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.

Chipping area has to be my favorite part

First time playing there, and probably my best experience I've had playing golf. The staff takes care of you right away in the parkinglot takes your bag, check in to this big nice pro shop with more great staff. Then your off to your cart all setup with your bag waiting for you. Can't wait to go back. The course kicked my butt, greens are in great condition buncha undulating false fronts. Nice water features and a cool hidden tee box.

Great overall experience

From great course conditions, excellent rangers with pace of play, free driving range balls, to nice amenities and a friendly staff I had a great experience yesterday. Not cheap ($185 at 11:30am) I felt that I received a good value.

Amazing golf course

Course was in pristine condition. Challenging course but tons of fun. Pace was great for the first 9 holes, especially considering we were just a twosome. Backed up a bit on the back nine but that was to be expected and the round was under 4 hours total. Practice facilities were top notch and the staff couldn’t be more helpful. All around A+ for me!

Crazy slopes, too hard for most players

Insanely difficult but scenic. Our group of sub 10 GHIN players couldn’t break 90 from the blue tees. Insane slopes, impossible narrow landing spots and long carry requirements. Add 10 to your normal round when playing here….
