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.

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.
Terrible customer service
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.
My DeLaveaga Experience
I was trilled to play this course. The staff were inviting, informative, and professional. The course itself was in great condition.
Seen better days
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...
Not worth the price
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. ,
Same old Dela
It was a beautiful day.. I joined the other two gentlemen who are good players. The fairways and greens are good. But tee boxes are in bad shape.. I have played here many times. It seems they do have problems maintaining tee boxes. Don’t know why. Recommend and will play again.
De la viega
Great public course. A lot of narrow fairways. Side hill lies. Expensive for a public course.
Horrible condition
Have played this course over 30 times. Tees are in horrible shape, fairways are combination of dirt and weeds, sand traps are basically dirt! Combined with being way overpriced. Will never go back!!
Wouldn’t play again
Too many blind shots. Fairways were I very dry and in rough shap
Track is in good shape, but what’s with the bunkers?
Had a nice round with a coupe of friends, got the hot deal of the day on golf now for 44 bucks. I’m glad we got the discount because the bunkers were mostly ridiculous. Hard clay? Dirt? No drainage? We live in Santa Cruz, by the beach, I know where to find some sand guys. Jeez
