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.

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.

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.

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.

As a first team (two some), it took 2 hour-45 minute for 18 holes walking. Staffs are friendly as usual and this course becomes a favorite course from our group. Good layout of the course.

Always a good day spent. The layout isn't overly challenging or long, but small greens and a number of bunkers around them never fail to present a challenge. A great walking course and living in Somerset County, it's a nice local option.

Nice but not great

Greens in great shape. Not many trees so not many lost balls. Pace of play was good, just about 4 hours. A little pricey considering lack of amenities, no food or drink service, one portable restroom on the course, cart paths could use some work.
