Welcome to the Maddox app, where the experience of our members is our primary focus. We have developed a custom app to enhance your experience on and off property. With the touch of a button, you can request your clubs from the bag room or even view and pay your statement. We have even created a digital membership card. We also have a full member photo directory and of course, you'll get the latest updates from the club. We hope you enjoy the new, digital Maddox experience. Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. The Maddox app will attempt to shutdown background GPS services when they are no longer needed.
