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.

Wide fairways were good

Aerated greens made putting tough! Tough greens to hit! One par 3 back tee 230 yards!

3 HOUR FRONT 9

Teeing off at 1:30 you’d think you would finish but of course you won’t when the shop lets you book and tee time when they know they sent 2 college teams out in front of you… oh and they had me pay for a rider fee so $100 later to just play 9 holes in 3 hours …. Awesome job guys. For that reason I will not be back to black gold . Great greens , friendly staff , bad business ethics.

Nice challenging course

First time playing black gold. Really like the course layout and views. Challenging course due to the various different slopes. Even hitting straight long drives doesn't mean your going to hit on flat lies at all..Greens are extremely fast. Puts a premium on your short game around the greens. Definitely a fun time.
