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.

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.
Great Day for Golf in SC!
Beautiful day, great place to play golf, and friendly staff!
Could be a lot better
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.
Challenging course and rough conditions
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.
Very disappointed
They sanded the greens earlier in the week , couldn’t tell if the bunkers were greens or greens were bunkers !
Challenging course, bring your A-game
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.
