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.

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.

Best condition in years

This course truly is in the best condition it has been in years. It is probably the nicest public course in town. The course is challenging and the greens in great condition.

Awesome Dragonfly

I always enjoy playing Dragonfly & I love everything about the golf course except the sand traps which need a lot of work. My only complaint is that one every green when we were trying to putt out the grounds crew was right by the greens with their vehicles being very disruptive with no knowledge of golf etiquette. Although I realize they need to keep water on the greens due to the summer heat, those crews need to be taught the proper golf etiquette when around players on the course.

7/6/2025 round

When I play there I find it very frustrating when I have to listen bells ringing and watch advertising on the yardage "screen". I come out to enjoy a round of golf with a friend or meet new friends and enjoy a relatively quite environment and enjoy the surroundings.

These interruptions reduce the enjoyment of a game of golf and the surrounding's. I may start playing elsewhere occasionally or completely.
