Located just a short distance from Anaheim, Black Gold Golf Club can simply be described as, "a dream," which is appropriate when one considers how much oil was discovered in the foothills of Yorba Linda. (You're likely reminiscing over "Beverly Hillbillies" reruns, but there’s no oil here anymore – just a 4.5 star course per Golf Digest and home to one of Arthur Hills’ finest championship layouts. Built in 2001, its undulating fairways are accompanied by beautifully manicured bunkers and quick, smooth greens — a shining example of what one expects Southern California golf to be.
The Arthur Hills design for this Orange County gem was built upon the tenets of "beauty, challenge and strategic options"and in his own words:
"The collection of holes at Black Gold offers one of the most diverse experiences one will find on any golf course. From the tee shot on the first hole to the approach on the eighteenth green, each hole has its own unique mysteries and challenges. Black Gold`s character is a perfect balance of strategic playing options, beauty and challenge that players of all abilities can enjoy."
Spanning over 6,756 yards from the tips and having a course/slope rating of 73/133, Black Gold Golf club is every bit of challenge as it is beauty, and this beauty has five distinct tee locations on each hole for scratch golfers and weekend players play alike. You’ll find challenging bunker placement, constant undulation, a waterfall on 18, and some of the most stunning vistas you’ll ever see overlooking all of Orange County and Long Beach.
Before you start your round, get loose at Black Gold’s 100% lighted practice facility with natural turf tees and practice greens to work out kinks and avoid a trip to the Chiropractor. While you’re improving your game, swing into their pro shop where you’ll find the biggest names and all things golf. Be sure to tally up the day’s work with a cold one and some top-notch grub at Park View Grill – and if you haven’t had enough picturesque views after 18 holes, the 19th hole at Park View Grill offers patio seating that overlooks the 18th green and it’s waterfall.
Don’t pass the chance to play one of Arthur Hills best designs in the foothills overlooking Orange County at Black Gold Golf Club.
