Maderas Golf Course in San Diego

Founded in 1999, now one of Southern California’s premier destinations, the Maderas Golf Club is quietly nestled amidst the rolling hills of Rancho Bernardo and Poway, just minutes from downtown San Diego. The golf course designed by Johnny Miller and Robert Muir Graves, winds through many elevations and 100 year-old live oaks, sycamores, creeks, lakes, waterfalls and more than 40 acres of native wildflowers. The par 72-championship course plays to 7,115 yards from the back tees, and includes the finest full game practice facility in the area. Maderas Golf Course specializes in corporate and charity golf outings from 16 to 144 players, as well as weddings and banquets from 40 to 200.

The Tuscan style clubhouse features the award winning restaurant, The Grille at Maderas, where lunch can be a hamburger or a gourmet meal. The Grille has been selected to cater many top corporate meetings, golf tournament banquets, weddings and all types of lifestyle celebrations. In addition, the golf shop features the newest and latest golf equipment and the most popular lines of fine clothing. In the clubhouse there are changing facilities for both men and women.
