Black Gold Golf Club: A popular course with Orange County golfers, this Arthur Hills designed par-72 layout stretches up to 6,756 yards from the tips. Operated by the City of Yorba Linda, the layout incorporates several water features including a cascading waterfall off the 18th green, slight elevation changes, rolling hills and plenty of strategic bunkering.
Arranged in two nine-hole loops that head out-and-back to the east and west of the clubhouse, the course is bounded to the north by grass-covered hills, while the properties that flank the southern boundary are generally set well out of harm's way.
As the course weaves its way along and through the nicely undulating terrain, you can enjoy wonderful vistas overlooking Orange and Los Angeles Counties, including portions of the Newport Beach Coast, and Catalina Island.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Golf carts compulsory.
Black Golf is operated as a public golf facility by Kemper Sports. Headquartered in Northbrook, Illinois, Kemper Sports has a broad portfolio of approximately 75 courses under management, spanning the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Latin America.
Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.
Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
