Maderas Golf Club

Based on player reviews we chose Maderas for a weekend round. We were not disappointed. The conditions, even in winter, were excellent. The greens were very fast, but true and in great shape. The layout was very interesting, with many elevation changes, and a strong variety of shorter and longer holes. The only drawback was the GPS on the cart was not working, but we did switch it out at the turn.There was a very slow group in front of us, but the marshals did a fine job in keeping them moving.

Beautiful. Challenging. Kick your b——- greens. Bring your brain not your ego. Must play. Worth the $.

Fast greens. I’m soooo glad I choose this course and if your smart. You will too

Awesome views.

The course is one of the most well maintained in San Diego. When you can find a tee time that is affordable, I strongly recommend it.

I was debating between four courses for my one round of golf in the San Diego area and I certainly made the right choice. I was lucky enough to get paired with a member who was a really great guy, which made the experience even better. The course was in very good condition, greens were quick and rolled consistently. The difficulties at this course is getting off the tee as optically the shot look more difficult than they are and the area around the greens is tightly mown. I was a little surprised at the lack of pushing people along by the rangers and that the course allowed t-shorts on the course but other than that it was a great experience. If you only have time for one round in the SD area I would certainly recommend this course.

I'm still a newer golfer sticking to cheap rounds to get my reps in. I appreciate the local public courses, but Maderas is something special. The course is so pretty and fun that it seemed to help me focus more on my game. Shot my best ever round!

Every once in awhile, ya gotta treat yourself.

Awesome views beautiful landscape and water features immaculate playing and very friendly staff make this a must play when you in the area.

Really enjoyed the layout through canyons. Several holes with tight driving areas ... gotta keep tee shots in play. Greens were in great shape - even after some rains that resulted in cart path only. Would definitely play again.

The course condition was good and especially the green was perfect!!

I will play this course whenever I visit San diego.

One of the best local courses around San Diego; conditions always perfect. The staff and amenities are impeccable. Hilly course but very fair if you play off appropriate tees.

This is my favorite public course in San Diego. I’ve written about that before, so I’ll focus on the recent condition of the course. The greens were nearly perfect. They ran smooth and fast. If anything they were too quick, but not by much. The fairways were consistently good and the bunkers were raked and contained plenty of sand. The tee boxes were in good shape. When booking a tee time at Maderas, try to find a discounted rate, but even at the price I paid of $180, the course quality and hole variety is worth the asking price. Normally, I try to play this course for $90 to $120 and at that price, it’s a really great value. This time I booked on short notice at a time when most San Diego courses were aerating, so the options for tee times at nice courses were few.

Beautiful day, beautiful course, nice professional staff.

Could not have asked for a better day of Golf. I brought my wife and mom to visit San Diego for the week and had played at one of the more "celebrated touted courses" a couple of days before and enjoyed myself, but Maderas blew that course away!!! Greens rolled true and were in excellent condition, fairways were picture perfect, and the views although not coastal were still amazing.

Just don't go looking for your lost ball in the trees or outside the cart paths (rattlesnakes) being from West Texas no big deal..LOL. Shot an 86 so not bad for a flatlander that gets a lot of roll in west Texas. Highly recommend this Course truly enjoyed it.
