Maderas Golf Club

We loved this challenging beautifully maintained course! Very memorable views with very personable staff!

Tough front 9 but an excellent overall experience. Course was in perfect condition and staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Will definitely be going back soon!

Great layout combining dramatic Vistas and huge elevation changes with shotmaking. Greens great and overall really nice experience

Excellent conditions. Challenging, yet playable for many to enjoy.

Tough golf course for anyone not experienced. Demanding tee shots, large tricky greens, lots of length. I played the blue tees at 6670 yards and shot 78 off a three hdcp. and felt I played quite well.
Greens had been punched two weeks ago so they were running about 9.0 and a bit bumpy.
If they cut them downto 11.0 - 12.0, add four strokes to my score.
Not a course for a novice but a test for an experienced golfer.

This is typical Johnny Miller design in that it really punishes every weak shot. If you're playing it for the first time I highly recommend a course guide since there are a lot of blind shots and a number of tee shots that require some knowledge of how far the fairway is.

This course never disappoints. Always great condition including the greens which are challenging but fair and 1st class. One of the finest facility's you will play. The only complaint is hole #6 which is a bit out of place with the rest of the facility. I also hope they go back to lemonade post round. It was the best I've had anywhere. And something you looked forward to.

Staff and facilities were great. Made us feel welcome and appreciated us coming to play at their facility. Would highly recommend scheduling this course if you are planning a trip to the San Diego area. You will not be disappointed. Get ready to be challenged.

Pretty much everything that's been said about this course so far is true. But, in addition, they've failed to mention that this facility might have the the best practice area you will ever see. So why is mine the only four star review surrounded by a bunch five star rave reviews. Well simply, it's because If you aren't on your game you might not have a lot of fun. Bring extra balls.

Wonderful course, difficult but engaging, wonderful views, excellent and friendly staff! I have played all over the world and a top 5 experience for sure!

Facilities, people, conditions were all great. I don't typically like to pay this much for a round since there are plenty of good courses at half the price but this was perfect for a special occasion. I highly recommend for a business meeting or to treat someone for a day.

This is one of the finest golf courses in California.
I live in Long Beach, CA and will drive 94 miles to play this course if I can get a deal on Golf Now because the rack rate is just to expensive for me. The course is always in impeccable condition and is a must play if you appreciate quality conditions and a challenging layout.

Totally Awesome ~ from the practice-range to the end of my game!

Absolutely beautiful course int the hills of SoCal. Nice elevations. Course was in great condition. Unfortunately it was a constant misting rain which is very unusual for this area. We donned our rain gear and slogged it out anyway, and it was still worth it. The views are normally amazing.

Course was great, staff was amazing, and the experience was an overall 10.

Friendly staff welcomed us and showed us around. Pratice facilities in great conditions with coffee at driving range. Few putts (should have done more) on putting greenm got instructions at first hole and went on for a great round of golf with friends. Only downside, playing threesomes behind a foursome has an impact of playing and waiting times. First nine was OK in 2:15 but went on longer thereafter. Great to play a round of golf in November anyway for someone who is looking at snow at this time of the year. Great experience overall, great staff and great course conditions. Definitely a must play.

Excellent in every way.
From the gentleman who greets you and bag drop to the car girl, staff was first class.
Golf course was perfect but very challenging.
Can't wait to play it again

Played 3 rounds 3 days in a row in SD and this course was in the most outstanding condition of all 3 and the other courses were top notch selections as well. The views are incredible on almost every hole. The golf course is a gem!
SD is indeed a top 50 golf city destination and if coming to play definitely put this course on your list.

great course needs help ! the greens are not in good conditios !

The staff is always friendly and very attentive. If you are looking for good food along with golf, then this is also your place. The course conditions were very good to excellent and the greens played the same throughout the course. The views are always incredible as well. The only knock is the price, it can be pretty expensive, depending on when you play, so bring your wallet. However, if you love the course, they do have a great membership program that can help cut the costs a little. At the very least, it's worth going to play there if you've never been. You won't regret it.
It is a challenging course, so if you have a high handicap or are spraying the ball around, play the forward tees and maybe put the driver away. There aren't a lot of places to miss. That being said, the course generally plays fair. The only hole that gets a bit hokey is the 8th. It could do without the giant tree at the end of the water. The hole is hard enough already.
Bunkers generally play really soft, almost a beach sand. They also have some steep ones, so be sure to feel good about your bunker game. Greens typically play fast, but depending on the hole placement, are usually fair.
Carts are great and the beverage cart is top notch! Cart paths are well marked and well maintained as well.
Fairways are currently green and well maintained. Greens are always impeccable. The rough can get a little brutal at times, making it hard to find your ball, but hopefully you hit enough fairways so it isn't a problem.
The course is a precision course, so be sure to check the layout of holes and try to use the geography to help you. Pay attention to what is behind greens and don't be afraid to lay up. If you do this, you'll have a great day! Also be sure to hit the 19th hole for food and drinks. Drinks are bit pricey, but they don't cheap out on the pours and the food is top notch! Worth every penny! Overall, you can have a really great day of gold at Maderas.
