Mather Golf Course

Now that the traps have good sand and the new groundskeeper has fairways and greens in great shape, it’s on of the best kept secrets for the buck in Sacramento.

The course was not in good shape. We haven’t had any rain for over a month, and the course was muddy….even in the afternoon.

The weather was perfect but the course was still wet with slow, took 3 hours to play 9 holes

Nice course and accessible, lots of long straight drives to work your driver out. Greens were in pretty good shape despite that it was played in the middle of winter.
Only one complaint: the rate of play was slow. We waited on every tee box. It wasn't just the group in front of us either, everyone was backed up, Seems like this is the case most of the time, it was the same last time I played. Not a terrible thing, just be aware if you are booking a tee time expecting a 4.5 hour 18 hole round. It'll be more like 5.5 hours.

I love this course, even with winter conditions, but they really need to improve the pace of play. It is not a nice enough course for cart path only and if they continue that policy, they need to be more aggressive with enforcing pace of play. Also, they allowed a five some that had no monitoring and took way too long. I had to leave after only playing nine holes in 3 hours.

The course is in really good shape and while it was fully booked the pace of play was great.

Mather isn’t the most glamorous course, but it’s a solid course. Great for walking and the conditions currently are pretty good. Some areas are a little burned out but mostly in good shape. Greens aren’t the smoothest, but that’s because people just don’t take the time to fix their pitch marks.

This is my second time there. The weather was extremely hot. But kept the course running smooth. This is my second time in there. The course is typically flat. Good thing about the course it has some Par 5’s. For sure great value. They also have A golf range. Been there a few times. Every time I’ve been there you hit off the lawn

Course in good shape, light crowd, and great weather - a very nice afternoon round 4-7:30pm. Only bummer was that snack bar was closed at 5:30 and couldn’t grab a beer To payoff a bet from front nine.

I’ve played Mather golf course quite a few times over the years and this might be the best condition it’s ever been. Fairways, Tee boxes, the first cut, the greens, everything was in good condition. Also impressed that they’re installing drainage in many of the fairways. Looks like they’re maintaining the course better than years past. Not known to drain well this was a course you avoided during the winter hopefully these new drainage systems will change that.

This is a relatively easy course even when playing from the Blues which is 6400 yards. Mostly wide fairways and the ball rolls out well. One pet peeve is the difference between the white and blue tees on some holes are ridiculously long; for example from the blues it might be 417 yards from the whites it’s 325. Looks like they were adding some new T-blocks so maybe this will change in the future. Lastly pace of play today was slow; behind some matches of high school kids? Typically pace of play isn’t bad so this was an outlier.

Great course. Very clean. Good patriots all around!!
