This Arthur Hills-designed layout stretches up to 6,756 yards with dramatic elevation changes and panoramic views overlooking Orange County and portions of the Newport Beach coast. The front nine requires accuracy and the back nine offers some interesting risk-reward opportunities. Water hazards come into play throughout the course, most notably a pond and cascading waterfall on the par-5, 18th hole fronting the 20,000-square-foot clubhouse. Black Gold GC also features a lighted driving range. blackgoldgolf.com
