Maderas Golf Club

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

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.

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

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

The course is challenging, meticulously groomed and beautiful. I would recommend it to anyone. I even bought a logo shirt finally because I talk this course up so much to my playing groups that I figure its time to represent.

Super impressed! Clubhouse, practice facilities all top notch! Tee boxes, Fairways and greens were perfect! I would have preferred the greens to be a little faster but it was hot and humid. Tremendous layout and design. Holes are well framed with perfect targets. If you hit it well you can score if you are a little off you will be punished! Ill be back for sure!!!! It is one of the best tracks in San Diego County. Feels like you are at a private club.

This is the greatest golf experience I have ever had. The course provided absolutely everything one can dream of in a day if golf. Stunning views, incredible hikes, outrageous challenges, impeccable greens, and pure golf ectasy.

Greens were in great shape, but course was dried out. Most of the staff were friendly. With.all the blind spots on drives, I got hit into 3 times, while waiting for group ahead

After teeing up on 18, I’m already dreaming of the next time I’ll get to play Maderas. Immense challenge meets sheer beauty as soon as you step onto the first box. Johnny Miller sculpted this course into the hills like Michelangelo sculpted the David, creating a timeless masterpiece for us mortals to enjoy. Complete with rolling hills, waterfalls, creeks, and strategically placed trees which create a sense of solitude on each hole paired with added difficulty. Find a tee time mid-week and you’ll score one for about $100, which, as the 2nd best course in the county behind Torrey Pines, is well worth it. Staff is always friendly, with a cart waiting for you at the parking lot. Also, if it’s any importance to you, the premium price and difficult layout seem to drive away the hacks/30 handicaps so your round will NOT consist of waiting 10 minutes at each shot which always happens at Torrey. In the event you do have to wait at a tee box, time goes by twice as fast as you take in the beauty of the surrounding hills, and before you know it, you’re up.

Played on a hot Sunday in July. Hit accurate tee shots and you'll go low--approach shots aren't as punitive as other courses around (i.e Torrey) and allow for good scoring. Course was in fantastic shape; fairways were like carpet, tee boxes immaculate. Flyover GPS on cart was helpful as this was my first time playing this course. Had to handle my own clubs and clean them pre/post round due to COVID, also had to clean out my own cart afterward due to pandemic. Grill options were limited to 4/5 items only and were simple items that cost less than half the price to make. Overall great course and highly recommend adding it to your list of must-plays in San Diego County.

Really good mix of holes, easy to difficult Course in excellent condition, not burned out like so many in the area. Greens very challenging but fair. Need to play it a few times if possible to figure a few things out.

This is a tough challenge. It takes a few rounds and lots of balls to get the hang of it. A real treat.

Prepare yourself for a outstanding day of golf at one of San Diego best kept secret's

The moment you arrive you are treated like royalty and you will be amazed at the organization and friendliest employees, make feel comfortable and welcome.

Now the course is challenging to most that play it, and our group shared that challenge. From tee to green the course is in perfect shape and greens were true and fast. Love to play again in the near future.
