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.

Love Maderas!
Course is in great condition. Greens are quick so be careful of putting too much spin on the ball and stay below the pin! Was charged a $5 bag fee in the golf shop that goes to the outside operations staff, which is new from the previous number of times I’ve played Maderas and was not asked to pay a bag fee. Already have another tee time booked at Maderas for this Sunday.
Great course and staff…amazing views
The course was in great condition, especially the greens. The staff was exceptional and very helpful from the moment I pulled in to the property. Golf carts were immaculately maintained as well. The practice greens and driving range were close to the clubhouse and #1 tee box, which was great.
My only feedback was that the greens fees were pretty steep. Not to say it wasn’t worth it, just that I would have expected them to be around $135-150 and not over $200.
Also, my shoes will never be the same….they were “painting” the fairways green while I was playing and I now have a permanent green ring around the bottom of my shoes. So I guess I will always remember my round there when I look down at my shoes and see the green;)
Amazing course! We loved our time out there. The greens were wicked today, and it was tough to putt, but overall really fun!
#7 Par 3
First hole in one
The layout and view are fantastic
Highly suggest for intermediate golfers on up
Best course in SD
Certainly not a weekly course just given price. But you really get what you pay for at Maderas. Course was in excellent shape especially considering it was towards the end of the golf season. Staff is ridiculously friendly. Lots of sloped shots, greens are extremely fast, but just a beautiful course that lives up to the price.
Marshall is rude
First group off at 7:00 and we got warned on the 7th hole that we were 1 minute behind pace. The group in back of us wasnt even close to us on the 6th hole and was never waiting on us. Not sure why we got the warning from the marshall. First 5 holes were played in fog so maybe you dont send groups out to slow pace of play. You delyed groups a few months ago for frost delay but nit fog? For $240 you absolutely make sure that the first group out isnt behind and IMO 1 minute behind isnt making an impact on the course. Wont be back because of the marshall and $240. Pechanga is a better place to golf, top notch facility and price is set at $150 all the time. Maderas isa $120-$130 at best
What a treat
Decided to treat the wife and I to really nice golf course while in the San Diego area, and was not disappointed. Beautiful location, very hilly, and a beautiful day. The starter was a big help in giving us the necessary pointers to help us play the course well. Decided to move forward one tee box, what a help since we had never played here. Course was in very good condition, except for the fact that people don’t know what fixing ball marks is all about on the greens. When you put your drive in the right spot you will be rewarded with huge down hills on some hills. All of the staff were very friendly. Accuracy is very important on a course like this.
$159 is the right price!
Teed off @ 8am - Fog hindered the round for first 5 holes. Good thing a regular player could guide us. Too many times the group of the sets of tee markers were together and further back. Lots of undulations, elevated shots, and a couple of holes that were just tight. Two par threes played over 225 yards from Whte tees. Pace was good considering waited most of the back nine...was still 4:08. Play M-Th as it is the right value @ $160 ish.
Great Track
This is a hilly but largely shielded track that should be played on Tour. Fairways were wonderful and the greens were fast and pins fair.
Top course
I had seen the five star ratings and wanted to play Maderas.
I got a decent rate and used one of my discount codes.
After planting the course however I world have been happy paying double. Amazing course. Definitely some challenges, but the layout is terrific.
Course conditions are amazing.
Cart’s are new and have impressive tech.
Staff were knowledgeable and very attentive.
A Staff Member took my bag on arrival and got me set up with a cart. I checked in and the Staff member there showed me the facilities.
Range and putting green are top notch.
The Starter gave us some useful hints and advice for the course.
All in all a terrific experience. Well worth it.
Fun @ Maderas Golf Club
Had a good time and Maderas Golf Club. Although the holes were bunched up, the layout was very nice, great scenery and layout.
My wife and I travel to check out out of state courses often. This course is in our Top 10 (so far).
Club rentals were pricey; which was expected. Paid $359 for a round (for 2), a hat and club rentals (1 set).
I recommend this course for novice to solid players. Hope you enjoy it. We certainly did!
