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.

Golfer Reviews
Maderas 10/20
One of my favorite layouts in SD, in near pristine conditions. Best staff & atmosphere in SD.
Extra fees for water & golf bag handling a bit much for an already high-end course!
Greens were unexpectedly slow, really threw us off.
Gotta love the icy towels on a warm day in Poway.
Great Day Walking Course
Course was in excellent condition. Fairways were plush and greens were in excellent condition. Pace of play was slow waiting on most tee boxes. Walking with pull cart was not easy. If walking, it's better to carry bag. Course management was very accommodating. Bring extra balls for going over water and canyons.
Well worth the trip!!!
I booked this course on line, it met my expectations. It was a good playable course, the staff was friendly and the course was in great condition.
I will definitely play it again when I travel to the San Diego area.
Little Beauty !!
Stunning layout and surroundings. Well kept course that will test your ability to play from every kind of lie, uphill, downhill, side hill, you’ll get them all . Great fairways, tees and greens and GPS in the buggies. Ice cold towel at the end of the round was a lovely touch on hot day to. I would highly recommend playing Maderas and with about 5 different tees to choose from it can suit any level of player.
So nice!
We enjoyed playing ! The course was immaculate and the staff was welcoming and pleasant! We were here on vacation and I wish I could play here on a regular basis! Loved it!
Almost perfect
My wife and I played this absolutely beautiful course and truly enjoyed the layout , staff and facilities. My one complaint would be the one maintenance staff running the pull behind blower, from the second hole to the fifth he was right there with us on every shot, and on one hole he even was nice enough to park next to the green as we proceeded to putt with the blower humming along. We are not pro,’s and no money on the line, it was just disappointing that he’d did not know better and to stay with one group for and ruined the expensive of those holes. All in all I would recommend this course ( without the blower).
Awesome place
You might wanna go somewhere like torry because of the name but this place is better!!!! Don’t waste your time around San Diego anywhere else this is definitely the place to be!!!!!
Spectacular golf course
Maderas is spectacular. Lots of elevation changes, perfect fairways and greens when Torrey Pines was very dry. It is a true test off the back tees and will challenge the best players.
Great Course
Played with my brother early August - both decent golfers (indexes 6-10) and have played many courses. Course was in excellent condition from tee to green. It's a Troon course and they generally have high standards. Lots of hills both up and down with fair but tight fairways and as a friend described to us wavy "Potato Chip" greens. Really liked the course, would be tough to walk - be warned. Only hole we didn't like is #8 which is a par 5 with a hidden tree literally in the middle of the fairway affecting your second shot. We weren't aware of the tree until after hitting what we thought were perfect drives we had no 2nd shot. Not sure how you would play the hole honestly. Beyond that the course is fun and a good challenge with some incredible views. Would like to play again if ever back. Maybe we can figure out #8 by then or they cut down the tree!
