What an experience I had at Black Gold! From the moment I set foot in the clubhouse I felt like I was at an exclusive club. Every employee I came into contact with greeted me with a smile and a warm welcome. On the golf course, I felt miles away from everything. It was windy the day before so the day I played (in May) was so clear and beautiful - I could see Catalina Island! I played with my husband and another couple who were having a great time as well. The fairways, greens and rough are all in superb shape. The service and atmosphere can't be beat at Black Gold. I am thinking about becoming a member of their Player's Club. It's the best deal in town! And they are now prorating it to $99 for the remainder of 2007. If I play even just 3 more times this year it pays for itself, not to mention all the other free stuff that you get!!!
