Madera Municipal Golf Course

Overview: Madera Municipal Golf Course is a city-owned and managed 18-hole public course in Madera, designed by Robert Dean Putnam. The official course page gives a par of 72 and describes fairways moving through vineyards, almond orchards and pomegranate orchards. That agricultural setting is the defining feature of the course, giving the Central Valley layout a strong local sense of place.

History: The course opened in June 1991 under Robert Dean Putnam's design. The current municipal presentation emphasizes the relationship between the golf holes and the surrounding working landscape, and it does not publish a dependable total yardage on the retained page. No later redesign is added without a source tied to this exact city course.

Did You Know? Madera Municipal is unusual in how directly its official description names the crops around the fairways. Vineyards, almond trees and pomegranate orchards are not incidental scenery here; they are part of the course's everyday visual identity and a clear marker of its Central Valley location.
