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 change of pace
Course fun to play but challenging especially the back 9. Club house area a little torn up for renovations. No hot food so we went to Scottsvalley to eat.
fun
after work round at 5pm that was completed 2 1/2 hours, in perfect weather, as a single. Shot in the 70's. Course is a really lovely muni...wooded, in the hills over looking the area with some challenging par 3's short par 4's and a couple of par 5's...including one considered a #1 handicap and worthy of the distinction from the tips. Tips are a short 6200 and thought the price was a little steep for a super twilight time. Greens good with a little trickiness...tee boxes could use a shave. I could imagine this getting crowded and slow on weekends...so, understand I was fortunate and lucky. will definitely come back out. new pro shop and restaurant is under construction.
Camp
Played with a local who helped out with local
knowledge of the course.
Beautiful Sunday in Santa Cruz
It was a leisurely round on this very nice course. A great beginner intermediate course for everyone
DeLa!!
Love this course!! Never gets old. Great layout. Each hole is unique. Course conditions dictated by the amount of rain Santa Cruz gets annually. The "City" is always concerned about water usage, but the greens, traps, and fairways are always well maintained.
Beautiful course, great value
Love this course. Challenging with moments of “you’ve got to be kidding” to “I actual can par this one.” Starting off with a difficult par 5 starts you off with a bang but makes hole #2 seem easy!
Fun
This course is tough but fair
Played Dela yesterday and was very pleased with the condition of the greens and fairways.
Great value for money.
Will play again soon
Course condetion
This is my ist time played at this course.Im impress the condetion of this course.Althogh some area is in renovation still well keep.So early in the morning when I started playing Do only takes 3 hours and I’m done Therefire I don’t have no idea how fast is the pace of play.I difinately recommend this course to my friend .Place to injoy playing golf.
Santa Cruz Gem!
Course conditions could not have been better in early February. I lived in Santa Cruz for 3 years and played Delaveaga many times. This time stood out, invited a coworker to join me and he was impressed with the value and quality of the course. Pasatiempo gets all the hype in Santa Cruz, do yourself a favor save $150 by playing Dela!
It was nice.
The location was nice in the trees top of a hill. Fair ways were a little tight but enjoyable.
Best Course for the Price.
This place is a wonderful value. Most times you can play 18 holes for under $20. The staff is always super nice, always great deals in the pro shop and you can always hit under a 100.
Nice group
I'm an average golfer and I ended up playing with a group of three guys round my age, mid 50s, who were shooting par for the course for the most part and playing quick. They were excellent players and stellar people, I never felt like an outsider and they brought my level of play up just by being with them, super nice and friendly guys. I got lucky that day. The weather was perfect and the course in great shape.
