Went here for a company event and I had a good first «golfing» experience. It was a well maintained course, and they had all the little golf carts ready and lined up for us.
I won’t even pretend to know a little bit about golf, but I had a good enough time that if I was with some folks who wanted to go golfing I’d suggest trying this spot out :)

We had 4 tee times this morning and Mather puts there regular golfers in front of our tee times. Not good Customer Service.

I had the same experience as Richard, it’s not that great of a course but for the money I play there or did, don’t think I will be back though. The manager and starter feel as if there all of that and a bag of chips… can’t deal with the attitudes! To bad, it’s convenient

Mather GC is in great shape. I played yesterday morning and everything from the tee boxes, fairways and greens were pristine. I was told the rough was well maintained but I never went there. Ha! The course is long and flat and if you play the tips it is 6700 yards. They have plenty of bunkers that were well placed and I got a lot of use out of my SW. The greens had fair break. This place is great for the beginner and the intermediate golfer.

My friend is a Veteran (Coast Guard) who played Mather today. He was surprised to find out that there were no discounts for Veterans. I think it’s ironic that the clubhouse has photos wrapping the walls in a tribute to the Air Force and all the brave men and women that fought in WWI & WWII for our country and freedom. The County of Sacramento and the Regional parks system should be ashamed of themselves!

We golfed for the second time at this course on October 9. The staff in the pro shop both times were «stuffy». The starter was a likeable friendly sort. The deal breaker was when we were finishing up the 16th hole when a smart punk kid acting in the capacity of course marshal stopped by and rudely informed us that we «needed to keep up with the group in front of us» and «15 minutes per hole is the pace of play». As he pulled away, we noted that the group ahead of us hadn’t even left the17th hole green yet!
Our group respects the rules of golf and pace of play. The marshal was out of line lecturing us regarding pace of play when the group ahead was still on the green.

Played here last week and the course was in better than expected condition considering the drought. The greens were in remarkable shape, the best I’ve seen in years.

I’m driving to the Mather subdivision and one of their golf balls hits my car straight on the side. As I was heading to an appointment, I was unable to drive to the course and I called them instead.
Their representative said they would try to find the person who hit the ball in that direction, but since they had posted a sign, they relieved themselves of any liability.
We all know that 1. No one will admit to hitting the ball, and 2. Their fence is very inadequate, which means that every car driving in and out of their own neighborhood is at risk of being hit and potentially injured in a collision.
Hopefully this business can make an actual fence before something tragic happens.

The course itself is OK. Typical city run course in decent shape. Nothing fancy. Very flat. There are some thin spots in the fairways, but the greens are in decent shape.
HOWEVER, where this course really suffers is the attitude of some of the employees. In the pro-​shop, Alyssa acts like she is much too good to be dealing with customers. Generally rude every time I’ve been here. Some of the starters suffer from poor customer service as well. Give someone a clip board and a radio and they suddenly become VERY important. The last two times I played here, I felt like I was going through security at the airport. If the TSA is their customer service model, I say: mission accomplished!
To be fair, not all the employees suffer from a lack of basic customer service skills, but there are enough to take the fun out of your round.

I really like all the people who work at this course. All of the employees are very nice and helpful. The course has a really good layout and they keep it in good shape. I always enjoy to laying this course. I play here after work a couple times a week when I’m in the Sac area for work and I’m lucky it’s the closest course to me.

The greens and fairways are well kept and maintained and they just redid the greens. Been here a couple times in the last couple weeks and I’ve been very pleased with the course conditions and the price. Would certainly encourage others to take a day and play this course.

I really dislike this course. Dry, no amenities, terrible greens, just TERRIBLE! Greens were the same length as the rough. T Boxes are super SEXIST. When I am out there, I know I am playing the course. But me Tee’n off at the same T Boxes with the men? REALLY? Average drive for men is at least 239 yards. Even my 175 yard drive down to the middle won’t keep me up with them. Long Par 3s for ladies. 150? Can’t use my driver for that? WTH. Smh. I will NEVER play this course again. Especially in tournaments. Oh, where the hell were the restrooms besides the club house???

I played here recently while on vacation. Obviously this is an older course and plays very flat, no real uphill or downhill to it. It’s nice but I feel very average. Worth a stop but keep your expectations in check.

Excellent course — for a decent price. Very efficient management and friendly staff. Course is well maintained, starter does a good job coordinating between the pro shop, the group teeing off and the group recently off. Course is mature, but not over-​run with trees. Additionally, pro-​shop has good prices and nice Mather vests, shirts, golf balls, etc. Highly recommended.

A good course that is usually in great shape. It is very playable for beginners yet offers some challenges for the intermediate players. It has lighted driving range with good practice areas. Staff is really friendly and they have good prices on gear at the pro shop. This course is one that can and should be walked if you’re playing the early, early morning. The pace of play usually average (about 15mins per hole).

I like it because it is open and I suck at golf, currently!

My understanding is my sister was the first to book a wedding here so I was a little worried things would go array. It is a small venue, which was perfect for her because she wanted a small intimate gathering.
There was a tournament the day of the wedding, which was scheduled before her wedding was booked so don’t get your Unilocaling panties in a bunch for them double booking, she knew. They went a little over and we started a little early but it worked out; the golfers allowed us to take a few pre-​ceremony photos on the course and they took a quick break from their round as they hit on the bridesmaids. Hey, give and take people.
They ceremony was short and sweet and completely, them. The reception area/​gazebo was a charm. Cute, romantic and just enough room to fit their little party of about 100 guest in with a dance floor still.
Perfect fit for my little sissy.

I took Friday off with a few buddies and headed out to Mather for a round of golf. Haven’t played out here in probably three years. We used the Entertainment coupon for a buy a green fee, get one free. It only cost us 30 bucks each with a cart. Course was in really good shape. Greens were in AWESOME shape. I am going to be honest, I only had two pars and no birdies. I know, I suck, but I can admit this. I ended up shooting a 112. Yep, that means I was 40 over. Who is awesome? Well, not really me, but screw it, YEAH, I AM AWESOME! Funny thing is I wasn’t even the highest score out of our foursome. How sad is that? No, really, that is super sad to lose to me. Anyway, it was a lot of fun and I hit enough good shots to make me not hate golf completely. Mather gets a big olé thumb up from me.

I’m new to the game of golf (for crying out loud how did I get myself into this game?!) and Mather Golf is a great course for me. Wide, forgiving fairways, pleasant people, inexpensive fees and good beer at the pub make this course a great way to spend an afternoon. The better players I play with tend to like the course as well: the grounds are well-​kept and the greens are nicely maintained — and the good beer in the pub.
We especially like going late on a Sunday: Our pace of play is that of a three-​toed sloth sometimes and typically everyone just gets along. It’s also kid’s hour at that time — our kids love running around like wildlife while we hack away.
