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.

Love the course and layout. Fungus on greens and terrible pace of play

Many greens had a fungus and a few even were roped off in sections. Same for some fairways.

Pace of play was terrible for a 740am tee time. Starter did talk to the slow group twice but nothing changed.

Can be so much more

Mattawang has the structure to be a very good course. It just needs more attention to the course. Greens had some bare spots and rough patches. Some greens were a little choppy. No food or drinks at the turn. You would have to drive to the pro shop across the parking lot. No water stations on the course although there were boxes for water coolers, many of which were in bad condition. Also no cart on the course selling drinks, so unless you brought your own, you were out of luck. It wouldn’t take much to take this course to the next level.

Skip for Now

Loved Matawang a few years back. Challenging layout, some fun holes. Fair cost for a course with a practice range.
No course management. Extremely slow play on Sunday. Need a ranger out there guys.
Course was in rough shape. Fairways and especially the greens. Lots of damage to areas in play.
Worth the money in the past. Skip and play elsewhere till course improves.

Much Improved conditions

Played a month earlier and the conditions were a little rough due to a lot of rain. Now they are much improved with some greens and other areas under repair but getting much better. Should look great in a couple weeks as long as the weather cooperates

Overpriced for the conditions

Almost all the greens were in terrible shape. Dirt spots all over them. Fairways and tee boxes were in decent shape.
