoy the regular season!
Thank you for playing Mattawang and leaving a review. You will really enjoy conditions soon when more work can get completed. Enjoy the season.

Course average overall. Pace of play needs improvement
Course average overall. If pace of play can be improved, it would be good.
Lushen, thank you for playing Mattawang. 40 mph winds made for a tough day for all our golfers to get around quickly.
I notice all your reviews are for courses in the winter months in New Jersey. I think you will find courses to be much nicer after early April.
Thanks for leaving your thoughts, hope to see you soon.
Fun Course
Considering the weather we've experienced the course was a lot of fun.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. Glad you enjoyed the course!
You will love it when weather allows to make continued improvements. Hope to see you soon.
Thanks for playing Mattawang after the long snow delay!
Please come back and see us this spring!
Thank you very much for playing Mattawang in January and taking the time to leave a review.
We look forward to you returning this Spring!
Thank you for joining us for some January golf. Hopefully, you will return this spring when we get into regular course conditions.
Wide open layout
Played on a day that was 40 deg. Course was empty with only a 2-some trailing us. We walked course . Decent overall condition for winter. Many Temporary tee boxes due to frozen ground. Greens in good shape but very firm in cold. Course is wide open and forgiving but some par 4’s are long and challenging.
We appreciate you leaving a review. Just to clarify, the greens were frozen, thus firm. Hopefully you will return this spring when we return to our normal conditions.
Thanks for joining us for some January winter golf! Glad you enjoyed the round.
Great course and value
This course has some really great holes. A short par 4, long par 3, blind tee shot, and more. Tough approaches to the greens as they are usually guarded by bunkers on both sides. For end of December the course played great. Staff was extremely friendly and the women behind the counter was great with handling a pretty busy day. Awesome course.
Mathew, thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the day!
We look forward t seeing you again soon.
Best public course in NJ
I was Impressed how this course is well kept. We play in December and the greens were hard and the fairway was a little muddy. But the layout is really good and open. Nice place to play. I would love to play this course in the spring. A must play.
Thanks for the kind words!
We are glad to see you enjoyed the course. The greens were frozen solid on Monday so that is why they were hard and the fairways were thawing. Please come back in the spring/summer, you will love it then.
Very Average
Your typical public golf course built in the 60s. Very tiny greens.
Pat, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I hope you will come back next spring because it is hard to be much above average in December.
Donald, we really appreciate you playing Mattawang three times already.
The greens did begin to get some growth on Friday but they will be cutting again daily now. Hope you will be back to play us all season! Enjoy
