Black Gold Golf Club, an Arthur Hills championship designed golf course, is Orange County's newest public daily fee premiere golf facility. The club's name is a by-product of its location, built on the old Shell Oil Field in the foothills above Yorba Linda. The golf club is the focal point of the Vista Del Verde master planned community which eventually will include 1700 homes, two parks and an elementary school.

Black Gold is "Presidential in Nature" as this Arthur Hills designed public-only facility is located ½ mile east of The Richard. M. Nixon Library and Birthplace.

The golf club is easily accessible from Imperial Highway (90) (map and directions).  Black Gold is only minutes away from the 91 Freeway which is accessible from Interstate 5 and 15 and State Routes 55, 57 and 60. Its central location assists avid golfers looking to play a premiere course in Southern California on a moment's notice. The course has become a favorite of native Southern Californians as well as tourists visiting Disneyland and the Anaheim Resort area, as Black Gold is only a short 25-minute drive away from all that Anaheim has to offer.

In 2000, renowned architect Arthur Hills designed two top 10 rated best new golf courses in the United States (Golf and Links Magazine).

 

"I believe Black Gold Golf Club has all of the necessary elements to be a first-class golfing facility. With dramatic elevation changes and panoramic views along with a variety of solid golf holes and features, Black Gold will be a great playing experience.Through the years I've had the opportunity of working on a number of highly acclaimed golf courses. I'm very confident that Black Gold, with its beauty, challenge and strategic options, will join that list of honored designs."
