Johnny Miller

Maderas Golf Club

Poway, CA

The Meadows course at Sunriver Resort, envisioned by acclaimed architect John Fought, is an iconic course in the heart of Sunriver's Great Meadow. Fought's design philosophy pays tribute to the great American golf courses of the 1920s and 30s, evident in its aesthetic grace and dramatic use of directional and fore-bunkers. The course features tremendous variety within its 18 holes, with seven bordering the meandering Sun River. The opening hole, a par-4, provides a good test with bunkers lining the right side of the fairway, leading to a generous two-tiered green. The 16th hole, a 205-yard par-3, is a notable signature hole. Meadows has a distinguished history, having hosted numerous PGA, USGA, and NCAA golf championships, including the PGA Cup and the NCAA Men's Division I Championship tournament. Its blend of challenging design, beautiful setting, and historical significance makes it a perfect resort course, manageable for all skill levels while offering strategic depth.
