DeLaveaga Golf Course & Lodge

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.

Good golf day
Course is very challenging but not too bad if u know the course. Fun day....
Greens in good shape but fairways were a bit thin.
Many T boxes were spongy and need to be leveled and mowed.
Bring all your skills
20+ handicapper. Course management is a key here or you can lose a lot of balls. Enjoyed the challenges and many variations of shots required. It plays along the ridges of the foothills which means the balls often can roll off and down away from the fairway line of play.
Delaveaga makeover rec
Delaveaga is a wonderful Track but in poor condition. It's my recommendation that Delaveaga transitions to a desert style naturalist golf course with a Single line irrigation system that will shrink the irrigation footprint of the golf course. By doing a naturalist style golf course, Delaveaga will save the City water while simultaneously allowing the maintenance staff to manicure a smaller portion of the golf course and bring Delaveaga closer to resort style quality.
Hidden Gems
What a wonderful surprise to find the DaeLaveaga golf course… Great layout and challenging, it’s a golf course. I will definitely play again and again and what an amazing value for this golf course. I highly recommend you give this great golf course a try.
I want to love it
Great and challenging layout, but the greens were awful. Nobody repairs their balls marks on the greens.
Got thru in 4 hrs
Good value ..regular local started at 1:30 and finished by 5:30…good pace
No fairway
The "fairway" was not mowed having mostly not grass but clover ~3~5 inches long resulting in ball lost after hitting the center of the course or time-spending to find the ball. It also resulted in longer play time due to every golfer's effort to find the balls in addition to the cart on path only.
Biggest Rip Off Ive Ever Witnessed
For $84 twilight, this may be the worst deal I’ll ever see in my golf career. Started off the round with rude staff…. The course was just horrendous. I don’t think there was a fairway, only rough. The tee pads were more crooked than my bad knee. Genuinely, don’t come here. You may this is a joke, but go play Boulder creek twice or anything in Monterey. First time in my life, I feel like k have been violated.
Deplorable conditions
I play a lot of golf and have to say that the course looked and played like it had been closed and not attended to for months. $90 for punched greens, fairways that hadn’t been mowed in weeks, tee boxes with grass longer then tees and there was more sand on the greens than any bunker. They should be ashamed of the product they put out for the price they charge.
What a rip off.
Full price golf for a course that hasn’t been mowed in two weeks. Lost a dozen balls and 10 were in the fairway. A little warning about course conditions would have been nice before booking for $90. Will not be returning anytime soon. Same for the rest of the other singles in our group. Everyone felt the same.
Rough Course
This was the worst maintained course I have ever golfed in California. I get it has rained a little - but, it looked like there has been no maintenance to any fairways for the last year. I’ve never lost so many balls in the fairway in my life.
Overpriced
Played there yesterday and dropped out after it took 4,5 hours to play 13 holes. The course is in very poor condition. For a serious golfer it isn’t worth the money.
Conditions were bad
Course was very wet due to recent rains. Cart path only. Many shots would plug so badly you couldn't find your ball. Overpriced for these conditions. I would play it again if it hasn't rained for a month.
