De Laveaga Disc Golf Course
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
De Laveaga Disc Golf Course ("Dela") is a world renowned 27-hole disc golf course in the hills above Santa Cruz, California. It boasts one of the original long disc golf courses, with some holes measuring more than 500 feet in length. The 27th hole 'top of the world' is one of the most famous holes in disc golf. The tee box is situated one hundred feet above the hole and nearly six hundred feet from the pin.
Designed by Professional Disc Golf Association hall of famer and World Disc Games founder Tom Schot, Dela (as it is known to the locals) was installed in the mid-1980s and was one of the first organized courses for disc golf. Each May, the disc golf community descends upon Santa Cruz, for the Masters Cup, one of the PDGA's national tour events and one of the oldest tournament events in disc golf.
