Maderas Golf Club
About
Maderas Golf Club is one of San Diego's most popular courses. Although it is less than an hour from Torrey Pines, it has a stunning landscape and challenging design that rivals that of the famed seaside course. Maderas may not have the ocean views, but its beautiful landscape provides just as much scenery. Nestled inland amongst rolling hills, the golf course weaves through rocky cliffs and outcroppings. There are mature trees throughout as well as a meandering creek and over forty acres of native wildflowers. There are three sparkling lakes and five waterfalls that come into play on the course. The demanding layout features difficult greens that are large and lightning fast. Several tricky uphill and downhill lies can be found throughout Maderas Golf Club thanks to the hilly terrain.

Excellent gol course
Beautiful golf course, nested in a wonderful landscape
Best course in San Diego
I take all of my out of town guests here before any other place and they are so thrilled. Every hole is different and super fun. The conditions are fabulous and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The price is on the higher side as you get what you pay for.
Every day at maderas is a good day.
How Slow Can You Go
Painful pace of play accentuated by non existent marshals and a Pro Shop that could care less. Drove off at 13 after 5.5 hours. On top of that they allowed an 8some to play further aggravating the situation.
For the amount of money they want, you can certainly do better!
GREAT COURSE. LOVED THE GREENS
I played this course while visiting town for a conference. Great course. Loved the range. Great course. The back nine is good until you finish 15. A bit of a bottle neck there. But it was a Saturday at the end of the day so that can be expected. I will come back again.
Very nice
Really nice course. With all the rain the greens were a little soft but nothing they can do about that. All in all great course forsure. Definitely want to play again.
Awful Course Management
Tough course but ill managed. 6 hours to play! Unmanaged. For $220 I expect to play under 5 hours. Allowing 8 zones to play is inexcusable!
Find another course to play!
Cart Path Only
Course was in rough shape after a big rain and “cart path only” made the round unenjoyable for my larger friends. Courses should give a break on price when this happens. Also didn’t like being surprised with a mandatory $5pp pre-tip for the bag guys. Would rather tip someone for their level of service provided.
Great day for golf
Very challenging course with many memorable moments.
First time playing Maderas and it met expectations.
Love Playing Maderas!
Course is in good condition considering all the rain! Watch for the wild turkeys roaming the 6th and 7th holes! Can’t wait to get out and play Maderas again!!!
Maderas
This course is extremely challenging because of the layout and the low quality of field conditions.
For the price it is not worth it to me. Much better places with better field conditions for the same price.
Great Course - No Marshall to keep up pace of play
Front group was taking forever. Group behind us hit into us twice (the second one on purpose and landed a yard from where we were) likely thinking we were the ones holding up play. Did not see a Marshall once. Ruined a good day out on the course as it turned what should have been a fun day out into one that was on the verge of resulting in an altercation. Lots of money to pay for a round like that.
Great course
We had wonderful day of golf with out of town friends. Friendly staff from a bag drop to pro shop. Course in great shap as usual. Slow pace due to frost delay but one. Of best course to play SD area.
What a Gem!
Beautiful course, challenging but fair…greens rolled true although difficult to figure out initially :)
Course was manicured unbelievably well all throughout (tee boxes, fairways, greens) for a “winter round”.
Only “issues” were temporary, bar/grill was being remodeled and the gps in our cart did not work.
Highly recommend this course, will definitely be coming back.
Was not impressed…was expecting more
I was expecting more for paying $159. Plus it was carts on path which made pace of play longer. I thought course conditions would be pristine at this rate. They did open up a number of holes once we got to the back nine. Very disappointed.
