A Must Play

A true gem in the San Diego Area. Beautiful surroundings with a course in top notch condition. Very friendly and efficient staff. The course is challenging but fair. The fairways were in great condition and the greens were quick and consistent. Our group looks forward to playing here again as a bit of course knowledge is helpful. I strongly recommend to 'give it a go'!

Great course

Great conditions - tough greens. Really need to grind on the reads otherwise the slopes and run outs will eat you up! Excellent service start to finish.

Love Playing Maderas!

The course and greens are in great condition! Pace of play yesterday was great, well spaced between the group in front and the group behind us. Played as a foursome and finished in a little less than four and half hours. Highly recommend playing Maderas!!!

Need to get more active with pace to stay highly rated

Love Arrowood. Great design, value, and playing experience. Yesterday we waited on every shot for 4th hole through 18th and never saw a Marshall. Mentioned at the turn and still didn’t get any love. They need to keep pace (not just time taken per round) to keep avid golfers happy.

Mandatory bagboy fee

Overall good time. Ed, the starter was very nice! Checked in at proshop and was slapped with a $5 per player mandatory bagboy fee. Annoyed with the hidden fee. Maybe maderas should pay their employees better. Course and greens in good shape considering they aerated 12 days prior. Plays tough as always.

Fun Course

Super fun track. The only that sucked is greens were punched and sanded. I missed that when I booked. I wish I could afford to play here every time I play. Awesome course. Awesome staff.

good track

First time there, it was a hilly track. Greens were very good. F/ways and tee boxes were good. Definitely on the pricey side. Will think about going back but will shop around as well.

Birthday round with my Son

Had a great day at Madera's celebrating my son's 19th.
We both made a couple bogies pars and a few tweets.
The greens were tricky and fast.. The courses in great condition.
The front nine played a little slow because of a foursome two groups ahead but they quit at the turn... Back 9 in under two hours..
We might make it a tradition.)))

Incredible layout

The course design in the surrounding area is amazing. For the first time experience it was very challenging. Course knowledge would definitely assist.

Great course but a bit pricey

Great area and course lay-out. They do really treat all golfers with top priority. I do believe the cost should be more around the 120-140 range even for non-deals. I would play here again only on a special that brings the cost down 20-40 dollars.
