Black Gold Golf Club

This course is not an easy layout for a high handicapper. I played a morning round from the white tees with (3) women who all played from the reds, including a high school golfer. All were very pleasant playing partners and could hold their own very well. I'm a fairly high handicap player currently. The greens on this course are undulated, well guarded and are quick and roll nicely. You need to be careful at which direction you are putting from and control speed. Fairways and tee boxes are in good condition, sand traps for the lone one i was in was in good shape. The true test is to keep the ball in the fairway and not in the environmental areas of which you cannot hit out of. A true fairways and greens except for the par 3s and a few holes where the fairways are a bit wider. They have new carts with nice gps and plenty of power. Saw the cart person once or twice during the round, make sure you catch her or you will wait until the turn before the clubhouse. Back 9 seems to be more difficult than the front. I thoroughly enjoyed my round shot 87, pace of play was good but during the week and fairly early. I would not pay the regular rack rates at this course as it is higher than some other courses in the area.

This course is everything you want in a golf course. Greens were the best I’ve played on, yet very challenging, fairways were what you want to play off of, never had to relieve myself. But, the tee boxes could’ve been in slightly better shape, other than that the course is what you want to golf on. My only complaint is wrapping my head around $95 green fee yet seniors get a $37 discount. I didn’t mine paying the $95, but giving a $37 to seniors, just makes me think what is the real value of the course.

If you get a chance. Play it. It’s a great and challenging course.

Hadn't been to BG for a couple of years, but it was in its usual great condition. Greens are always in A+ shape. You can tell they care.

Greens were in ideal condition!!!

Pace of play was fairly good. Only had to wait a bit on par 3’s.

As others have said, they do a great job keeping the course in excellent condition.

Loved playing here (great course, beautiful setting) but the course needs to employ Marshalls to keep play moving. Round took over 5 hours. For what I paid that’s just too much.

Fun golf course. The rolling hills and terrain will test your game. Tee boxes in great condition and the greens are great. Nice golf carts as well. I enjoy playing this course when visiting the area.

Live this course. Beautiful, challenging. Round was over 5 hours. Too long. For the price, there should be a Marshall on the course to oversee of slow play.

Greens are very tough. Course is in superb condition.

Great course with beautiful scenery. Greens were in great condition. Fairways need a little work but played well. A little expensive, but not terrible.

It’s a beautiful course but I was surprised to find that there was no one managing the post at the first tee. The pace of play was SLOW and I wasn’t sure if we’d finish off the bat because we started at 420 but at 8 we were only at hole 13 or 14 till we called it quits because it got too dark. Also the guys behind us hit into us towards the end and I could hear them laughing. I got hit into last time I was here and one of the guys I got grouped with got so mad he just left. Like I said, beautiful course but I’d have a lot more fun at a cheaper course and wouldn’t have to worry about getting hit into with the same pace of play.

Last played here over 10 years ago but returned to do a tournament practice round. Course is demanding. Demands length and precision. Around the green you need to be proficient with different types of lies. Greens were bumpy and on the slow side but that might have been due to having a 3:39 tee time.
