DeLaveaga Golf Course & Lodge

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.

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.

They don’t mow. There is no fairway just a big lawn. Greens are decent good bar and range. Not worth the money.

Beautiful day, great place to play golf, and friendly staff!

Tee boxes are uneven which lead to tee shots above/below your feet. Fairways are long. Bunkers don’t have sand. A little investment in these areas could go a long way.

I was able to book this course with a “fire deal”. I was able to play till about the 13th hole before it was too dark. The staff and people are great. Course is beautiful with great views. However, 2 things to note.

1. This is a course on the more challenging side. Narrow fairways with A LOT of hills. Most of your second shots will be above or below your feet. This is not a drawback, just something to note for beginner golfers.

2. The fairways and scoring areas were extremely hard. Myself and the gentleman I was playing with had a very hard time with our wedges due to the conditions within 100 yards of the greens. The ground seemed hard (no give) with inconsistent grass/dirt. Maybe it was the time of year but other coursed I’ve played the last two weeks did not suffer from this.

They sanded the greens earlier in the week , couldn’t tell if the bunkers were greens or greens were bunkers !

It is a very challenging course. Most of the fairways are narrow. You need to be precise with your shots. If you’re a bit off to the right on the front 9, say goodbye to your ball, if you’re a bit off to the left on the back 9, same thing. And you need to dial in your distance as well, a little short or a little long, balls go bye-bye.

But if you bring your A-game, you will be challenged & rewarded.

Didn’t want to honor my Golf Now prepaid Hot Deal, even though I showed them my email confirmation. Rather than simply calling Golf Now (who they willingly and gladly contracted with to access their subscribers) to resolved the issue, they seemed more intent on arguing with me. I will never return to this course. The greens are in good shape, but the tee boxes are in terrible condition. There are too many good alternatives nearby.

I was trilled to play this course. The staff were inviting, informative, and professional. The course itself was in great condition.

The water situation and the fungus that's spreading across the greens isn't helping the conditions. They really should try putting sand in the sand traps. The beach isn't far...

Tee boxes, Fairways and greens in terrible shape throughout. Uneven tee boxes that didn’t look like they’d been mowed in weeks. Fairways looked like a cow pasture. Greens were burned in several places. Definitely not worth the $80+ we paid on a weekday. ,
