Headed to Anaheim in about a month and looking for some courses.

Black gold and Coyote Hills are two that I am looking at.

Any other suggestions near the anaheim convention ctr?

Anyone want to hack it up with a mid-handicapper (about a 12) June 8-12th?

Thanks

I live in the area and the two courses you selected are both nice. I would highly recommend black gold. I haven't played coyote hills yet but have heard it's a nice track.

What's your price range? There are allot of courses in the area with coyote and black being at the higher end.

I just moved about 1 mile from coyote hills so when you get closer to coming out I'd most likely be up to meet and play. I was laid off a couple of months back so I play 4-5 days a week anyways and I'm a hack playing to around a 22 hcp.

Thanks,

When I am at home (Raleigh, NC) I cringe when I fork out over $50, but when I am out of town I'll consider up to $100. If you know some gems that are in my "normal" price range, that would be sweet!!!

I'll send you a PM or email before I head out.

I highly recommend OAK CREEK in Irvine, 5-10 minutes to Anaheim as it is one of the best for the money, make a reservation from click4teetimes.com for significant savings! Enjoy

Black Gold, Coyote Hills and Oak Creek are all good choices. I'd also consider Starwberry Farms.

Other good choices in OC are Arroyo Trabuco and Aliso Viejo but they are a little further away. If you are looking to save a few bucks, the Los Lagos course at Costa Mesa is a good value.

Well I am headed back to raleigh tomorrow.

I made it to Coyote Hills, Black Gold, Oak Creek and Pelican Hills.

They were all really nice. I thought that Coyote hills was a better value than Black Gold, Oak Creek is a really nice course (very fair) and Pelican Hills is nice and it's fun to gawk at rich people.

Thanks again everyone. All of the rounds were last minute so sorry that I didn't contact anyone.

    • Day 86 (26 Jul 25) - Down at the beach place, had kept the clubs with me after playing yesterday.  Spent time this afternoon checking them over and brushing grooves on the wedges and irons.  Spent a few minutes working thru the swing process…working in slo mo through backswing and proper weight shift.
    • . I've been Playing Golf for: 10 years, 1 year consistently  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 My typical ball flight is: fade The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: inconsistent ball strike   I caught the bug about a year ago and have been playing roughly once a week. Have been getting better with my short game and putting but my ball striking from tee and fairway lets me down. Had my first lesson last month which identified an over the top swing compensated by an open club face. Have been trying everything to get on plane over the last month. Have found that using a bend and press into my left leg as the trigger for my downswing coupled with finding the turn and rotation in both my arms to release the club properly has helped my get nearer to the correct plane. Video below is where I am with it currently. Haven’t taken this new swing to the course yet! Any comments or suggestions are welcome  Videos:  I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year properly  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 av score  
    • That's always been the deal. You put in the work hyper focused on ONE or at most two things, so that you don't have to think about anything except a single feel or the target or something on the course.
    • Blind squirrel finds a nut and putted well. no, I decided to play a round being athletic rather than paralyzing myself with swing thoughts. I have no clue if I was doing what I worked on. It was the last day and I was tired of freezing at the top of the swing not know if one of four outcomes were going to happen. 
    • Day 299 - 2025-07-26 I spent 15 minutes practicing but it was almost pointless. It wasn't good practice. I was not really in it, but I put the time in. Oh, I did some chipping work before-hand, and that was good. I could have just left after that. 🙂
