Thoroughly enjoyable golf course. A little rough in spots and the greens could’ve been a little faster but I will have to play it again when I’m back here. I’m biased because in central Illinois where I live I can play ok courses for $20-30 so for SoCal this seems a helluva deal. Beautiful scenery in the foothills and great routing. Highly recommend Black Gold GC.
Diabolical Green Speeds
Green speeds are insanely fast right now. I’ve played this course before and have never played green speeds this fast. Fastest greens I ever played which made the round extremely difficult for an amateur like me. I consider myself a decent putter, Arccos has be putting on average like a 3 HDCP. 20’ putts with 1% slow you would have to hit 10’, it was insane. 3%-4% slopes were rolling back down hills. With such fast speeds, the subtle breaks consistently had playing partners putting the ball past holes by 10+’ and often times just off the green.
Pace was decent 4.2, would play here again cause the fast green speed isn’t the norm.
Entitled Asians
Round was going along fine until we drove up to the par 3 16th tee. We're a group of 4 Asians we're on the tee box who had jumped in front of us. They grinned the round to a halt
I tried to call the pro shop no answer
Course was in pretty good shape. Friendly employees. 4.25 hour pace.
Great course with reasonable twilight rate on Friday
One of the greatest courses in Orange County.
Pretty touch course but fun to play. I definitely play here again.
Steep in price
Played on 12/23/23
Course saw a little rain days prior
For being priced at 165 per player I expected a little more in course maintenance.
Tee boxes are in rough shape to say the least
Muddy, patchy, barely any grass and very uneven.
Course is challenging , with hilly layout,
Lucky to have an even stance on any shot.
Ball is usually above or below your feet.
Greens were very nice but felt like we were putting on an ice rink.
Challenge
Condition was good but not great. Pace was slow. No course marshall to kick people along. Bunkers seldom raked. For the price to play this course there should be more rakes and better rakes. Bunkers the size of bus need more and better rakes.
The price I paid was good because the rate was not the regular price.
Slow pace is partially because of course policies such as cart exit signs over 100 yards from the green. Rediculous for the time it takes to park the cart and round trip to the ball walking, really slows down play.
All in all hit it straight or bring a lot of balls.
