DeLaveaga Golf Course & Lodge

A beautiful golf course surrounded by woods and canyons - not a single house in sight. Every hole is different and most require placing your ball in the right place off the tee - so leaving driver in the bag on most holes is the wise play. An enjoyable walk with deer, turkeys and other wildlife roaming around - plenty of birds singing in the trees. Toast your round on the patio overlooking the 18th hole and enjoy a delicious and hearty lunch and/or a cold beverage of your choice. All in all a delightful place with friendly and knowledgeable staff who make you feel right at home!

perfect day to play golf, pace was a little slow, alot of walkers. always a fun coarse to play

Great course as I've played here many times over the years, but this is a muni course that is way over priced for what you get. I'm sure some of the conditions are due to the drought, but just don't feel it's worth paying more than $45-$50. Greens were in good condition.

because it has some challenging holes. Many elevation changes. Some greens recently aerated.

Gorgeous day, fast greens, good condition and challenging layout. Bring our best game - you'll love the course and vistas.

Conditions are ok. The sceneries are beautiful. Nice trees. Greens are good. Fairways are just ok

Greens and fairways are in good condition consider that we are in drought. Better than a lot of courses I have played. Nice driving range and practice greens.

Nice course friendly, challenging but fair, good condition

On our way to San Francisco we stayed a few days in the former hippy capital of California. They have a few courses, but delaveaga is value for the miney spent. Fairways were only average, but the greens were good and fast.
The course itself is challenging, but not overly difficult.
We enjoyed our roundwhich we could do in under 4 hours.

The round of golf was very enjoyable taking in consideration the drought conditions of California.
The staff was very friendly and very accommodating. I would recommend playing this course.

The fairways are dry with plenty of bad lies for your golf ball. The course has difficult par 3's from the blue tee with lots of trees and barancas to overcome. The greens are in pretty good shape though. The fairways are generally very narrow and not forgiving if you don't hit the ball straight.

Hole number 10 is still the toughest Par five I've ever played ...

Gorgeous course! Only problem is the drought is taking its toll on the fairways. If it gets worse I would suggest a free fee reduction 30-35 dollar range. Greens are challenging and the par 3's can kill your momentum after a few errant shots into the forest lol.

A must play if you haven't played here before

Great course! It was in great condition yesterday despite the serious drought that CA has had for the last several years...

The last time I played this course was over 20 years ago, I have wanted to go back ever since. This course is perhaps one on the best in the Monterey area, all things considered. Golfnow makes this reasonable, and that's perhaps the only thing I would have an issue with... The cost. I will go back soon and often. Loved it.

Great value and fantastic greens! Finished our round on a Saturday with a 9:30 tee time by 2 pm ... Challenging course

"De La Torture" is one of the finest in Monterey Bay. Despite the drought, the greens were perfect and there was some grass to be found in the landing areas off the teas.

Breakfast or lunch there is the absolute best! And the 19th hole on the deck with a few libations and liars dice can cure your missed putts.

Fun course with a lot of trouble and sloping fairways. Greens are in excellent shape and putt very true. One of my favorite courses to play. Staff very friendly and assist in any way you need. My golf cart ran out of power and before I hit my second shot, a Marshall had contacted the clubhouse and I had another one. Never had that kind of service on ANY other course.

There were a few dry areas mostly outside of the fairways as water is a big concern in Santa Cruz. The greens were soft but surprisingly fast. The course is in much better shape than it was the last time I played...about a year ago.

Most beautiful golf course and friendly staff. Even though I came down from San Jose with heavy traffic, I could come up with happiness.
I strongly recommend this course to golf buddies. I played at the blue tee so playing was excited.
