The "BABE" is now open! Opened today!

Wow, the IKE killed me today. Actually, it was just me not the course. Great conditions and excellent course. The BABE opened today, by the way.

Good track. Will return. Fun fun course and you can WALK IT!

ok, I wanted to give black gold one more shot. I really don't know why I do. After 6 times playing it, here is my conclusion. Black Gold is completely one dimensional off the tee and second shots. I find around the green to be fun in which require some creativity. In terms of the quality of Black Gold, I give it a thumbs down. Houses are too packed in and a minor error will result in losing your ball. I played it when it was at its best and worse. For the price, its not worth it, period. Maybe charging $50, but that is unrealistic knowing what they paid for the land. If you want to score well at this course, don't take out your driver. I mostly broke out my two iron yesterday and scored a 84. Boring course.

Not bad today. Tee time was at 6:30am on Wednesday. Pace of play was under 4 hours! Not bad! Greens good, fairway good, and my golf BAD!

Ok, I just don't understand why management can just say, "our greens are completely terrible and we are discounting tThen, after we paid, the Starter mentions how terrible the greens are... Oh well.. Its too bad this course is so horrible. I think it has a GREAT layout and located in a beautiful spot. What a waste if management can't get this course up to a premium golf course. Only worth it if you play in the weekday mornings.

First of all, if you enjoy the game of golf, this course is not the place for you. The type of people this course attracts just boggle my mind. The ironic thing is they are not punks, they "look" like golfers, older golfers. This is the second time I played here, and almost got killed twice today. One on the 18th hole, were the party behind me decided to tee off while I was JUST cleared to shoot my second balls. Hence, it was not me (nor anybody) slow playing. NO MARSHALL on the course.

Yes!!! Black Gold Management is listening! They are going a great job with this course! Finally....

I went on the weds. and it was crowded. 5 1/2 hrs. Greens are great on the front 9, horrible on the back 9. And I mean horrible. Acne problems on the back 9 greens. I am thinkin the people who play at westridge on a regular basis don't fix their ball marks. Beware, a lot of pushy Koreans and I mean, a lot. I had my bag on the back of the cart, just about to wrap it in, and one of the locals, drove off with my bag. I had to pull it off, while he drove off. Very odd. I will not be playing there again.

For being 8 minutes away, I would love for this course to be my home course, but its way over price in what you pay for. I would recommend playing on the weekday to justify playing. The course is fun and provides some interesting creativity while playing. GREENS are completely horrible, period. I really don't understand why. If there was a competition between Birch Hills Golf Course and Black Gold, Birch would put them to shame. They need to slow down the greens and they look spotty, the color green, nor, poorly taken care of.

Hey, I really like this course. $23 to walk. Not bad. Great place to practice your short game. Seriously, when prices for green fees its hard justifying spending $$$ to work on your game. Greens are really well taken care of. The thing I can complain about is they PACK in tons of people on the course. If you don't get there early on the weekend, just plan on waiting 4 1/2 hours to play 18 on a par 59. I like playing on the week day. No wait, and if the weather is forecast for rain, I recommend playing. NOBODY on the course.
