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.

Great Golf Experience!
Beautiful golf course! Very scenic and extremely well kept. Soft, but speedy greens with a lot of undulations. You will 3 putt here and there...just accept it. In the Top 10 of courses I’ve played (which is a lot)!
Best Course in SD county
This is the best course in the area by far for golfers.
If you want the best views then play Torrey or Coronado, but Maderas impressed me much more than Torrey south.
It’s a tough course but in impeccable condition and staff is great!
Favorite course I’ve played to date!
Great Course and practice facilities.
It feels like a private course and plays like one at times. Everyone I have encountered has been wonderful and accommodating. I would definitely recommend getting there early to take advantage of the practice facilities.
Best public course in San Diego!
Beautiful and scenic course but it is quite difficult to play as well. Wouldn’t recommend for beginner golfers. Pace of play was quite slow as well but it was a weekend so it’s typical of most courses. I’ll definitely be back though!
Birthday golf gone wrong..Great course, lazy staff. Bring your own water
I played here on 7-24-19. with a 2:30 tee time. It was perfect a perfect day for golf. It was warm in the mid 90s with some cloud cover and breeze. I got out of work early on my birthday and was headed to the course for a nice round of golf. I decided to splurge and pay for a round at Maderas instead of the other local courses. Upon arrival, the bag drop boys were nowhere to be found. It wasn't until I parked and carried my bag from my car to the clubhouse, is when the boys came out of their office and put my bag on the cart. That was the first signal as to what is to come.
At check-in, I was told that there would be ice in my cart cooler and a couple of bottles of water for me as well and water jugs along the course and a cart girl. After playing a couple of holes, I found nothing but melted ice in my cooler and a single bottle of water. I was thinking no big deal there are water jugs all along the course and ill just refill as I go. Well turns out they're all EMPTY. Which surprised me as the course was wide open. At this point I'm irritated, there no water and I didn't bring any as I expected that there would be some along the course. Now I'm praying that the cart girl is making her rounds around. Well, you thought wrong... She is nowhere to be found and did not make an appearance one during the entire 18 holes of golf. Very disappointed in the management.
The only positive that I have is the conditions of the course. It was nice and well maintained.
Punishing
Not fun for the casual or mid-high handicap golfer. Punishing for any shot that isn’t hit on the fairway. As you can imagine it is tough to pay a lot of money and go out in the Poway desert heat and lose all your golf balls in the brush. It is a high end course with regards to staff, upkeep, and amenities.
A true 5 star experience
This is our second time playing the course. A little comprehension as the first time expert 5 years ago was very good. Well the second time was even better. From the time we drop tiff the clubs to iced towel upon the finish. Very enjoyable experience.
The course is full of ups and downs. The forward tees are generously placed for high handicappers.
AWESOME !!!
First of all the staff are friendly and welcoming. The course and greens were in excellent shape. I’m looking forward to my next golf outing here. Thank You Madeira’s G.C.
Great course and very friendly staff
This is a must play if you are in the area. The staff was very friendly and did their best to make sure guests enjoyed their day. Pace was a bit slow but it was a bit of bad luck based on when I went out. The marshall was very active and friendly trying to keep things moving along. I would definitely play again.
Pace Of Play Terrible
Pace of play was terrible. Didn’t see a Marshall until the 16th hole and all he did was offer up excuses. Three groups waiting on 15-18th holes.
Why allow a slow group to crap on everyone else’s round? Grow a pair and deal with the slow groups.
Can’t recommend a course that allows slow play!
Nice but missing something
Cart got stuck on a hole but there were no signs so my cart just said restricted area and I was stuck. Fun day not sure yet if it is worth the price though.
