Time for some “Tee-Time”

San Diego is not just known for its Craft Beer but also for the marvelous Golf Courses.

The golf courses in San Diego are sprawled along the seaside, deserts, and valleys. When you ask anyone about the golf courses in San Diego, most of them would suggest the renowned Torrey Pines Golf Course, but the beauty of SoCal does not stop at the oceanic blue Pacific coast. North County promises some of the most scenic and challenging layouts.

You might not be on the ocean while at Maderas, but the place has no shortage of water. The five waterfalls and three lakes compliment the nice mix of long and short holes in a chaparral surrounding.

Each hole has tons of distance markers and two white rods that indicate where to enter/exit the fairway with your golf cart.  At the 8th hole, you are able to order food via telephone and pick up at the snack shop two holes later. This course is located in between lush hillsides and spectacular residential homes.  This public course offers a private club feel and is well maintained, with rates around $150-$170 per round.
