Sacramento County operates Mather Golf Course on the grounds of the former Mather Air Force Base, which closed in 1993 and has since been redeveloped into a mixed-use community and business park. The course occupies land that still carries the wide, open geometry of a military installation — broad fairways, generous sight lines, and a flat terrain that gives the layout an honest, unpretentious character. It's a genuinely accessible public option in the eastern Sacramento metro, drawing everyday players who want a full round without the formality or expense of a private club.
The surrounding landscape is classic Sacramento Valley: open skies, summer heat that can be intense, and the kind of dry, golden-brown rough in late season that punishes wayward drives without hiding them. The base's legacy means the land is unusually spacious for a municipal layout, and that breathing room defines how the course feels to walk or ride.
For golfers in the greater Sacramento area, Mather represents the county's commitment to affordable public golf — a straightforward test that rewards ball-striking and course management without resorting to manufactured difficulty.
