About

Nestled in the foothills of Yorba Linda, Black Gold Golf Club sits on the site of a former Shell Oil Field. Arthur Hills, the course's designer, thought the location, with its dramatic elevation changes and panoramic views overlooking Orange County and Palm Beach, was the perfect place for a round of golf. On a clear day, the views stretch as far as the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island. The challenging layout is filled with narrow, rolling fairways and fast greens accented by thick patches of punishing rough. Due to the hilly terrain, a flat lie is hard to come by. The front nine requires accuracy and the back nine offers some particularly interesting risk-reward opportunities. Water hazards come into play throughout Black Gold Golf Club, most notably on the 18th. This par-5 finishing hole incorporates a cascading waterfall.

Black Gold Golf Course - Yorba Linda

The people working here were great. The course is very challenging...not a beginner course. Greens are very hard and crazy fast.

Very fun to play if you have the game to do it. If you don't have the game...practice and then go play it. I really enjoyed the challenge and will be back soon.

Greens are too firm and fast

Tee to green it’s a great course. Greens are unputtable for amateurs.

What happened to black gold?

I’ve played this course around 5-6 times, it’s a challenging fun course but the condition of it is terrible now. When you’re hitting off crab grass in the fairway you know it’s bad. I think the course is way overpriced for the condition save your money and go to Coyote hills or strawberry farms.

Great Course

Really good overall. The course layout on front 9 is difficult but playable for intermediate golfers. Back 9 was completely different and good. Course conditions can be a little better but overall fair. Nice views and great scenery.

Really a fine place for a playing golf. The enviroment is beautiful. The staff are friendly. The course is well maintained and challenging. Easy to excess, if you live around OC, Corona, Riverside, or even LA County.
