Black Diamond Ranch was founded in 1987 and the club is the center piece of a 1,320-acre guard gated community. Despite legends to the contrary, the club’s name came from a premium grade of grapefruit. The club has forty-nine holes of world class golf designed by famed golf course architect Tom Fazio, who claims the par 72 Quarry Course is his finest work.
Tom Fazio is a master when it comes to designing unique and dramatic golf environments that are as challenging as they are beautiful. A true artist, he was blessed with a wonderful canvas at Black Diamond on which to paint a grand masterpiece. And that he has done, creating a magnificent complex of enticing golf, including the 18-hole Quarry and Ranch Courses and a 9-hole layout named the Highlands Course that’s as worthy of accolades as the first two courses.
The club also has a four-hole short course called Diamond Dunes. These holes, when coupled with the club’s impressive practice facility complete with short game area and three sets of range tees, make Black Diamond an extraordinary golf experience in every way.
The 7,159-yard Quarry Course has thirteen outstanding golf holes and five incredible ones. Holes 13 through 17 play across and around the rims of two canyons up to 80-feet deep and may well be the most spectacular holes of golf this side of Pebble Beach. Included in this five-hole odyssey are two dramatic drop-shot par 3s, two awesome par 4’s and one great risk-reward par 5 which yields eagles and birdies, as well as double and triple bogeys.
With significant changes of elevation, the Quarry Course at Black Diamond Ranch boasts the most spectacular five consecutive holes in golf, per renowned golf writer Dan Jenkins. The 15th hole is believed by many to be one of the most photographed holes in golf and on a cool morning, the 368-yard par 4 is truly a slice of heaven.
