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.

Escape the heat
I’m more inland and temperatures reach the 90s so Santa Cruz compared to Monterey this is the move. Challenging course but always been a good time.
Ugh
We played behind a 5some which never should’ve happened. Slow play, ridiculous and uncalled for!
Great Layout Not Great Conditions
The course has a great layout and is a lot of fun to play however the conditions of the course are disappointing. There are a lot of dry/dead spots and the tee boxes are really bad. The staff are all great just need to fix the conditions and it would be worth the money currently the price is pretty high considering the condition of the course.
Great day of golf
The course was in excellent condition. The staff were very friendly.
🙃
An amazing golf course experience ,quite and gorgeous
Perfect shape the green is just very enjoyable.
Shop is very nice good costumer service and a grill restraunt as well. Good service good food
Excellent Santa Cruz option
Fun course. Good condition. Challenging but fair.
Maintenance needed
Bring your putter and enjoy the well maintained greens because that is where the grounds
crew is spending all of its time !
Tee boxes, if you can call them boxes, terrible. Fairways have not been watered or mowed, no second cut….
I’ll stop! Disappointed for this historic track that deserves better!
Going to the beeech
Love this course.. I just wish it wasn’t over a 100 on the weekends. Hot deals sit green fees with a cart around 60-80 bucks so I’m happy with that. Hole 10 can suck it but this course is good challenge, makes me feel like American made wood products compared to plastic made in…. 8/10
In better shape than usual
The course played as well or better than any time in the last ten years. Short but challenging shotmakers course. Bad shots are generally lost here. I would not pay more than 50 but am a bargain golfer.
Course was in ok condition. Some of the tee boxes were terrible. Greens were in great shape. Pace was slow 5:15 round.
Disappointed
I'm sorry guys. I love the course. It is just getting worse and worse. I know there has been a lot of rain but to lose your ball in the middle of the fairway because of the length of grass was just bad. It takes longer to play because everyone is looking for their ball. 5 1/2 hour round. Then the price has basically doubled to play. Nope. I normally play in the Sant Cruz area about 10 rounds a year.
Good luck finding your ball
How hard is it to either cut the grass or tell us “all” prior the grass hasn’t been cut for a couple weeks? Waste of $100. Thankfully it was a nice day.
Crap course not with the money
They don’t mow. There is no fairway just a big lawn. Greens are decent good bar and range. Not worth the money.
