DeLaveaga Golf Course & Lodge

The course has an excellent layout but the tee boxes and fairways definitely could use some tending to. Felt like hitting out of the rough no matter where you were on the course from tee to green. The greens were in pretty good condition which was nice. It's just not worth the price given the condition of the course.

I love the course—it offers a good challenge without being too easy. In the temperate Santa Cruz; there’s a nice mix of length, difficulty, and overall, the course is very fair. Some holes are tight while others are wide open. If only they had the budget to redo the bunkers and flatten the tee boxes. With sneaky coastal views and glimpses of the Chaminade on the back nine, this course has a little bit of everything. It is sort of like the poor man’s Pasatiempo.

Delaveaga is a good track. The greens are maintained well, and routinely aerated. However the greens should be mowed down a little more to increase the speed of the greens and have the speed of the greens reflect their maintenance quality.

Pace of play was very slow one. group holding everyone the back. Need a Marshall to regulate pace. The tee boxes were in bad condition and the fairways needed to cut. My cart keep dying on hills. I was very disappointed.

I’ve been playing this course off and on for 20 years and extremely disappointed in the level of care and upkeep for the entire course.

There is just very little upkeep of the tea boxes or fairways to even a minimum level.

The course fairways did have some rough condition's. Fun layout and tough challenge.

The weather couldn’t have been better! The pace was perfect. The beers were cold. The greens were true. Haven’t played here in over a decade, but I will definitely be back soon!

Delaveaga golf course is a wonderful Track but in Mediocre condition. It's my recommendation that Delaveaga transitions to a desert style naturalist golf course with a Single line targeted irrigation system that can substantially shrink the irrigation footprint of the golf course. With tee box only watering instead of entire tee area watering. By transitioning to a naturalist style golf course, Delaveaga will save the City water while simultaneously allowing the maintenance staff to MANICURE only a small portion of the golf course and allow Delaveaga to compete with nearby golf courses

Sand traps need work/ pretty hard packed. Tee boxes need work mowing/ seeded.

Bar needs to serve full menu all day. Finished at 2:45 had to have appetizers. No on course beverages or food.

The tee boxes needed to be trimmed. It was like hitting out of the tough on every tee shot.

Played the course several years ago and thought it was a solid course... Things have changed! I truly like the layout... but, the conditions have gone down hill. Most of the fairways are 50 % grass, either green to slightly dry, to just plain dirt. Let the grass clippings fall as they my.

The tee boxes are just about unplayable. On the par 3's the divots out number the grass blades and some of the repair baskets are empty. As for the other boxes, they are so uneven and lacking of a mowing it's hard to get an even stance... thank goodness for the 2 club length rule!

Now for the greens and bunkers... they just punched and sanded this week! I give them a pass on that as I do with the bunkers. Both had about the same amount of sand... the issue is, the patrons that use the course, find it beneath them to either rack the trap or fix their ball marks. SAD!

Now, the question is... will I play the course agin, if I'm in the area? probably not... but I might go by and judge the course before the decision to make a tee time.

Fun layout. I’ve played this course 100’s of times. The layout is fun. The tee boxes are in horrible condition and a lot of the fairways are dug up and dirt, no grass.
