DeLaveaga Disc Golf Course

"Add wooden stake by each tee to put dog leash on."

"Amazing course. Tons of tricky shots. Beware of the poison oak! "

"Trees for days but always fun. Super cool people as well"

"Beautiful, easy to get lost. Lots of crossing holes. Loved it. "

"Really technical, lots of hiking, but really fun overall. Smells great because of the eucalyptus. Watch out for the incredible amount of poison oak too.😬"

"Amazing!!!"

"nails. per usual "

"Epic course. Punishing trees abound! "

"God, I’m out of shape."

"Love it!!"

"Tough 18 hole layout!"

"We went when the course was set up for a professional tournament. It made it very difficult. Still had a great time. "

"Top Tier "

"Course has stood the test of time. "

"Beautiful course! Exceptional conditions!"

"Beautiful course with a lot of fun shots. There are several intersecting fairways and greens that conflict with play on other holes. With the land available, the quantity of holes diminishes the quality of course. "

"I’m visiting from Oregon. I like the local community feel to the course: it’s obvious that there’s a tight-night group that maintains and improves it. Compared to the last time I was there 10 years ago, the tee pads are larger and more consistent. I love how many holes can take your lunch money: most holes could be a birdie or a double bogey. And, most holes have several ways to attack it. Wish this was my home course. "

"Drove 7 hours to play and it was worth it! "

"Lots of poison oak so watch yourself but this course is awesome. Loads of fun. "

"As advertised. Winter layout a tad lackluster "

"De best"

"Biggest outhouse I’ve ever seen"

"The course was beautiful and well maintained! Definitely worth playing"

"Great course but appeared to have significant storm damage with many trees down. Not a lot of parking and only port-o-potties. Lots of technical shots, elevation changes and drop offs behind the baskets. Loved the variety especially coming from our flat Florida landscape! Bucket list item checked!"

"Amazing course"

" This course is amazing, so beautiful and a perfect challenge."

"Wow what a place to play! Epic views and a tough test for your game. A good number of blind shots that experience will help with but overall I found it to be fair. Locals were friendly, great atmosphere. Hope to be back soon"

"Hard but fun"

"Get ready for hike. Definitely one to play though. "

"Fun but Tough Odyssey layout. RIP 2 discs"

"The new layout is awesome. "

"Worth the 20yr wait! "

"Beautiful and punishing - nothing like it"

"Amazing"

"Bitch of a course! Hate the mutha fuqn Oaks!"

"Very nice!"

"First time playing this sport and had an absolute blast! Hope to throw more."

"Beautiful course. Loved the difficulty of the course. Well kept. The last hole is great. There is vendor on the course for purchases and refreshments. Beautiful scenery and wildlife. Played the 29 hole course. "

"Amazing! You’ll lose discs and love it :p😂😎"

"Great course with light amenities. A lot of unusual, challenging holes that punish stray shots. It had much needed pin position indicators on the tee signs. A few blind holes and crossing fairways."

"the best course i’ve ever played. DeLa is an amazing place with a great community. Thank you to everyone who helps to maintain the epicenter of disc golf "

"Holes 5 & 6 cross fairways Holes 13 & 16 cross fairways Why not just have a 27 hole course?"

"Shot 20 over par and lost two discs, loved it."

"No indicators on pad signs regarding pin placement, but all UDisc maps were correct. This place can eat you up, but you can’t help but love it. "

"Amazing course. Be ready for a hike "

"The best"

"Amazing course"

"This is probably the best course I've ever played (in the short time I've been playing)"

"Bucket list! Layout is perfect with intuitive tee placements. Lines are challenging but feel fair. Not too long for my par-train noodle arm (250 feet). Feel like a turd even acting like I have something to say about this iconic course. "

"Stunning "

"The best get dela’d"

"Amazing "

"Best course I’ve ever played"

"I guess I'm not pro enough. What a beautiful and challenging course. Yes, challenging. But if you are an avid thrower you'll love it's intuitive design "

"Great difficult course. Lots of fairway crossovers and plenty of rollaways. "

"Just an incredible course. What needs to be said that hasn't already been said?"

"Beautiful course, challenging, and tons of fun. Good upkeep but nasty porta potty so warning on that 😉"

"Hard course ngl"

"This course is a gem!"

"Dang Ol dang Ol dang Ol mang "

"Great course"

"Hard to get a 5 star but DeLa gets it!"

"Great course, lots of blind shots first time playing, would recommend a spotter on a few holes. new pin location wheels on the tee signs would be ideal, so you know where to throw those blind shots"

"Friendly Locals, Beautiful Course, and if you're lucky you may even see a pro or two. "

"Iconic disc golf course. Challenging, beautiful, and fun setting. I played on a weekday afternoon and there was a good bit of people here so I imagine the weekends are packed. "

"Beautiful."

"The best there is to offer. Simply put, it’s tough to beat. Both disc-wise and experience-wise. Incredible stuff. "

"What an awesome experience to get to play this course! Would be nice to play again and have a better understanding of where the baskets are. A lot of blind shots."

"Course was a ton of fun. The bomb off the last hole is super cool. My only complaint is that it was pretty dusty when I was there, so my discs were constantly dusty"

"So many unique holes that have different shot options. No two holes are the same. Lots of elevation change, tight windows and some long holes make the course play tough. But it makes good shots so rewarding. "

"Course is in great shape, fun technical shots mixed with a few open holes. Overall a great iconic course"

"Amazing experience. Don’t miss playing all 27."

"It’s legendary. "

"Awesome views, great series of difficulty."

"Wicked fun course, moved fast, beautiful area."

"Amazing layout, has a little bit of everything for everyone. Tight lines through the trees to wide-open fairways. Most holes have a couple ways to play with different basket positions. Not a beginners course."

"Fuckin badass "

"By far the sickest course "

"De la is in amazing condition right now 💯🍻"

"What a great course, the history of it says it all. Gotta come back when all the holes are open after winter"

"Awesome course! Playing it for first time and blind was a challenge….but a very challenging course with brutal rough….put me in my place!!! If I’m ever within 100 miles again I’ll be here. Absolutely gorgeous setting, only con is it’s crazy busy…but to be expected with a gem I guess "

"It's really muddy after the big rains but otherwise the course is in great shape! Can't beat DeLa"

"Worth getting there on the early side. Classic course, punishing rough and rollaways in combo with iconic holes and great variety. A disc golf Mecca. "

"This place is hella dope. I’m not from around here so idk if I’m gonna play again soon but I highly recommend."

"Amazing as always"

"Such an awesome course!"

"Wicked layout, so many different shot types required. Concrete tee pads can get slippery with old fort and grimey residue, I wore running shoes, but wish I were hiking shoes with better grip as I slipped a lot. Basket indicators on some tee pad signs are either broken or not there, so some completely blind shots with baskets options and you won't know unless you walk 200ft to check out just start playing the hole."

"Beautiful course with amazing shots and amazing view. Worth the travel. Will be back fashooo"

"Beautiful & challenging "

"Great, but there’s 3-5 pin placements per hole and no indication of which one is in play."

"This course is impressive. There’s a reason it’s always listed in the top 100 in the world. 29 uniquely different and fun holes. Top of the World is a dream come true. The perfect storm of fun, nerves and technicality. I wish I could play here everyday. "

"Amazing course. Very clean as well!"

"Fantastic course. Only issue was figuring out which pin placement was being used, as it was my first time out here. UDisc was wrong in a handful of occasions, and with it being busy you don’t always want to run and check. Otherwise, come here and you’ll have a great time. Tight lines and great elevation."

"Well designed "

"Best course I’ve been to bogey none. That’s a lie. I got at least 10 bogeys. Lost no disc though so that’s positive"

"Excellent course overall. Lots of variety, tech, distance, danger etc. Very fun. Only changes I would make is holes 5 and 6 crossing over each other and erosion prevention by adding small barriers to prevent rollaway discs on the steep areas which would prevent people eroding hillsides and save some unneeded extra effort as well."

"Fantastic design, found it difficult to navigate which baskets were in on the day I came as I am from Out of Town. But fantastic design and difficult all-around!"

"Really challenging course for sure with trees ,bushes, etc, the course itself is great. Be aware that the course is filled with poison oak off the fairway so wear covered clothing. Make sure you bring lots of discs that you don’t mind losing as It’s very easy to lose your disc at this course. Regardless it’s a great course for experienced players. Enjoyed the round there."

"Epic "

"Loving the news Mach 7 baskets. The club is doing a great job clearing all the down tress this winter."

"Legendary course. Legendary difficulty. Well maintained by the local club $5 parking. No drinking water aery the course. Bit there is a porta potty and harsh station."

"Very nice course, certainly lived up to its hype! I’d agree it’s quite difficult even for what I’d consider an intermediate player. Helps to have a spotter on a few holes!! "

"Awesome course, so stoked I finally got to play it!! "

"Beautiful "

"This is a great technical course! It is very unforgiving in many spots where your disc could end up down a hill amidst loads of poison oak or worse yet lost in an area loaded with poison oak. If there was a rating for likelihood of losing a disc - Id rate as high. It has some really memorable and unique holes. Enjoy!"

"Absolute favorite course ever! This is what other courses strive to be. Every kind of shot imaginable, including motherscratching TOP OF THE WORLD.! This is a must on ANY West Coast disc golf trip. "

"Beautiful and rugged. Love this course"

"So much fun! So glad we found time to get here on vacation. Don't know what else to say except it's an awesome course with lots of technical shots. "

"Amazing. I’m 30 years late to my date with Dela but she was worth the wait. "

"Great course, well mapped "

"Absolute beast of a course. Easily the most difficult course I’ve ever played. Came here right after the PDGA made there stop and it was such a great experience. The level of variety and use of the hill is amazing. Also features amazing holes like Top of the World which might be my favorite holes in all of disc golf. This course will punish beginners and pros a like, but it’s a very special course "

"Spectacular "

"Best course ever"

"Just as challenging as expected. Very taxing but lots of fun."

"Great technical course with a big community of disc golfers. Lots of very difficult shots.."

"Lots of poison oak"

"It’s far but fun, bring your A game and play 24 holes it’s a beautiful course you will not be mad . "

"An absolute icon that lives up to the hype."

"Beautiful course. Historic as well. Layout is a little confusing at first, I suggest bringing a map! I’ve been many times and will certainly be back!"

"Better than Maple Hill for ams. Best course I've played without a doubt."

"Great course.only flaw is the pin position on the signs need to be more acurate"

"Adventure of a course, classic atmosphere, challenging with jovial locals"

"It's Dela, old and gold, what else can you say. "

"smasher of a course! got out-smashed by the gramps first time. "

"Amazing course through the Santa Cruz Hills. Pretty dry and Scenic in late April. Lots of birds. Several steep cliffs so watch out, a tough course. "

"An absolute bucket list course that is well maintained and has so much history as well as challenging and downright punishing holes. "

"Excellent course with lots of elevation change and trees in play. "

"There is a whole lot of poison oak throughout, so just prepare for that. Be mindful of the cliffs, we lost 2 discs."

"This is a beyond amazing course! Can be impossibly long around March and some holes are closed fitting wet months to avoid erosion. A few tough to navigate spots and hopefully someone will map this place soon. Lots of poison oak and cliffs so be careful. 4 and 19 could use a spotter if you have one"

"Beware of ticks! But otherwise an amazing place to lose your least favorite disc in a wonderful way."

"Some holes closed 😞 (2, 17, 25-27) "

"Beautiful and challenging. Mix of shots and just a wonderful landscape"

"Pretty well maintained course. Started strong, terrain is a little rough to play around. A few cliffs where you’ll never see your disc again. Well maintained, staff is friendly. Needs to have better maps! "

"Play with a group or someone that knows the course because looking for a rogue disc is no joke off the cliffs. So rad though! Shaded and awesome tee pads"

"Stay on the fairway."

"Awesome wooded course with great elevation changes "

"Not sure what to say... super fun and highly recommended!"

"Huck me right in the grass"

"Fun course. Extremely helpful and friendly locals!"

"Signature holes closed for the winter. Kind of disappointing when you only have the opportunity to come once a year but fun nonetheless."

"Great course, well maintained. Tons of different styles of holes. I do wish that all the holes were open year round, but understandable they need to close some for maintenance and erosion."

"Kind locals and tasty holes. What more do you need?"

"Very diverse shots. Prepare to lose a disc now and then. "

"Ugh. I hate to do this, but DeLa ain't what it used to be. Still a great course, but minus half a star for lack of crowd control and the impact it's having on the trees and erosion. Efforts are being made, but ultimately I think there will need to be a tee time system to control impact. Let's not love DeLa to death!"

"Super fun (but busy) challenging course with lots of variety. Only played 24 hole limited course cuz of erosion. Would play again. "

"To many crossing fairways."

"The best course I've played in a long time. Great variety of shots, tons of history, and friendly locals. Watch out for poison oak."

"Hole 2, 25-27 closed for weather"

"A couple washers are missing, so some scouting may be necessary to find the baskets"

"World class. As advertised. Quite busy on the beautiful Saturday I played. Fun to see a course packed like this. Only sacrificed one disc to Dela. "

"Pretty technical and bunch of trees but super fun. A little bit busy on Sunday morning unfortunately but good people!"

"Beautiful course. Dense trees and poison oak. Great people."

"Gorgeous course with great layout and plenty of nature nearby. Listen for the woodpeckers! Thanks to the friendly local who warned us to watch out for yellow jackets."

"Beautiful course! Some holes require a spotter if you’re not the most accurate. "

"Fantastic course."

"Beautiful course extremely challenging for someone who isn’t that good like me. "

"This course is savage you will want a disc that will carry to the right of the tee. Weather that mean a fore hand for righties or lefties have a great round lol "

"Historic and awesome in every way."

"Super fun! (Not my favorite course ever but pretty epic knowing this courses history!)"

"Pretty damn fun to play here! But be ready to lose a disc on a few holes shooting over oblivion of trees! Great course"

"Poison oak"

"badass course"

"Top of the world!"

"There are no baskets to catch the frisbees but it's still the amazing De Laveaga that will challenge all levels of play"

"Bigger than it looks, friend. "

"Oooooooh yeaaaaaah! Great course probably my favorite! Lots of elevation, open and wooded, well maintained. People are here but there are soooo many hole it doesn’t matter!"

"Great course layout with a variety of shots. Weird not having a cage to catch the disc on putts though. "

"New to the course I love how the holes are a bit tricky and long but definitely worth the trip"

"Challenging, not a hike for the faint of heart (or leg strength) "

"Travelled from CO to be here, was worth all 20+ hours of driving! Get here, stop reading reviews!"

"A bit muddy after the rains so some mud and stuff on a few tees but a top tier course for sure. DeLa is absolutely one of the best courses in the world. "

"Little confusing but we found our way eventually"

"Wet, with 4 closed holes. Still super fun."

"It’s the short track right now"

"Could use a course map"

"One off the bucket list. This course was equally difficult and stunning. Only complaint would be marking which basket is in play with so many options. There was no clear indicator anywhere that I could see aside from walking out to see."

"Much more sensible layout than I was led to believe from videos."

"One of the best courses Ive ever played. A true classic"

"Best course I’ve ever played"

"Best course ever"

"Shorter than we had in mind but that’s how we roll so pretty stoked .. "

"Amazing and humbling."

"Better than advertised if thats even possible... great length, technicality. Definitely has teeth"

"Fun as always, switched up the holes from last time. About time for a mow."

"The granddaddy of them all. IMO others since have tried to match or exceed the design aspects, alot have succeeded but Dela is the O.G. ps gclesko you posted on this app which has 4 different course maps available?????"

"Fun course in a small and beautiful area. Par fours are missing, and signs and map should be better to deserve full marks. "

"Solid. Guy at the pro shop was really cool. "

"Can I give it a 10/5 rating? This is a dedicated course ONLY for disc golf, and has it all. You want elevation changes? Signature holes? Bombers? 200-350ft technical wooded shots? Get ready to test every shot in your arsenal. Managed by a passionate community since the ‘80s. Top of the world is something you’ll never forget. Whenever i’m in California I make the trip to DeLaveaga because it’s my favorite course of all time. "

"The disc golf pilgrimage. Lives up to the hype"

"Best Course in California. Hardest par 3 course around. If you are within 100 miles, go to De La"

"Best of the best. What a day. "

"Doesn’t get any better. "

"This is one of the most iconic courses in the world. It does not disappoint. Great variety of holes. Some tight fairways, but fair. If you love disc golf, this course should be on your bucket list. "

"Great app"

"Very busy"

"Can't complain!"

"A few holes closed. Beware of losing your disc off a cliff "

"Some holes are closed due to seasonal maintenence"

"the gold standard of courses. Technical and bombs. Ending with the top of the world is fun and scary. "

"Challenging course made even harder by the high winds and tree branches crashing down. 5 holes were closed for erosion repair when I went. "

"The #1 course in Cali! Such a great park to play at with cool diverse holes. Can be difficult for Amateur players but still fun to play on. The only thing I disagree on this course is that hole 13 is really a Par 4, that is the only difference in not being a full 5 stars."

"Thanks to Maci of Monterey and Jeff of the Jungle for making this a fun day for me and my wife. Appreciate you helping navigate the course for us!"

"I beened de la"

"Awesome course- very hard"

"Course is great! I was very much not!"

"Long, tight, but really fun."

"Definitely the course you want to play if you desire a challenge. I would absolutely recommend this course!"

"Such a fun but brutal course! "

"Lives up to the reputation"

"Wow! 😼🎉 A couple of WTF holes like the “icebox” where we couldn’t even tell where the basket was among the trees, but a pleasure to play!!"

"Sick Course!!!"

"Great course design. Beginners will struggle"

"Truly the best course in the area. 29 holes deep for some good play. Plenty of unique holes. Great area."

"If you can only play one course in the area play here ....its hard but the view is epic and worth the long round "

"Really tough course. Great signage. Iconic top of the world. Disc-eating trees, brutal ravines and poison oak in the rough."

"I love this course! Tho challenging it is worth it! "

"Really difficult course. Lots of ups and downs. Prepare to hike."

"Amazing course. The only thing I would've liked better is if the course didn't cross over itself but overall a legendary course."

"This is the first course I ever played and it handed my butt to me. Your chances of rolling away a hundred feet are just about as high as your chances of having an amazing time playing this beautiful course located in Santa Cruz. There are so many different and challenging shots it’s hard to pick any one out. Up and down hill, wooded and open. The only thing its missing is a water hazard, unless you count the mini lake."

"Dope "

"Great day!"
