Greens were in great shape. This course could be a real gem, but there was all kinds of torn up grass in the fairways, and the trees on many holes need to be trimmed up to allow the grass to grow in the rough and also make the place just look better overall.

Had an outstanding time playing Maderas for the first time. Clubhouse staff, starter, cart attendants, etc were all very friendly and helpful. Facility is beautiful, with great practice areas. Pace of play was great, course looks really good, but greens were recently punched so there was still a fair bit of sand, some bumpiness, and the greens were long and slow ... that whole combo made them tough to read and difficult overall. But this place is great. Will definitely be back if I come back to San Diego any time soon.

Played on a Saturday morning and the course was in pretty good condition. We teed off 5 minutes before our tee time, and the group in front of us was clearing the 1st green as we teed off. We were then heckled by the marshalls (there must have been at least five marshalls - we saw them every other hole - and zero food/beverage carts) the ENTIRE round about how we needed to speed up the pace of play because there was one hole between us and the next group. Not ONCE did the group behind us wait to hit a single shot (they were a full hole behind us the entire round), and our foursome finished the course in exactly 4 hours on a Saturday morning, including a stop for a hot dog at the turn. I am totally in favor of maintaining the pace of play, but it was very frustrating to get constantly berated by the marshalls when we were keeping the pace all day.

This is a muni course, so conditions were fairly average with respect to the fairways/rough/tee boxes. The greens were in excellent shape though, rolling fairly fast and true. The guy at the check-in desk was very friendly and welcoming.

Pretty poor conditions relative to most of the other area courses. Greens have been punched but not even completely top dressed. Weeds everywhere. Kids from the neighboring apartments running out on the course. Slow pace of play. Pretty decent layout though.

I’ve played here three times over the last six months, and the greens were in VERY bad shape today. Multiple areas of repair on almost every hole, inconsistent speeds across every green, etc. Hundreds of unrepaired ball marks on most greens too. I understand the weather has been rough this winter, but I’ve played on just about every other course in the immediate area recently, and these greens are in the worst condition of all of them.

Also, why can’t we go to the range at 7:30 in the morning before our round? The sun has been up for 30 minutes, and the driving range could have been prepared the night before.

I really like the layout of this course, but I paid $70+ to play today, and it wasn’t a good value.

Really cold weather, but the course was mostly in great shape. Some bunkers and fairways muddy and under repair. Watch out for coyotes on 15 & 16 - saw 4 of them today.
