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.

Great first experience

From the minute you arive to Maderas you are met with a great friendly staff ready to help you with your bag. Heading into the pro-shop you'll find a similar vibe, and tons of cool swag. The restaurant has tons of delicious food options and an amazing beer selection.

Once you get to the course you are met with stunning mountain views and a course that is prestine condition. The pace of play is just right, and the occasional visit from the local turkeys will have your group telling stories for days.

If you're in Poway then you gotta play this course!

Maderas Turkey Watch

Beautiful course with excellent views. Extremely challenging, with well place bunkers, native areas and water. Greens were in very good shape with lots of contours. Main suggestion would be to add at least one tee box. Goes from 6350 to 5450. Vast majority of golfers need something in between. Pace little slow, mostly lots of long walks from cart to green. Turkeys, huge amount of Turkeys cruising around

Very nice golf course had all the amenities that you would need from a driving range putting and shipping areas. Grass wasn’t quite as green as it could’ve been, but it was very nice. I was lucky to have a person playing with me that had course knowledge otherwise it would’ve been a less enjoyable experience just because it is a very compact course And is a bit difficult with targets and hazards that it was beneficial that he pointed out to me.

Punched greens

I wish we were informed ahead of time that the greens were just punched.

This made a huge difference as they were punched just 4 days before we played.

We should have been made aware of this before we booked our tee time.

Not happy

hilly

IMO, course was in overall good shape. Greens rolled well @ 10.5-11. Hilly track, which i knew. On the pricey side, so may want to go else where.
