Black Gold Golf Club

This is a great track and layout. Some incredible holes and for what we paid at $30 compared to $100+ on the weekends....stick em up, we robbed em! Pro Shop gave us a $15 discount because it was the last day of high school match ups which had the course slowed down, so we just slid in on #10. Like I said, the layout is fantastic, greens are fantastic, fairways just ok, as well as the rough. When conditions aren't pristine at courses anymore, I just bump it and everything is just fine. If you've never played this track it's a must with a phenomenal finishing hole and many other great holes. Every hole sits all by itself for the most part. Go Play the Gold!!

The course is always fun and challenging. The staff was great. They went out of their way to be friendly and that the pace of play was good.

I hate to say it but the sand traps are vey well kept. Definitely makes a difference.

As always, much appreciated!

I was desperate to play. It’s close to my house. Course is uninspiring. Uninteresting layout. Weird tricked up greens, spotty fairways. Typical overpriced OC track.

Greens are in great condition. Pace of play was a tad slow primarily due to the foursome in front of us, not anything course related. It’s a fun, challenging course and great change of pace from other courses in OC. Bunkers were above average,, but a few hard patches. Definitely will play here again.

The greens were in very good shape, but for a high end course it needed a lot of work. The fairways were in very poor condition and the layout was very average except for a few holes. I played it about 3 years ago and at least it was in very good shape.

Although I don’t live in the area, when I have an opportunity to play this course, I will. I decided to treat a friend here who had never played here before. Much to our dismay, we were unaware the greens were just aerated which didn’t allow us to experience Black Gold as we expected. The course itself is still beautiful and challenging but the first experience for my friend wasn’t what it should have been. This course is still one of my favorites and I’ll return. I just hope next time I travel the distance to play here and find the greens have been aerated.

I enjoyed playing this course, unfortunately the greens had just been sanded and we couldn’t putt. I didn’t see that on the golf now app. Had fish tacos after and they were great, staff was nice.I will be back!

We are not aware of that greens can have almost more sand than bunkers. We should be alerted before the reservation was made.

Best course in OC, I can understand why the normal cost is so high, just a beautiful course, but the only way I can afford it is to golf during the week for a reasonable cost.

Good course layout, nice condition, but not worth high green fee. Don't understand why the green fee is so expensive.

Black Gold Golf Club is an exceptional GC but, it’s the pace of play here that is getting worse over the years. People tee off from the tips and only hit it 180yrds OB half the time. Don’t get me wrong, I love the course and I sometimes play bad but, I at least respect the people behind me and pick my ball up and move on.

Furthermore, I’ve got nothing bad to say about this course except the pace.

Great golf course

Very challenging

Friendly staffing

Clean facility

2 weeks ago pro shop confirmed they found my lost item. Then, in just a couple of weeks they managed to lose it. Also a 5.5hr round on a weekday. Food is poor and beer selection limited.

Fun Arthur Hills design in Cali which is rare. Good views and nice use of the land.... beautiful homes line the course. Greens rolled nice and true in the dead of winter cant wait to visit come summer!
