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.

Slow

Course just average..booked through Golfnow which is a walking rate..need to pay extra for gas carts. Got a good rate with promo codes..probably not worth paying more than $40
Fairways and bunkers need work, greens are small and bit slow. Decent layout with good mixture of short and long holes with some blind shots. Pace of play was slow..4hr 40min round.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. It is very possible that the 40 mph winds added to the pace of play the day of your round!

During March all golf clubs are cleaning up from Winter damage and winter course improvements. We are doing the same, I would suggest coming back in a month when conditions really should be improved!

Greens Under Repair but No Notice

If you’re going to have tarps over 3 greens, why didn’t you tell us before we booked? Ot at least tell us on the Pro Shop when we checked in. Bad business. Won’t be back again

Wgretta, that is a very different opinion then most and pretty misleading.

To be accurate, on the 3 greens referenced there is coverage for the winter on 1/4 of each of those greens and all of the coverage is on corners of greens not where actual putting is being done.

We are trying out best to have the greens 100% for the Spring. All 18 holes are open and very playable.

Course in great shape

I have read other reviews, people seem to have super high standards. This is a privately owned course and the staff do a fantastic job of keeping the course in playable condition. The greens are the highlight of the course Moderate to fast speed and pure rolls The fairways are in fine shape and the rough is kept low so it doesn’t really impact play. If you appreciate early golf course design you will appreciate the course
