Golf courses in Poway, CA.

Poway, CA

Maderas Golf Club sits in the rolling foothills of Poway, an inland San Diego County community northeast of downtown. Johnny Miller and Robert Muir Graves designed the course, which opened in 1999 and runs through native chaparral terrain with substantial elevation change from tee to green. Canyons and ridgelines separate the holes, producing a sequence of dramatic uphill and downhill shots rather than a flat resort layout. Bunkering and green complexes take their shape from the topography instead of manufactured hazards. At roughly 7,167 yards it rewards precise iron play into sloped, well-defended greens.
