Fast greens but rock hard bunkers

Greens were running fast and true, but the bunkers were rock hard underneath the surface. Marshals were present all over the course, but pace of play was still over 4 1/2 hours, unexpectedly slow for a morning round.

Awesome golf at a great price

Mather gives you a challenging course at a convenient price. Course conditions were great considering a major rain storm just passed through.

No longer worth the money

I love this course and have played it a lot. After such bad weather, it had dried out and the debris had been removed. The fairways and tee boxes were in terrible shape, greens were not bad.
I also had the first tee time of the day and had a decent front nine as far as pace of play. At the turn, they had multiple foursomes starting on the back nine. There was no structure, organization, or started facilitating this. I start at the earliest possible to have limited delays, and I ended up with more than a 3 hour back nine with the brutal groups ahead after front nine. I am not a stuck up golfer and could care less how "good" anyone is, but hitting multiple shots, marking 2 ft putts and having no Marshalls anywhere around was very disappointing.
Again, I love this course, but it is substantially higher priced than other area courses that have better course management and pace of play.

Fun round

Despite a major storm that just passed the course was in good condition. The bunkers were full of water, but that was expected. Slow round, the Marshall needs to be a little more proactive. Enjoyed the round though.

The day after…

A major storm blew thru the area the day before. Lots of downed tree’s and standing water. Despite this the course was in good shape.

Easy Course - Stress Free Round

Mather is a relatively easy course without many hazards and wide fairways. Still have to hit the ball and putt well to score like any course. Course is in pretty good condition. Greens were hard and fast. Only issue is there is too big a difference between the blue and white tees. We played the combo (blue white) and on several par fours it was between 80 and 100 yards difference. Typically you would see between 20 and 40 yard difference. Hole four is a relatively long par four from the Blue tees of almost 400 yards but only 305 from the White tees; Hole 5 over 400 yards from Blues but only 325 from White. For those of us that the Blues at 6400 yards is a bit long playing the blue white combo is only 5970 and seems too short. Would expects whites to be about 6000 and combos about 6200. Regardless this is a good course to score well and fairways roll out well but hard to keep balls on green. Good practice areas although range matts are worn and should be replaced.
