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.

Fast Greens
Played on 5/12. Course is in great shape. Greens are really quick and mostly roll fairly true. Pace pretty good. Went out as a 2. One group let us play thru and the pace was awesome. Had to wait on the last 3 holes which was a bummer but overall great day.
Simply an excellent golf course!
This course is always in superb condition, The design of the course is terrific, as are all of the amenities. The staff are professional and courteous. Tis is as good as it gets, period!
Five Stars Across the Board!!! Fantastic Course!!!
Maderas is one of the nicest courses in Southern California. I drove about 80 miles to get there and easily would’ve driven twice that far for the all around quality at Maderas. Everything about our round was great. Everyone from the bag drop guy, pro shop guy to the starter and cart girl were very friendly and helpful. Pace of play was great. We never had to wait over a shot, nor did we have anyone pushing us from behind throughout our entire round. Course was in immaculate condition and very well marked. Some GPS systems on carts seem to be more accurate than others. The GPS at Maderas is very accurate and helpful from tee thru green. I have zero complaints about this course and I would highly recommend Maderas.
Bring your A game
This is probably the hardest course I have ever played. However, It's so fast and dry that you might actually be rewarded for a bad shot that bounces out of the rough and onto the.fairway. Four stars only because of recent aerifiication. Arrive early so you can take advantage of the phenomenal practice facility. It's the best I've ever seen including the one at Sawgrass.
Favorite course
Can’t wait to play here again! What a beautiful well taken care of course!
Great course, great day
Got a great deal due the greens being punched. That did little to spoil this great course. This course is just AWESOME! I’d play here everyday if I could. The best it gets in SD County.
always good
Got a good rate due to recent aerification. Otherwise the course was in it's usual excellent condition. This course can be difficult for mid and
high handicappers. if you aren't hitting it straight bring extra balls.
Great value even with aerated greens
My group showed up knowing that the greens had recently been aerated. The greens still rolled great and this course is a great value at the discounted rate when they aerate the greens. I would play this course again in a heartbeat
Beautiful AND difficult
Course was in fabulous condition, personnel were great, TONS of undulation on fairways and greens....a couple of holes were borderline absurd! (Be sure to bring extra balls!) Still greatly enjoyed the round and would play it again.
A challenging course
This course is top notch in service and conditions. Playability-wise, it is for players who think their way through a round and play strategically. You must.
The back is tougher than the front. Be aware of the sloping fairways.
Awesome
Great greens,good fairways . Played 2 some in less than 3 hrs. Challenging course for sure but loved it worth the $$
A great day of golf
Great Track, Great people! The starter Doc just a great ambassador for MADERAS.
Very challenging
We played for half off which was really nice and definitely made it worth it. I live in north Phoenix and it would be better than average out there but for San Diego it is top notch. Definitely challenging and will test your layup skills. The greens are very hard but fun when I say hard I mean difficult
This is a truly amazing course. I hadn't ever played it due to the higher price but had always wanted to(.i used promo for 50%off) From the minute you arrive, you are treated like royalty! A cart was brought out to my car to load up my clubs and welcome me to the course. The starter was very helpful and gave me advice on what tees to play..The course conditions were great even after much rain over the last 2 weeks. Greens really rolled nicely. The layout was a great mix and I never got bored. I will come back as often as I can. They also offered free range balls so get there early.They have great GPS on the cart that measured to the pin for the day.4 hour and 20 minute round.
A real gem not to be missed.
We had a fantastic day at Maderas. Great staff and lots of fun. Thank you all so much.
Best we have played in Southwest California
Played early afternoon and conditions were excellent for golf. The course is magnificent in the layout and design. Many opportunities for lost balls if you try to cut corners. Picking the correct set of tees important (17 handicapper off the white tees and ladies 28 off the red ) in making the course playable.
All staff were extremely hospitable and added to the enjoyment of the 4 hour round.
Spectacular
Some outstanding holes on this spectacular layout. Great conditions, with fast challenging greens. Staff is courteous, friendly and professional. A great experience
