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.

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.

Nothing shy of pure enjoyment. Excellent course and range. Nice pro shop w/built in kitchen. Pace of play was perfect even on a busy Sunday morning. Martial was kind and cart girls made their rounds. Great first experience. Will definitely be back

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.
