played on Sept. 27, 07. this was one of the worst golf courses ever i have played. Fairways were horrible conditions. Dead spots are everywhere and terrible water drainage. Hard time concentrating on swing due to loud noise from near construction areas. Total waste of green fees.

Played Sunday the 23rd. Had a 11:15 tee time. teed off about 10 minutes late and was told on the first tee that they had a tournament in front of us... 5 1/2 hour round... Had to leave early. Yes the fairways are in bad shape, but they are admitting it and gave me a half off coupon for a future visit. All I ask is for communication... When I call to make a tee time, tell me there is a tournament going on and that the course is in bad shape. Don't wait till I get to the first tee. Also, let's lower the price right now guys. This is not a $115 course!!!

Black Gold needs to lower the rates, period. More like $50 per round. When paying $85 to $150 to play at a C-of course, justifies joining Yorba Linda Country Club. At least they take care of their track. And BTW, Yorba Linda and Coyotte Hills do not have the same conditions that Black Golf experienced with the dry heat AND they are 5 minutes away from each other. hmm... B.S!

Management at Black Gold decided to give the golfer a $4 crappy Nike Power Distance to justify the cost? Complete insult.

I avoid playing at this course of all cost. When paying $100+, I rather play at Coyette, Tustin Ranch, Oak Creek, Strawberry Farms, and etc..

Awhile ago, I took at friend from North Carolina to play at Black Gold. He was amazed how much this course cost. And I told him there is only a couple of courses in orange county that is worth $100+.

Black Gold Golf Club recently re-turfed its driving range hitting area and half of its tee boxes (the ones now in use) with summer heat tolerant 328 Bermuda. Those areas, our greens and bunkers are in great shape as we head towards the end of summer. We are however experiencing less than ideal fairway and rough conditions as our "cold season" rye grass struggles with the near record summer heat. We do believe our experience warrants our rates, but we are electing to give each paid golfer through the end of summer a free sleeve of Nike Power Distance golf balls as a way of saying thank you for sticking with us when we are not at our admitted best. We hope you appreciate our forwardness and honesty and we are thankful for your patronage.

Played today 9/15, I was very disappointed with the condition of this course. Fairway, tee box and greens was no better than a public muni course, not worth the $$$ at all. A shame the layout is great, but so what? Marshall said that the recent heat really caught the greenskeeper by surprise, which is a lot of bs. Nearby courses such as Coyote hills is 10x better condition. Will not recommend at all, unless they really put effort to heal the course.

Played yesterday 9/7. This course doesn't even worth $85, from tee to green I can't say anything good. All tee boxes are a mess, fairways are even worse, the green run too fast about 12 in stimp meeter. No wonder, the starter giving us 2 sleeves Nike balls to keep players keep coming back to play this course. I only like the lay out and design but the condition should be below 6.0, I won't coming back to play in this course. People who play in this course are people who lives around the golf course.

Played here on August 31...it was hotter than a motha out there. We teed off at 8:03am...played the round within 4 1/2 hours. The course was in great shape considering the hottness. They did over water the fairways since they are getting ready to punch them. Some tee boxes were closed; which was a bummer since we wanted to play the tips. Shot an 81; great score for me.
Over all the course was fun and I would for sure play there again. However, I will wait until it is a little cooler to see how the course responds. I highly recommend playing this course; if you can play on a weekday.

Considering this is afavorite of mine I have to give it poor marks right now. The tee boxes are a mess though they are in the process of replacing 1 or more on every hole. If you play the blues you co... Continue »

Considering this is afavorite of mine I have to give it poor marks right now. The tee boxes are a mess though they are in the process of replacing 1 or more on every hole. If you play the blues you could be hitting anywhere from the tips to forward depending on what they are working on. The fairways are terrible with lots of bare spots, divot damage and severe over watering. Because of the water at least half the holes were cart path only which really slows things down on this course especially since they don't tell this. Also I don't thing they mowed most of the course because of the water so the rough is bad being thick and wet. They definetely should not charge full price for these conditions. I would recommend staying away for a few weeks until things have improved.

As i have read from others black gold is a golf course that has taken a pounding. Half of the holes were cart path only and because of that there were more divots than grass. They are resodding many of the tee boxes so the ones in use are totally ripped up. They are making alot of attemps to improve the course, but because of this there are many areas being neglected. Then to the greens. They are bad as usual. I dont think this is fault of the course just the people that play there. All though i have seen many times people driving carts in areas they are not supposed to be but i guess the marshalls are to interested in place of play. Which to their credit has improved and is very good. A lot of the local courses are offering specials due to course conditions, but maybe they get enough play. This wont be from our group untill the conditions improve.
