Mattawang Golf Club

We have played here about a dozen times in the last three years. No bar or restaurant, no drink cart just basic golf. Pace of play is generally good. There is real sand in the bunkers, not like the dry dirt in some other courses. Narrow fairways but not a lot of trees so don't be surprised if you're playing from the adjacent fairway. Obviously I enjoy playing here otherwise I wouldn't have gone back so many times.

Yesterday (11 June 2023) was my 3rd time playing here and booked it for Fathers Day with my son. Nice small warm up range which uses "floater" balls is perfect to get in some swings and the practice putting green next to the parking lot is in great condition. Love the conditions of the tee-boxes and greens. Almost every tee box is crowned in the middle except the par 3 3rd hole. Most if not all greens are sloped back to front just the way they should be. Two (2) fairways (5th, and i think the 11th) have some weed overgrowth but they are small areas and not a major deal.
Been playing nearly 30 years and yesterday I shot shot even par 36 on the front 9 with birdies on holes 2 & 5. I must've ran out of gas in the heat on the back nine and my 8.5 index came back to life! 5 double bogeys, +11, shot 83 total. SMH. about 45 minutes from Staten Island, NY and we will be back many more times! Especially after yesterdays best nine for me and after finding out an extra 9 or 18 holes can be had by paying an additional cart fee (if the course is not booked out).

Usually the course is in better shape, but for a prepay course the fairways were awful, they are losing greens and pace of play was over 4 hours 45 minutes!! Not again, Sorry

Course was in great condition for the money. Highly recommended.

This was once one of my favorite courses in the area. I was shocked to find no drinking water out on the course. Also there is no place to get any food. The course maintenance was average to below average. For the money there are better options in the area.

Great weather. Course was busy but pace of play was moving. Course conditions are better and better every time I come back following last years drought.

It’s definitely a fun little track that makes you hit some shots..

Bad luck that the greens were still recovering from a punch/covered in sand, and tee boxes could be flatter with a trim.

$80 for an out of towner on a weekend - seems about right these days

Course conditions were decent, but the round was 5 hours long. My group waited on every shot from start to finish, with at least two groups in front of us doing the same

First time and really liked it. The course slowly picked up in challenge and character and I truly enjoyed. Parts of the fairways still wore scars of last years drought, but conditions were good. Will definitely come back.

Staff was extremely nice and the course was ok. Greens were airated and not in great sharp. Course was in good condition and was fun to play

Course looks better week after week following last years drought.

We have played Matawang quite a few times prior. Like most any public course, it could be hit or miss with the quantity of golfers and their effect on pace of play. This time we hit it just right. We were a twosome playing a late morning round (Hot Deal) paired up with another two golfers. The groups ahead and behind were spaced out nicely. There was no waiting or feeling of being rushed. We did let a single play through which did nothing to affect our comfortable three and a half hour round.
The course was (is) in great shape. Green, lush, and well manicured. The greens are firm, fast and challenging. Overall a great place to play and a great value even without a discount. The only downside is a lack of amenities in the pro shop. Matawang really could use a small bar/grill for a post round snack/drink. Still it's the right place for a great round of golf.
