DeLaveaga Golf Course & Lodge
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.

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!!!
Quality slipping
I've loved this course for 25 years and was disappointed to see how bad the condition of the course was in. The greens are still good (yay!) but the tee boxes are horrendous. Chewed up, long weeds, uneven...a mess. Fairways were patchy at best. Had to play winter rules. That all being said... may go back on Thursday.
Good Time!
Course in great shape. Pace was fine. Challenging layout. Reasonable price. Love De La!
Better than most
Decent round, no issues with pace and the course was decent. Range was not great and the layout to get going was not clear. For the money it was a win, wish it was closer.
A fun challenge
Take your A game with you. It's a very fun, but challenging layout. Keep it on the short stuff and have a ball.
Over priced.....
The greens are well maintained but many tees are in very poor condition. The restaurant has limited hours. The weekday price with cart of $80 is waaaaay to high.
Bunkers
The inability to rake fairway bunkers and the unfortunate watering of it makes it like concrete.
These bunkers should be GUR.
Great coast side public course
Great coast side public course. Bring your fairways and greens game. Greens are in great shape. Its all about staying out of trouble here if want to score well here. They also added a real nice outdoor driving range side cafe anf picnic area.
Staff
staff was very friendly, weather great,haven't played here in about 4 years,still a great course if you like them doglegs
