DeLaveaga Golf Course & Lodge

staff was very friendly, weather great,haven't played here in about 4 years,still a great course if you like them doglegs

Got some good driving range advice, where to miss. Thoroughly enjoyed the round (except for the double). Nice people.

Fairways were dry and rough, although, greens were well maintained. Driving range is a little shoddy, golf balls were old, dirty and muddy. I am not affluent nor am I poor, played a lot of courses for less $$$ that were better maintained. For some reason over the years I was compelled to play here, sadly when I did, disappointed.

Challenging yet Nice layout.. pace of play on the front is a issue could use a Marshall.. back is long and forgiving..

Greens were the only good thing about the day at De La

Fairways were hard and dry and the carts had to be in at 7:30 so a 4 pm tee time only get's you just past the turn. Wish I would have known because I would have walked but to drive all the way back to the cart barn and then walk back out only to have to wait again on every shot just did not make much sense. Pace was really bad - I know it was a Saturday but maybe starter can do a better job with spacing with a priority on golfing experience rather than just turn a buck and pack um all in there. It's cool, I forgot what a weekend was like on a Muni and that's on me. I'll play a Wed or weekday afternoon and hope for better The day was not the greatest and as any real golfer will tell you "Pace Kills" sadly, we were tracking for an almost 7 hour round! Finally, $$$ for 9 holes seems like a lot - Whoa! Haven't been here for a while and it'll take a lot to bring me back. Bad on you "De La"

Also, a heads up re: DeLaVeaga; hasn't been watered since last summer. Rain in January has given way to hand watering greens to survive. more than 5-10 dead trees on almost every hole. Fairways are so hard, you could drive the green on many par fours with a duck hook. I was hitting low and getting 250-280 off the tees. Problem is the wedge approach bounces on the green like a driveway. Links golf only.

One of the best municipal courses in California!

Always a fun round here.

Greens were rolling great!

It’s January and we are golfing, no complaints!

Course needs some TLC! Decent layout though short. Greens were a mess. Some due I’m sure to the recent rains (soft) but it seems no one repairs ball marks. Fairways (loose term) were a hodgepodge of different turfs and very wet (again recent rain). Beautiful area and for a GolfNow special it was worth going. Just don’t expect pristine.

The course was in good condition, and although I was playing behind two foursomes as a single, the pace was good. The Marshall even offered to move me through the two groups in front of me at about the 8th hole. Very friendly and helpful staff!

The course is pretty tight (high handicap standards) and strategy forces you to layup on many of the par 4s. Overall, a fun and challenging course. It felt like a narrower Seascape, with smaller greens.

Was not made aware that all putting greens were heavily sanded 2 days prior and sprayed with dark green liquid fertilizer that morning, Took the half the fun and challenge out of the round! Unplayable and messy!

More dirt than grass on fairways if you like hitting of the cart path this place is for you!

The support staff @ Dela is very helpful...

Non of them can break 85 on the course but they All have the killer swing advance......

A must play course when visiting Santa Cruz ...

Love this layout! Look forward to it’s challenges each an every time!
