DeLaveaga Golf Course & Lodge

While the staff was helpful and friendly, the course was dry and to firm. Needlessly balls were lost, hard bounces were common and while the majority of the course was green the conditions were poor. When the layout is primarily target golf, you should be able to hold shots, but that was not the case. The area near the coast is a special one but it is not a value or a pleasant experience.

From the time we checked in we felt welcomed and enjoyed the layout of the course. We look forward to being able to play when the greens have completely recovered from being sanded.

I made my reservation and drove 35 minutes to the course. Was told at the pro shop that they would call me from the range. No call came and I showed up to the tee at my scheduled time. Nobody was there so I drove down the first fairway to ask the group ahead what their tee time was. The fairway was pretty ratty as I drove to the group ahead and They confirmed they were the tee time just before mine and they were a foursome. Went back to the tee and another foursome had shown up, two were wearing jeans and tee shirts. They were not interested in me joining them so I called the pro shop. They were not aware and said I could go out 45 minutes later. Since they didn’t have a starter and it was already after 2 pm, I asked for a gift certificate , which they gave me. Overall, it seemed like a very unorganized and ghetto type experience and I not only felt overdressed but, strangely, relieved that I didn’t get to play.

I would not have paid money to play with the greens as bad as they were. It would have been nice to have been warned. Is there a way to get a refund?

There are areas of the course that need some trees trimmed. For example, on the (Par 3) 10th hole, I hit a perfect shot heading straight for the green and the ball was clipped by branches that interfered with the trajectory of the shot. This should not happen when hitting a shot from the tee blocks.

Two key points to keep in mind. I know I am not that good of a golfer, average at best. And, I was not happy at the staff's inability to resolve a dispute about the charge;

We used a Golf Now Hot Deal. When we arrived we were charged the Hot Deal price. Our third player had paid prior to our arrival, but when I paid they charged me a second time for him. When we questioned the charge the staff insisted the third player was not charged, although he had been issued a cart. I had refused a receipt at check-in, a mistake on my part. This left a bad taste in my mouth. It will be a long time before I return. Probably not a good reason not to recommend to others. were simply not happy

My girlfriend and I played here for the first time, and loved it. We found that it is a relatively challenging course that requires a good amount of precision. The only criticism I would have is the pace of play a little too slow, probably due to the fact that it was cart path only when we played and there was group of 5 in front of us. Other than that no complaints.

Absolutely loved it here. Beautiful course that was very well kept. Pace of play was great. Great value for what we paid. Definitely coming back and recommending it to my friends.

Really fun course, distance is relatively manageable but Driver will likely stay in the bag for 14/18 of the holes on this course.

Par 3's are beautiful as they require shots either very downhill, or over a hazard, and the par 5s are very gettable even with a long iron off the tee.
