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.

Overbooked

They over booked and the started followed everyone around the course telling them they were two slow, when we waited every hole for the group in front. People were screaming four the whole day, because we were on top of each other. The golfer with us was hit in the ankle with a ball. Never experienced such a bad of golf.

Just to clarify, 70 degrees in November makes for a popular golf course. The course was not overbooked, however the course was 100% full of available tee times.

The two rangers that day did their best to keep everyone moving to a enjoyable pace. I received many compliments about the job that was done. Sorry you do not agree.

Need to pay attention to detail

I requested in my reservation that I would like individual carts and would pay the extra fee . When I got there they were totally oblivious to the request and could not fulfill we negotiated for three carts ( split the difference ) I tried to explain that if they communicated prior to coming I could have decided to cancel , PS they. Did charge me the extra for the two carts which since they screwed up the could have given gratis

Hi Warren, thank you for your feedback, however the club never received any notice on you wanting individual carts. I also can not find where this request may have gone. Bookings are handled via third party.

In the future PLEASE call the pro shop on the phone for such requests and we can add the notes onto your tee time and you can avoid further issues!

Had a 9am tee time that was pushed back an hour and a half for a frost delay. Course is in great shape other then a handful of closed tee boxes.

Dominick, glad to see you enjoyed the design and the challenge of Mattawang!

I wish we could control frost and the delays the frost causes, but this time of year it is always questionable.

Long but flat

The legend is the Jack Nicklaus hold the course record and it easy to see why. It's a long and pretty flat course. If you hit it long and straight (not me) you can should go low. The par 3s are pretty long with one being 225 from the white tees. Course in decent shape except the tee boxes which have been let go. It does have a a practice range which is good. Worth it for $38 to walk

Yes! You are correct. Jack Nicklaus holds the course record of 66 which he set at a event here in 1962! The course has stood the test of time and changes! Thanks
