Maderas Golf Club Adds GolfBoards

Maderas Golf Club, located in Poway, Calif. a suburb of San Diego, has introduced GolfBoards - the surf-inspired, motorized golf vehicle - as an exciting and fun way to maneuver around the award-winning course.

"Maderas is committed to growing the game of golf, and we believe this will bring more young people into golf, particularly in Southern California, because it's a vehicle they're comfortable with, and it makes the game faster and more fun," said Michael Flickinger, general manager, Maderas Golf Club. "We see this as an exciting new way for golfers to experience the game."

GolfBoard premiered two years ago at the West Coast PGA Show as an alternate way for golfers to traverse and experience golf courses in a style similar to surfing, skating or snowboarding. It has steadily gained traction and now Maderas is one of 150 courses nationwide, and the first Troon course in California, to offer the boards.

"GolfBoard is ecstatic to work with Maderas, which is continually one of the top-rated public courses in the country," said Brent Duclos, a GolfBoard representative. "Not only will Maderas be one of the best places to play golf in Southern California, it will also be one of the best places to GolfBoard! The undulating fairways coupled with majestic canyon views provide for a perfect GolfBoarding canvas."

GolfBoards are available for a rental rate of $20. The battery-powered boards can be reserved at the time of making a tee time reservation. For advance reservations, please call the golf shop at 858-451-8100. Renters will be required to watch a GolfBoard safety video and sign an insurance waiver prior to their round.
