A Beautiful Challenge

The course is very well-maintained and is a challenge of negotiating medium to narrower fairways, continual changes in elevation, and what are arguably some of the quickest greens in Orange County. Black Gold also has some of the nicest golf carts in Orange County (even in comparison to Pelican Hills!); which some courses tend to overlook. While its prime-time tee times may be on the more expensive side, $76 for a tee time before 4pm was a no-brainer! Would recommend to anyone who is of a higher skill level that enjoys beautiful and challenging courses.

Great course

I enjoyed playing this course as a high handicapper, with great greens and lush fairways. The amenities were fantastic, with GPS enabled carts. Would definitely bring a group back here.

Nice Course but Overpriced

The course was in good condition and the staff is friendly. The price is quite high for that course, but it was a good experience.

Beautiful course, 5 tee boxes to choose from and you had best be honest with yourself about what you want to bite off ! Little slow at times but, overall great course.

1st timer

The course was beautiful. Some repairs were being done so we had to take a different route which took us across the 18th fairway. Could be dangerous. They also put two 5some groups out one after another, which really slowed my group down. Will defiantly play again.

Disappointed

Greens were inconsistent all day. Disappointed because there was no warning of them aerating the greens. If I’m paying $140 for a round of golf, I don’t think it’s an unrealistic expectation for the course to be in tip top shape. If it’s not, adjust the price accordingly. Didn’t mind paying $140 on a Sunday for my fav course but definitely felt like I paid above value.
