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 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.
Buy a lawn mower
Course is super short and will punish you if you are wild off the tee. They desperately need to cut their fairways! There really is no distinction between fairway and rough. The greens are OK. For the price you can find way better course in the area that have better conditions. The pace of play was so slow the day I played, took 5 hours. Although, i believe it was probably due to the fact that there was a tournament early on in the day, so I don’t blame them for it. I also recommend NOT going to their driving range. I think they are still using the same balls from 15 years ago. It was almost comical the condiditon of the balls.
Slow-Veaga
I like almost everything about this course except it's painful pace of play. In an effort to be friendly and open, they allow too many five-somes on this course. The course Marshall's (that you see often) never do anything to push the slow groups along and so a round that should take 3 1/2 to 4 hours to play on a relatively short track inevitably takes 5 hours to play. I once played the front nine in 3 hours... before I gave up and walked off the course. If anyone wants to know the singular reason for the death of golf - it's the laboriously slow pace of play.
Need to cut the grass.
On a Saturday morning I would expect that the greens and fairways would have been cut.
It appeared as if it had been a few days on the greens and a week on the fairways. Yes it was wet, but not bad enough to stop the carts, so mowers could have done their thing.
This course is so good when the conditions are up to standard.
Great time
Had a great time with my son andthe staff was great tim took time to talk to my son about high school golf and made sure he had what he needed
Enjoyable course to play
Some challenging holes, but overall a great place to spend with friends.
The course was in great shape
Fast greens, lush fairways, lots of trouble, good fun.
Little known special!
Great course with challenges on most holes. Never get tierd of playing there. Under going renovation to the restaurant and restrooms in main building, but does not affect the golf!
Very good muni
You must be accurate here or bring extra balls. Fairways in below average condition right now.
No driver needed just a ball that listens!
Course is fun with plenty to think about.fairways are narrow but playable,there are a few holes like #10 were some local knowledge will help.other than that a good course to tune up your short game✌️
