Over Priced

Greens are in good shape overall; tee boxes were horrific. One would expect better fairways and roughs considering the money that they are charging. There are better options available. Even though I have played this course numerous times over the years, I doubt we will be back. It's over priced for what you get and most of the holes were cart path only for no particular reason.

Black Gold Golf Course - Yorba Linda

The people working here were great. The course is very challenging...not a beginner course. Greens are very hard and crazy fast.
Very fun to play if you have the game to do it. If you don't have the game...practice and then go play it. I really enjoyed the challenge and will be back soon.

Greens are too firm and fast

Tee to green it’s a great course. Greens are unputtable for amateurs.

What happened to black gold?

I’ve played this course around 5-6 times, it’s a challenging fun course but the condition of it is terrible now. When you’re hitting off crab grass in the fairway you know it’s bad. I think the course is way overpriced for the condition save your money and go to Coyote hills or strawberry farms.
