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.

Golfer Reviews
It’s a Hussle… the course looks great, the greens looked great the fairways were pretty beat up. But no matter where you hit your ball, it’s gonna be a bad lie. You have no chance to play well there. Fairways are like hallways and so hilly! You have no idea where to hit. It’s like a giant miniature golf course.. it’s gimmicky. Your either hitting up a 20-30 ft hill to the green or teeing off a cliff. You hit your tee shot straight it’s just gonna roll down into a ditch. The 17th is a joke.. the carts are nice. But to pay that price to have bad round, no way. I won’t be playing there again. They’re just taking your money.. I tried it and I’m done.. will not recommend it, I’ll recommend not to play there..
A little rough around the edges.
Fun track, great layout. Pace of play was amazing. Finishing in 3:20. Green surrounds need some work. As does the rough. Greens and fairways were not bad. A little overpriced but what isn't these days.
Fantastic layout and great conditions
I was impressed with the staff's great attitudes, everyone was more than helpful. The course was excellent, almost kept it under par until the last couple of holes. Pace of play was average for public golf at about 4.5hrs.
9 minute tee times
You pay a premium to play and should have tee times that represent that. 4 hours in 11 holes played. Greens in nice shape, staff is super friendly just pace of play can ruin a day and with 9min tee times you are setup to fail every time.
