It was a great GK Guru/GK Cup Final day at Black Gold today, especially for me. JohnnyGK was able to arrange for 36 holes of play to accommodate the possibility of a second match being required. Thank... Continue »

Played here Monday 7/25, 630am. I'll defer to the previous and most recent reviews, as they are very accurate. A couple of notes from my visit on 7/25. As mentioned in other recent reviews, driving ... Continue »

Participated in the first GK Review Guru golf course visit on Tuesday joined by Dconnally, sngernz and dethman. Super time playing and really enjoyed the fellow GK’er company. Black Gold Golf Club was in great shape. I have been playing it about once or twice a year over the last 4 years during the transition of the turf from rye grass to kikuyu. This was a long process but I’m very happy to report that only in rare instances is this transaction not complete. The course has a beautiful uniform look now and consistent playing surface…more difficult than the previous rye grass, but a welcomed improvement. I’ve always loved the layout of Black Gold with is many scenic vistas and large variety of holes. Every hole plays different and makes you use all parts of your game to score well. I think the 18th hole is an exceptional finishing hole and love how the clubhouse and patio overlook it. As far as the conditions, best I might have ever seen at Black Gold Golf Club. Greens smooth, moderate speed, holding shots. Fairways lush (boy nothing like a ball sitting up on a kikuyu fairway), rough although inconsistent in varying length was very challenging green-side (that kikuyu will grab any slight miss strike – at times I hoped to be in the bunker instead – and I am not a good bunker player). Bunkers had quality sand and were firm at times. Tee boxes were lush, level, groomed and in great shape. We teed off at 12:00pm, got around pretty quick in just under 4:30 hours. Never waited. I had lunch before playing on the patio (chicken parmesan sandwich – delicious) served by Derricks Grill. Afterward the round stayed for a cold beer and $5 taco Tuesday, even better. If you have time plan on eating at the golf course as the food is tasty and affordable. The driving range was closed for a natural grass renovation. We caught the course on the very day the bulldozers were there. However by 3:00pm it was already open as mats only. I’d play this course regularly if it were within an hour drive. Unfortunately its a 2 hour drive in traffic for me from Westlake Village. However when the opportunity is there, I'm going to play it as much as I can.
