All golfers are welcome here. Known as one of the top ranked public courses in California, DeLaveaga was designed by architect, Bert Stamps, in the late 1960s. Originally laid out as a par 72 with a thoughtful course design, narrow landing areas, a short layout and spectacular views, this now par 70 is awe-inspiring and it continues to live up to its challenging reputation. (Hole #10 was voted one of the toughest holes in Northern California.)
