Sand traps/price
I like playing this course and have played probably a hundred times. But at the price they are charging and amount of maintenance this course gets, they really need to do something about the bunkers. They literally have zero sand in most bunkers and or more pebbles vs sand. I would highly recommend adding sand in the bunkers. If the management is afraid it will just blow out, when check the weather forecast and on extreme windy days have the maintenance crew wet them so it does blow out. This is what country clubs do. Just add sand please!
Plus when maintenance is working on the greens, please have them stop, move to the side when a group is ready to go!!
Awesome course for the money
Great layout love the links style they keep the course very pure. Wish I didn’t play so soon after aeration but will def play again next time I find myself in Madera highly recommend
Don’t use GolfNow
We did all we were suppose to to use out gift card. Website said it was paid and all was set. When we got there they had no record that we paid through GolfNow. I showed them my phone showing that it was paid, but it did not show up on their side. Extremely disappointed with GolfNow! We went ahead and paid for out round at Dragonfly Golf Club. It was a great course and will definitely go back but will never use GolfNow again!
Green conditions were a joke. Absurd price for that restriction as well
Aeration of Greens Lol Playing on 10lbs of Sand you mean on the greens. The greens weren't even puttable, this course was not worth the price. On top of that their was no notice online when making the reservation of not being able to play the whole course. We were restricted to just the back 9, didnt plan to have that and more sand on the green to putt through than all the bunkers had in them. Maybe sometime this course is worth the price but I would have had better value at any other course in the valley.
Visiting
Always enjoy playing here. Unfortunately on arrival finding the back nine closed for repairs was disappointing. The pace of play became an issue, horrible slow. Packed it up and left. Hopefully next visit will be better. Darn shame as the course is great
Nice Golf course
Dragonfly is in great shape. The best I’ve seen it in years.
Bunkers need to be fixed. No good sand in them and some of the have small rocks in them and puddles of water
Great Day @ The Fly
Had fun playing Dragonfly as always. Greens running slower than usual & bunkers on course need some work & too many rocks in Sand.
Pace of play is always an issue and needs to be addressed.
Madera Ca Golfcourse
I’ve been playing this course for quite a while. It seems to get better each time I go out except for the bunkers. They need to do something with the bunkers out there .
I would highly recommend this course to anyone.
Weekends are very busy and will be slow.
Love this course
This was the second time I played here and had a great time. The course was in great condition and for a high handicapper, not too difficult. Friendly staff and just overall a great day! Try it I think you will be impressed.
Course issues
I play here a lot, but lately I’m getting frustrated with the way it’s playing. 1) over watering the course has been a real issue, leaving soggy lies on the fairway and limiting the rolls/ distance.
2) sand traps are terrible, not just pebbles in them but rocks. Plus very little sand or just some dirt.
3) the flag positions are so bad lately. Not sure if the person placing them is playing a practical joke but either the flags is the far far back corner (within 2 yards), they’re in the very front corner with a bunker just in front of the green too or if you’re lucky and the flags in the middle it’s either middle-side or next to a big break.
I hate to complain but they real should improve these things, especially for a $100+ on the weekends.
Gold Standard
I’ve played a few times here and realize that I’ve been comparing all other courses to Dragonfly. This place has become my gold standard.
Great place to play
Excellent course to play. Green, well-kept up for the most part. Some traps needed some work. Price is good. Professiona and friendly staff.
