JUST IN: GreensKeeper.org Announces BEST PLAYING CONDITIONS AWARDS 2021

Winners Best Playing Conditions for 2021 from GreensKeeper.org

Best Playing Conditions 2022 GreensKeeper.orgPost Covid-19, It’s finally back! Greenskeeper.org presents it’s Best Golf Playing Conditions Awards for 2021.

Not to be confused with “Worth the Green Fee,” “Best Playing Conditions” is awarded to golf courses open to the public listed on Greenskeeper.org that stand out above the rest with our site users at providing consistently the best greens, fairways, rough, tee boxes and bunkers around.

The job of the superintendent is the life blood of the golf course industry and most important contributing factor to enjoying a golf experience.  It takes enormous dedication, resources and expertise by a superintendent and their staff to provide excellent turf conditions.  A golf course is a living, breathing organism whose health is constantly in flux. Greenskeeper.org’s trademark and creed, “Know Before You Go”®, centers on communicating these current playing conditions. The rating system used on Greenskeeper.org is in part created by superintendents.

How Awards Winners Are Determined

Golf Course reviews and ratings submitted by our 76,000+ Greenskeeper.org community are tabulated over 12 months. Winners are determined for each area.

We divide awards into 10 Regions or Sections —  San Diego County, Orange County, Los Angeles County, Inland Empire, Santa Barbara County, Palm Springs Region, and Ventura County with Regional Winners for Southern Nevada, Southern California, Central California, and Northern California.

We provide the list below in no particular order.  This is done on purpose.  Any golf course that provides outstanding conditions in their region should not overshadow other golf courses simply because of their location.  For most avid golfers, the playing experience is what matters.  Knowing where to play in your area is important.

Golf Course Review Maderas Golf Club Poway California

Reviewed by: Alex326, Monterey, Ca
Played late morning on a picture perfect Southern California day. As Matt mentioned course is in fantastic shape. Maderas is always a great track when in the San Diego area. From the moment you arrive you are greeted by friendly and helpful staff. Yes, they want tips but so do waitresses at high end restaurants. Don’t want to tip? Eat/play at low end places and you’re good to go.

Names are in the cart ahead of time, which yes is a little thing but it adds a touch of class to the already outstanding service.

The Review

Golf Playing Conditions 8.66 GREAT

Range is included with green fees. The one small and possible only downside to the entire place is the range is mats only. Carts have full GPS with distances to the pin.

Course is has a few water hazards and waterfalls to go hand in hand with the numerous elevation changes. Add in some forced carries over the mountain side cliffs and you have one great layout.

Conditions are a solid 9 tee to green. Greens were rolling fast but soft enough to easily hold well struck approach shots. Greens have several undulations with some tough pin locations.
Fairways were very lush. They reminded me of the fairways at Quail Lodge.

Tee boxes were also in fantastic shape. I somehow managed to avoid the bunkers all day but others were in them and they had great sand.

A definite must play course.
