DeLaveaga Golf Course & Lodge
Rating Snapshot
About
Perched in the hills above Santa Cruz, DeLaveaga Golf Course & Lodge features plenty of elevation changes as well as tight, tree-lined fairways making this short layout anything but a cinch. The result of the tight layout, however, often translates into long rounds as higher handicappers look for their golf balls in the woods. Designed by Bert Stamps, the golf course opened in 1970. Conditioning is average, but DeLaveaga Golf Course & Lodge's green fees are a small fraction of its more famous neighbors.

Nice course - slow pace & no help from course
Nice course - terrible pace of play making a poor experience
Local course
Fun course. I wish that the tee boxes were nicer and that there were more Golf now hot deals. The regular rate is too much for this course.
great course for cost!
Great 9 hole course with well maintained greens! Fairly easy and straightforward, with just enough fun challenges to keep it fresh!
Bad shape
Course is completely full of patrons at the restaurant and the driving range. So they are making good money. The conditions of the course are horrible. The play was slow 5 hours for 18 holes and no employee of the course to help. Dead spots of grass every hole I needed to move my ball to a nice patch of grass on nearly every fairway. Every sand bunker has grass growing into it. Severe wet areas but the water is not helping the grass. Greens are slow and full of divots. Paid 100$ way over priced.
But they have new solar panels in the parking for everyone’s pleasure.
Excellent day
I'm glad that they offer the occasional Golf now hot deal.The regular rate is too much for this course.
Greens are punched
Was bummed to fined out greens were punch and sand was all over them
Sanded Greens Aug 29th Makes Putting
This is one of my favorite courses with a great layout that is challenging, but fair. However, with the greens being sanded on Aug 29 & 30 2020, it makes it a lot less fun. I'd avoid this course for the next month until November 2020 when the greens are back to normal.

Love the layout, but DeLa appears to be pricing themselves out of reach of the local market!
Good course. Not in the best condition.
The greens were in pretty good shape. However the fairways were in desperate need of more water. And some of the sand traps did not even have sand. Good course however, and very friendly staff.
Hidden Gem
Course is so challenging. You have to wlak songle file do wn so.e fairways. lol
Greens sre fast and tricky.
Always a great day at De La!
Average Muni
Staff was great. Course was beat up bad. No fun driving the fairway and sitting on dirt. Had to move my ball 3 feet to find some grass. Like to play clean “as it lies”. No chance for that here. Won’t play again.
Great course and staff was super helpful
Our TeeOff Was at 7:50 this morning and we got there a hour early to hit balls at range but found out there range wasn’t open till 8 am so we started are round ice cold and it took us a few holes to warm up. we finished hole 9 at turn and asked the pro shop staff if we could start over because of are misunderstanding about the range and not being able to be warmed up. They said no problem and set us off again at 9:45 which was super cool! we got to shoot 18 and played a fantastic round super happy will be back for sure love the place. They didn’t charge us for the start over and were super great-full Definitely saved to the favorites!!!
