Look past the strange name, Black Gold GC is one of Orange County's leading golf courses.
Designed by Arthur Hills, this championship public golf course is spread out over 219 acres over the hills in Yorba Linda, South of LA.

It has a Links/ Desert course feel to it with contrasting desert vegetation surrounding the course. Few of the Par 5 are reachable in two but it does punish wayward shots. Being located in the hills, it will test your imagination and shot shaping in order to reach the green, especially avoiding the houses that line up the course. Very few of the holes were flat, with most of the holes either downhill or uphill with elevation changes - makes it more interesting!
Condition
During the visit in early July, the course was in overall good condition. Greens was fast and true although there were several un-repaired pitch marks which was really annoying.
Clubhouse/Service/Pro-Shop
Service was efficient and good. The Pro-shop was well stocked with apparel, shoes and equipment. This being a public course, the clubhouse can also host meetings, parties and the like.
Price
A solid course, a nice layout for under US$100 including cart
