Black Gold Golf Club

Julie and Victoria were the best. They were attentive and responsive. We searched many other locations but the setting and value were definitely the best. I would highly recommend Black Gold. The staff was excellent and our day went off without any problems.

Julie at Black Gold did a wonderful job with my ceremony. I barely had to do anything and she took care of everything, My day went perfectly and it wouldn't have been the same without her help. She helped my photographer get great pictures and was super friendly and helpful. If I could do it all over again I would, again, again, and again!!

The venue was absolutely gorgeous. The food was incredible. Every one was very friendly. However, we thought every thing was going to go so smoothly, because that's what our wedding coordinator kept telling us. The day finally comes, and more than half the time, she was NOWHERE to be found. The DJ had to keep asking us if we wanted to do the next event in line because he couldn't find the coordinator. We couldn't either. I had to go up to some random person that worked there and asked them to cut the cake. I felt this was something the bride shouldn't have had to worry about. We paid for 3 hours of open bar and they tried to charge our guests after one hour. The coordinator forgot we paid for the extra and had to go look at the receipts. It was just little things that I wish she would have taken care of like she promised. Instead people were coming up to us. Which stressed me out at our own reception.

Julie, Victoria, and their staff were amazing!!

We choose Black Gold not only for the beautiful location, but primarily because of Julie’s knowledge and willingness to work with us. From signing the contract, through the wedding, to the reception, no problems were ever encountered. Julie’s attention to detail and suggestions made our day extraordinary.

We heard from many of our guests that the staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. The food was delicious, and the views were fantastic. We would recommend Julie and Black Gold to our friends and to anyone seeking a memorable wedding location.

Julie and her team were simply fantastic. It was a perfect venue. The food and all the timing were spot on! Couldn't have asked for a better time.

My husband and I went to a several venues trying to find the perfect place for our reception. We were looking for a place that not only had a ballroom but would also work for pictures as well. Black Gold provided both of those but that isn't the only reason we chose Black Gold. There was a miscommunication about our first appointment to look at the venue but when we should up and no one was there from the wedding staff another staff member from Black Gold showed us around and then Amy, the food and beverage manager, showed us the ballroom and went over some things with us. When we rescheduled to meet with Julie she was very apologetic about the miscommunication and was very friendly and easy to be around. She wasn't pushy with trying to get us to sign and put our date on hold to give us time to discuss our options. After careful thought and comparisons with other venues we chose Black Gold.

Whenever we went to Black Gold throughout the year after signing our contract and leading us to the wedding the staff was very accommodating and friendly. Julie was very good about emailing me back whenever I had questions.

The day of Julie was above and beyond helpful. I couldn't have asked for the day to go better when it came to the venue. I can't wait to see our professional pictures that were taking around the gold course. It is a beautiful place to have a wedding! I have had so many family members and friends tell me how friendly and polite the staff was. I have only heard good things about the staff and everyone loved the food.

I would recommend Black Gold Golf Club to any one. Julie and her staff are amazing and you won't regret your decision if you chose to work with her and her team.

Black Gold was amazing! Everyone there was so friendly and helpful and Madelon was absolutely amazing! They have everything planned so perfectly and will help you to customize in any way possible. Madelon answered all my emails, met with me to discuss all the details, and put everything together without any problems. The day went so smoothly, they helped keep us on time and had everything planned so there were no questions about what to do or where to be. It helped me to not worry about all the details since I knew Madelon had it taken care of. And the location itself is gorgeous too. We had a great time!

The Black Gold Gold Club in Yorba Linda is #1. The staff is wonderful and very helpful. The grounds and ceremony site are beautiful. I would highly recommend this venue to all future wedding couples.

For all the future brides out there, if you are looking for a beautiful, outside venue with a golf course and amazing wedding coordinator.... Then Black Gold Golf Club in Yorba Linda, CA is the perfect venue for your future wedding. Julie booked and helped us with all the budgeting details and Madelon was our wedding coordinator for all the details. Madelon was amazing. she was beyond professional and if I had any questions through out the entire process and up to our big day. She was just an email or phone call away and usually responded the same day within a few minutes to a couple hours. It definitely helped with making myself, as a bride, the ability to be able to have her there whenever to answer any questions. Our big day went beyond smoothly and any problems, Madelon was on top of them. It was stress free and I can definitely say our big day was PERFECT thanks to Black Gold Golf Club. I would recommend them in a heart beat!!! Thank you. :)

Black Gold is a beautiful country club. We had been looking at other places and as soon as I was driving up the hill, the view was breathtaking. We met with Julie Spencer, who was beyond helpful and nice. She answered all our questions. My husband and I had other venue appointments, but nothing compared. We called Julie back to book. I worked with Madelyn (Julie's assistant) who was extremely nice and helpful. She always had ideas and was always making sure I was happy. She was very professional and always got to back to in a very timely manner. The food was provided also by Black Gold and it was amazing as well. I got so many compliments on my food. Everything about Black Gold is amazing. It was perfect!

amazing team ! did everything they possibly could to make us happy , my most favored vendors of all :) gorgeous golf club not to mention

This venue was great. The views were spectatular and the people who worked with us were phenominal. I couldn't have been more pleased. We recommend it to anyone without reservation.

My husband and I had our wedding (ceremony and reception) at Black Gold this past October. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, it's like something out of a dream. The food was so delicious and had many options to choose from. Madelon and Julie were absolutely great and VERY helpful! They emailed back answers to my questions either the same day or next day and were very flexible and responsive to our needs. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more, we couldn't have asked for anything else. All of our guests had nothing but compliments and nice words to say about the venue, food, and staff. We highly recommend this venue!

I loved having our Wedding at Black Gold! Everything was so beautiful and very professional. I coud not of asked for a better day on the hottest day of the year. The only thing our guests said was the line was too long to get a drink during the cocktail hour and hopefully in the future they will have more bar staff. Our crowd were big drinkers too. :)

*Review for the Wedding Venue*

A friend of mine had her and her husband's wedding here. When my hubby and I got engaged, we started looking for venues and this was the first venue we visited since it was familiar and my friend really liked this place.

When we did the tour, Julie Spencer, was really friendly and out going. She showed us the tour of the reception and ceremony locations. When I mentioned I really liked chiavari chairs, she was so nice to offer us the chairs for free! (normally, it's an upgrade of $7-10/chair). Overall, after our tour, hubby and I really liked how friendly she was and felt like we could get great service if we booked with them.

After looking at other reception venues and meeting other directors, we didn't feel as welcomed and valued as Julie did for us. So, we ended up booking with Black Gold!

In the beginning, we booked with Julie but ended up getting Madelon as our wedding coordinator. A wedding coordinator fee is mandatory, $400, at the time we booked. But I think it's worth to have a coordinator on the day of the wedding! You won't feel as stressed.

Madelon did a great job on the day of our wedding. Julie and Madelon were pretty good with responding to our e-mails. Sometimes, it seemed like they didn't get our emails but they were probably bombarded with lots of brides e-mailing them it probably got lost in all of that! Also, the wedding coordinator does all the stuff related to Black Gold - tastings, day of wedding coordination, setting up candles/votives/pictures, trouble-shooting on the day of, and coordinating with your vendors. She doesn't do center pieces or hanging of non-Black Gold related decorations.

There were a few requests we wanted and some mix-ups but they were very nice to make sure we were happy and made up for it by giving us some free appetizers on the day of our wedding!

For the reception venue, you cannot hang anything on the walls with staples or tape since it is not allowed by the City of Yorba Linda, I think.

Food: It was delicious! We got salmon and the stuffed flank steak and our guests told me they enjoyed the food very much! It was also very filling!

Service: Great service. I think they try really hard to please the Bride and Groom. :)

A few things to improve on:
-I think probably a little bit more organization for the day of wedding rehearsal and wedding. I had given the information to Madelon when we met before the rehearsal but I think she confused me with another bride. And the day of the wedding, the schedule seemed different from what we gave the DJ so he was a little confused! But, it still worked out in the end.
-Cake: I wasn't a fan of the cake too much. It comes with the package but it was just ok.
-Complimentary golf passes are included in your wedding packages. Hubby wanted to play on a weekend, but we found out it is only valid Monday-Thursday. So, complimentary passes are not valid for weekends. You might be able to get a "discount" for the weekend. Hubby was kinda disappointed because he really wanted to play on the weekend with our passes!

Overall, I think Black Gold is a beautiful venue. Great food. Good service. I would definitely recommend them! I'm so glad we booked them before their prices went up!!

Short review for the golf: Hubby says it is one of the hardest courses he has played!

Black Gold was soooooo amazing!! Beautiful venue to get married at. All my guests are still raving about how good the food was. Such an awesome job. They were so nice and helpful with everything. Would recommend them to anyone looking to get married in that setting. So beautiful!

Overall, Black Gold is just wonderful!! Julie was great in getting us started, and Madelon definitely helped us through the process. The ground is kept beautiful - so no complaints there! It may be a bit too small for a wedding over 175, but other than that, it's highly recommended. My husband and I are very happy that we went with Black Gold. =)

I can not say enough about the staff at Black Gold. Julie and Madelon were AMAZING to work with; they were great through the entire process, as were the serving staff and bartenders. If I were to do it all over again, I wouldn't change my reception venue. We selected BG for our reception venue and could not have been more happier with how everything turned out from beginning to end. It was the BEST place for our special day.

I can only echo all the positive things said below about Julie and Black Gold Golf Club. Julie is downright AMAZING and AWESOME with her customer service and YES - SHE DOES CARE. She was very friendly, easy to get a hold of, very responsive, and extremely professional at all times.

With many venues referrals from our friends, we were warned that once we signed the paperwork, all negotiations are out the door. You're on the ship, and the ship has left the dock was what we were warned. I will say that, undeniably, Julie is an exception to that rule. She worked with us as our situation changed and we took on stress.

My wife and I also had an Eastern Indian wedding (like the review below) and we used the ceremony site that's part of Black Gold. It was extremely perfect. We were actually on the site during one wedding and got to see Julie in action - she runs a very tight ship with her staff. Additionally, the bartender (unfortunately, I forgot his name, I believe Eric or Ryan or something..sorry!), was great at serving my friends, cutting off the one or two EXTREMELY drunk people (they started drinking at 10am) in a very polite fashion that didn't upset anyone. Pure skills!

Back to Julie - if your needs work with what Black Gold has to offer (reception room for 220 or less), then I cannot recommend them ENOUGH. Stop looking, call Julie, and book it! :-)

Our outside caterer had zero problems dealing with staff as well. We needed an Indian caterer so Black Gold's in-house service did not work for us. However, I have sampled Black Gold's food and it's definitely worth while as well. Very good if you want non-Indian food.

I just had my East Indian wedding at Black Gold Golf Club and the event was absolutely beautiful and a success in nearly every way. You can get everything at this place: beautiful scenery around you, a outdoor wedding site that is out of this world, flexibility to have your dream wedding, and an amazing staff and wedding coordinator who really CARE about you and your guests. The guests continue to rave about our wedding and I encourage all brides having a wedding in Southern California to make an appointment and meet Julie ASAP!! Best of luck :)

What can I say, Julie is AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! Whatever we wanted, Julie delivered. We looked at almost every golf course in southern California and Black Gold has the BEST ceremony site, hands down. To top that off, they have an amazingly friendly staff, including bartenders, and a top notch facility. With a view of the 18th hole on a summer afternoon as the sun sets, we couldn't ask for anything more. If Black Gold is one of your options, do NOT hesitate!

Finding the perfect wedding reception venue is tough and my fiance' and I looked at or inquired about 15 locations. When we went to Black Gold Golf Club and met with Julie Spencer we knew right then and there that this was the place for us!!! She was absolutely amazing, knowledgeable, professional, caring and genuine about our vision. She showed us around and walked us through how the event would go. The banquet hall had a beautiful view of the waterfall, greens, the hillside, and overlooked the city. We saw it at sunset and it was breathtaking. She offered very helpful advise and met all our needs for a perfect day.

We met with Julie several times throughout the planning process and she was ALWAYS friendly, happy, and sincere about our special day. She returned emails and phone calls immediately with answers to our questions. Shortly before our wedding date, we received an email from Rhonda (the new wedding coordinator) and we met with both her and Julie to go over our final appointment information. Ronda was very friendly and worked side by side with Julie on our wedding reception plans. We were happy to have 2 people running our special day and it turned out wonderfully!

Couples get overwhelmed planning a wedding.... Julie made us feel at ease by her confidence, and experience. She went above and beyond to make this day a success.

We received so many compliments about our reception location and how smooth and how the day/evening flowed. The food was great, the decor and set up of the dining room, lobby, and outdoor cocktail area were colorful and the staff was friendly and attentive to the wedding party and guests. We could not have picked a better venue and with Julie as our coordinator, we indeed did have the perfect wedding reception.

Thank you to Julie and Ronda,
Cat & Rudy

My husband and I absolutely loved Black Gold. From the Coordinator to the staff, everything was impecable. I knew I was in great hands with Julie, our Coordinator. She reassured us everything would be taken care of, she was friendly, outgoing, considerate, and anything you could dream of in a coordinator. She delivered the day of and everything went so smooth. She took a lot of stress off of my plate throughout the entire process. They allowed us to stay past 11pm to practice our first dance. We are always treated like family when we go there for brunch or golf. The food was amazing. All of our guests said it was delicious and the best wedding food they ever had. The only thing I was not crazy about was the small bridal room. But for me the other things out weighed the bridal room. When I look back at my wedding I don't really care about the bridal room. Anyway, I highly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed!!

I just had my wedding at Black Gold on April 10th, 2010. Julie and Black Gold were by far one of my favorite vendors to work with. She was accomodating to the point where my husband and I were borderline shocked. Julie took care of everything... and thought of everything. The wedding day went by without a single issue. (which is pretty unheard of). The employees at Black Gold always made sure we always had a drink in hand, we were eating, and we were comfortable. I have to say that I had an absolute BLAST at my wedding. The food was delicious. We had so many compliments about the food that was served during cocktail hour and at the reception. I am so happy to have picked Black Gold. It was beautiful.

Julie, the wedding coordinator, and her assistant, Natalie were so great to work with. They took care of everything and I didn't have to worry about a thing. They kept track of my drinks, my food, dessert - EVERYTHING! The staff was very pleasant to us and I could tell that the guests had a great time. The food was good, the place clean and sparkly. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect reception venue for the fun wedding that we planned.

The whole planning process was wonderful. I booked the venue a year ago and Julie has been great to work with. She's fast on answering my questions and did not get annoyed one bit.

Overall, reasonable prices, great service, and a wonderful experience!!!

p.s. my now-husband played golf here before our wedding and loooved the course. I don't know much about golf, but I could tell that the golf course was beautiful. :)

I was soo excited to have my wedding at Black Gold, and it lived up to all my expectations! My girlfriend got married at Black Gold a few years ago and I knew that BG was the place I wanted to get married when that time came. The staff, food and setting was perfect. You are overlooking Orange County and the sunsets are breathtaking. Plus, having an on-site coordinator (Julie) makes the biggest difference in the world. It was honestly my dream wedding...

Black Gold Golf was simply a beautiful place to get married in. The scenery was breathtaking & provided us with a great backdrop for our pictures. Our guest were amazed at our venue. Julie was great. She was hard to get a hold of by phone, but via email, she was quick & answered all my questions. She was extremely flexible to our needs. Our catering was also provided by Black Gold & the food was delicious! Too bad I didn't get to eat much of it. Beautiful venue, great food!

You cannot go wrong with booking Black Gold Golf for your wedding. I had my reception there recently and it was wonderful! Julie (the wedding coordinator at BG) is very sweet and helpful. She makes planning your wedding there easy and stress-free. Pay a little more for her wedding coordinator service. It's worth it because she handles everything for you and sets up before your guests arrive. She is also very responsive to emails and questions, which is important. We were also very impressed with the quality of the food at the reception. We received many compliments on the food (some guests said it was the best food they have had at a wedding), and it was also a nice gesture for the Chef Larry to come out and check in with us and personally greet our guests. The chocolate fountain was a big hit with our guests (especially the kids). The venue is beautiful and very well kept. The waterfalls outside of the banquet room is perfect for photos. I would highly recommend BG! Everything here is first-class!

My husband and I just had our wedding at Black Gold on 9/26/08 and it was wonderful! We couldn't be happier with how our wedding turned out at Black Gold. My husband and I had originally booked our wedding in Jan. '08 and first met with Julie, the wedding coordinator. If my husband or I had any misc. questions, we would call Julie and she was very helpful and receptive.

When we had our rehearsal on 9/24/08, we were informed a week prior that we'd have help from an additional coordinator, Megan. Megan was in charge of our rehearsal and did an excellent job.

When I arrived at Black Gold on my wedding day, Megan met me and was in charge of fixing my dress and working with the photographer on getting me to various locations for pictures. We had a bridal suite set up that was filled with drinks for my bridesmaids and me. Megan was very accommodating in any request my bridesmaids, the parents, or I had. Julie worked with my husband on any requests he or his groomsman had.

The ceremony went without a hitch and the reception was awesome! All of our decor requests were met and our coordinators Julie and Megan worked with our DJ, florist, and baker so we did not have to go through any coordinating the day of our wedding. The chef met us during cocktail hour to personally meet with us to discuss the appetizers our guests and our bridal party were enjoying. While we had chosen a specific appetizer for the cocktail hour, the chef decided to try out a new recipe on us (which we didn't know until we met with the chef). We were happy that he did- his appetizers were amazing! The coordinators Megan & Julie were constantly checking up on us and refilling our drinks. The chef personally met with most of our guests (we are not sure if he had met with everyone) to check up on how the food was tasting.

The food- the food was AMAZING! I have never received so many compliments on how great the food was. We served 3 options: filet mignon with red wine sauce and french fried onions, grilled Chilean sea bass with cilantro butter sauce, and vegetable wellington. Our side dishes were twice baked potato and green beans & carrots. We had a spinach salad with balsamic as our salad. We also had a chocolate fountain and coffee bar. The chef was also very nice to send us off with two dinners in case we didn't have time to eat during the reception.

I would HIGHLY recommend Black Gold to everyone who is planning a wedding. Not only are the views spectacular (we got married during sunset), the staff was outstanding, and the food was to die for.

Black Gold exceeded all of our expectations!

Our wedding went off without a hitch. The event coordinator took care of everything and did a great job of working with the other vendors.

I had a coordinator, Julie Spencer, she was GREAT. She was worth every penny. She made sure I had the best wedding possible. Very easy to work with and she was always trying her best and service with a smile. There was nothing I asked for that did not happen or at least she tried. Very well coordinated and had a schedule that she follwed. I would recommend her to anyone. the venue was very well decorated and she made sure fo that. The food was great. My fiance and I met with the cheff a couple of months prior to taste all of the food and make our selections.

Just booked this location for my January wedding! The grounds are beautiful, the staff is very friendly, and I hear the food is delicious.

Will update my review as we get close to the date!

Black Gold Golf Club is a beautiful place to have your wedding at. The new Wedding Coordinator is very friendly and really took the time to get to know my husband and I. The staff was very kind, and the event went off without a hitch! t's a new facility with all new decor. Check this place out!

Simply Amazing! Sarrah, the venues wedding coordinator, was our most valuable asset in our planning and day of. Her guidance and flexibility made the process smooth and seamless. Costs were beyond reasonable for the quality and quantity of items. We chose to have a buffet (150 people) and Sarrah helped us pick a variety of food representing both cultures. Cake was included and outsourced to a vendor in Orange.

We highly recommend this venue. Not only is it amazing for the reasons stated above, it is in a premier location. It is tucked away from major streets and provides an added level of privacy. A few months prior to our ceremony, their new outdoor wedding setting was opened and it is simply beautiful! The banquet hall attaches to the lounge-like bar area which housed the chocolate fountain (which came with our package).

Cannot sing Black Gold's praises enough! Truly made our experenience perfect from day 1.

We only had our reception here. We could not have been happier. The food was amazing, the staff was fantastic and riendly. The room looked great. We definitely feel like we got what we paid for. Would recommend Black Gold to anybody.

we had to deal with a girl named Sarah, which I see is not there anymore, and thank goodness because she was very unprofessional and horrible at returning calls.
But the venue is BEAUTIFUL and the food and decorations were wonderful..the scenery was to die for...we had a beautiful sunset behind us in all our pictures...

Beautiful ceremony & reception site. Great food and Julie the banquet manager is a pleasure to work with. She is in control from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Black Gold really knows how to put on a wedding!! The facilities are top notch and the wedding venue is absolutely gorgeous! It's simply a beautiful place to get married or renew your vows and the world class service makes it all the better. Julie and her team are professional, responsive and completely on top of it. Their attention to detail leaves nothing to chance, and they'll help you plan out the entire event from soup to nuts. I highly recommend Black Gold to anyone looking for a professional, classy and impressive wedding venue!

Julie at Black Gold Golf Club is one of the best coordinators I have met in a while. She was very calming for the bride and was well organized and able to deal with the client's delays in a professional manner. Not only is Julie a helpful individual, but she is super friendly as well making her very easy to work with.

For any Bride and Groom reading this endorsement: I am Rev. Michael and I Officiate at all locations in Orange County. And one of my favorite locations to Officiate at is at the Black Gold Golf Club. Their staff are, without a doubt, the best, the most flexible, the most organized and the nicest coordinators to work with. I have received many rave reviews from couples not only regarding the way they handle the Ceremony but also the reception. I would be remiss in not telling you to at least call Black Gold Golf Club and investigate their venue. If you wish to know more, feel free to contact me at ReverendMichael@ReverendMichael.com http://www.ReverendMichael.com Rev. Michael

One of our favorite venues to work at. Julie and her team do an amazing job at creating unique wedding experience for all of their couples. The ceremony site is gorgeous and the food is always amazing. Always a pleasure to work at this venue.

Not only is Black Gold a gorgeous venue, but also their staff is absolutely amazing and a pleasure to deal with. I've shot there multiple times and it was always an amazing experience.

Working with Black Gold is the smoothest and the most pleasant. They are extremely professional and friendly. They have great services that will work with anyone's budget. Julie made sure the brides night ran smoothly.
Thank You so much for such a great Bride & Groom Last week!

My wife and I got married at Black Gold Golf Course over 2 years ago! No need to get married at one place and then have your guests drive to another for the reception. Black Gold is perfect for both. The ceremony site is great and frames up the entire bridal party nicely, especially if you have a large party...we had 18. It's a nice and level area which can accommodate your guest count needs. We had 175 people with plenty of room to spare.

We can't say enough good things about Julie Spencer. She is wonderful to work with, has years of experience, and can execute your dream wedding. The reception hall is beautiful with light colored walls accented by elegant dark wood. Everything is situated where it should be. This makes everything easy for your guests and keeps your Wedding Day running smooth. At the end of the evening you are left with a overwhelming feeling of accomplishment and happiness. If you haven't check out Black Gold Golf Course yet, you should definitely take the opportunity. You'll be happy you did.

This venue is beautiful and has a great view. You can get a lot of great pictures and video during sunset. It is also convenient that you can have your ceremony and reception in one place. The most amazing part is the service. My wife and I have known Julie Spencer for a couple years now and we know she goes out of her way to please the couple and guest. Choosing Black Gold as a wedding venue, or for any other event, is the right choice.
Sincerely,
Cheersvideo Productions

Black Gold Golf Club is a beautiful venue for weddings and events in the hills of Yorba Linda. Julie Spencer is wonderful to work with too!
