Black Gold Golf Club 1 Black Gold Drive • Yorba Linda • California 92886

Tucked away in the quiet foothills of Yorba Linda, Black Gold Golf Club occupies a spot that showcases the best views in Orange County: gently sloping mountains to the east, the wide valley floor spread out below, and the sparkling Pacific beyond. On a clear day you can even see Catalina Island in the distance.

The entire venue has been designed with entertaining in mind, from the 20,000-square-foot Craftsman-inspired clubhouse to the secluded, charming ceremony site. Meticulously manicured fairways (this property is consistently voted one of Southern California's best public courses), stunning lakes, and a serene waterfall set the scene for beautiful photos. Your guests are sure to appreciate the convenient, plentiful parking and close proximity to a wide range of accommodations.

Your ceremony will be memorable at The Falls, a completely private area next to a cascading waterfall and surrounded by spectacular vistas in every direction. Vows are exchanged under a pretty white arbor, which can be draped with flowers or hung with lights, fabric, lanterns—whatever accents you choose to complement your theme.

With floor-to-ceiling windows that look out over the lush 18th green, the clubhouse's Lakeview and Valleyview Rooms can serve as intimate reception halls on their own, but may also be combined to create one grand space for larger, more lavish affairs. During the cocktail hour, your guests can mingle on the adjoining patio and enjoy watching you cruise around below in a golf cart, posing for photos on the course as the sun begins to set behind the twinkling lights of the valley.

Couples love the personalized attention they receive from the staff here, who are quick to respond to questions and are known for going "above and beyond" what's expected. They're seasoned pros, and will walk you through the planning process with reassuring ease. Most importantly, they'll be present on the wedding day to act as vendor liaisons, coordinate the timing of events, and take care of last-minute needs. All you and your partner will need to do is show up, say "I do," and have the time of your lives.
