DEFINITELY A MUST PLAY!
I was able to score a great deal on GOLFNOW for $85 at 1:00PM which included cart and unlimited use of their practice facilities (including range balls). Staff were very very friendly and extremely helpful. I showed up one and a half early and was able to enjoy everything they offered.
Course was in perfect shape but I have to warn you that it's a very challenging course. You would have to deal with a lot of blind tee/green shots along with elevation changes, however the cart comes with GPS so it's manageable even for 1st timers. Greens are deceptively fast, you really have to put into consideration on reading grains; you will not have a flat lie on your fairway shots which adds another layer of challenge.
I also played Torrey Pines South that week and I would honestly say that I would go back to Maderas before I go back to Torrey Pines because of cost - Torrey cost me more than $250 for the round with cart (however Torrey is still a must play - one of those course that should be on everyone's bucket list)
Highly Recommend Maderas to everyone.

A good course in general, but not really a truly memorable one considering the price that you pay. You would be able to get a fair deal from GolfNow and I would say the price is on the high side of what you get for the course. Course is in good shape, my only compliant is that the greens could have been in better shape since they have a lot of ball marks, but they still generally roll true.
