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.

Maderas is in great shape
Have played this course many times. Played today and it was in the best shape I’ve seen it. Tee to green was 5 stars. The greens were a little slower than normal but understandably soft given the heat wave we’re in.
Great course
We really love playing at Maderas. Great layout, challenging and in great condition. Pace is usually pretty good. Look forward to our next round!
Beautiful Course
Maderas is meticulously maintained. Absolutely beautiful. The downfall is the General Manager. He is never there along with his buddies that work there. There are several non course related issues at Maderas. However they will not be addressed unless they get a new General Manager.
Amazing course but,
Course was amazing. Loved the layout. Enjoyed the view,however, the guy with the blower cart made my course experience 1star. Nothing takes the peace and focus away like a loud blower by the tee box and then mid fair way , and then on you approach shot. Hole after hole. Super disappointed with the etiquette of the landscaper. Definitely would recommend the course to a friend but hope no ones has the same experience as we did.
You shouldn't be allowed to play this golf course!
This is a beautiful golf property, in a luxury housing development, and I can hardly believe that it is open to the public. I was visiting the San Diego area and this is one of the best kept secrets in Southern California. Elevation, drop offs, curves, desert vs grass fairways. Beautiful! I was only able to play 18 of the 27 holes available. Next time.
Beautiful Layout
I played Maderas earlier this week and it was a blast. Course is in good shape and was a good value overall. I had a great time with my buddy visiting as it was his first time playing the course. He was able to use the club rental service called ClubShare and it was great because we picked up the clubs on the way to the course which was even better because the rentals at Maderas are quite expensive. We will definitely be back, and might want to try it during the winter months.
Beautiful
Was gonna play Torrey Pines but couldn’t get on the day I was planning and played Maderas. Absolutely gorgeous course in unbelievable shape!! Staff was awesome from the moment I parked my car. For 125$ was expecting an awesome course and experience and I definitely got it and would recommend to anyone who wants a challenge with great conditions. First time playing here and would definitely play again when coming home to visit family. Live in Orlando area and have played some top courses over there, condition wise this is best I have played since moving to Florida 8months ago..
Great course in Poway.
Excellent condition. Superb layout with a mix of challenging drives and tough approach shots. Fun to play.
Skip Torrey
If you’re a golfer and not a tourist skip Torrey Pines and play Maderas. The course is beautiful, in great condition, the staff is friendly, not an easy course but you’ll forgive that for the challenge and making you think about your game
Absolute Gem
Took advantage of the heatwave (108 at 2:40 tee time) to have the place to ourselves. Lots of elevation and plenty of forced carries, but not overly narrow or punitive - a tough but fair test. The course is manicured to perfection and the layout is spectacular. Will definitely return next time in SD.
Great Golf Course
The layout was great. We played from the blue tees and there were several times where you had to think about driver vs 3-wood off the tee. Course was in great shape, greens were very nice, and we teed off at 8:00am and finished by 11:45 which included a 10 minute stop after 9 for the snack bar. Definitely worth the money and I would recommend this course to everyone and I will be playing there again
A beautiful golf course
I had a great time it was real hot. I loved the ups and downs of the terrain and the golf course is in great shape for this time of year
