DeLaveaga Disc Golf Course, commonly known as "DeLa", is a world-renowned 29-hole disc golf course in the hills of DeLaveaga Park 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, known as "Top of the World," is one of the most famous holes in disc golf; the tee box is situated nearly 600 feet from the pin—and 100 feet above it. DeLaveaga placed #10 on Release Point's 2019 list of World's Best Disc Golf Courses.
Designed by Professional Disc Golf Association hall of famer and World Disc Games founder Tom Schot. DeLa was installed in the mid-1980s and was one of the first organized courses for disc golf. In 2011, the PDGA World Championships were held in California, and a round was played here. 2011 Worlds were won by local Nate Doss. 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.
