Onyx Golf - Where Family Values Meet Cutting-Edge Leisure

 

 

In the heart of Lake Forest, lies Onyx Golf – a sanctuary for golf enthusiasts and a testament to the enduring bonds of family and innovation. Founded by Jonathan and his wife, this family-owned establishment marries a deep-seated passion for the game with a commitment to creating memorable experiences.

Jonathan's journey to Onyx Golf is as much a tale of familial love as it is one of entrepreneurial spirit. Raised by a single mother, Jonathan found himself navigating uncharted territory when it came to providing his son with a guiding father figure. It was during a movie night with his son that Jonathan's path took an unexpected turn. Inspired by the film "The Short Game," his son expressed a desire to pursue golf, setting the stage for a remarkable journey ahead.

As his son's talent blossomed, Jonathan became acutely aware of the challenges posed by rainy weather and the lack of adequate practice facilities. These challenges struck a chord deep within him, prompting him to take action. Motivated by his son's passion, Jonathan embarked on a mission to create a sanctuary for golfers of all ages and abilities.

The name "Onyx" holds profound significance for Jonathan and his family. As a stone of protection and strength, it embodies the core values upon which Onyx Golf was built – “play strong, believe, and achieve.” It's a tribute not only to his son's journey in the world of golf but also to the guiding presence of his late stepfather.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jonathan's stepfather, his sole father figure in adulthood, played a pivotal role in shaping his entrepreneurial spirit. Together, they worked in the sheet metal industry, providing metal wire hangers for dry cleaning stores all along the West Coast. To honor his stepfather's memory and the invaluable lessons he imparted, Jonathan used sheet metal for the baseboards of the entire facility, serving as a poignant reminder of his enduring influence. These sheet metal baseboards not only symbolize the strength and resilience instilled by his stepfather but also serve as the foundation and a protective layer of Onyx Golf.

Onyx Golf boasts a sprawling 10,000 square-foot space adorned with the #1 golf track simulator: Trackman Simulator. Here, golf enthusiasts appreciate the precision and accuracy of cutting-edge technology, exclusively enhanced by the golf club fitting services offered by Titleist Fitting Company, available only at Onyx Golf in Orange County. The showroom green speed, featuring WellPutt mats designed to mimic the outdoors, ensures that every putt feels authentic and true.

Beyond the greens, Onyx Golf offers a welcoming café and lounge where patrons can indulge in specialty coffee and soon, beer and wine from local OC breweries. Jonathan's dedication to quality is evident in the selection of brands featured at the café – a reflection of his loyalty to those he believes in.

Jonathan's vision for Onyx Golf transcends the boundaries of traditional golfing facilities. As he aptly puts it, "You don't have to play golf to come here." Indeed, Onyx Golf is more than just a destination for golf enthusiasts; it's a hub of innovation and community. The facility features a soundproof Framery Acoustics office pod, providing a quiet oasis for meetings and discussions. Additionally, private rooms at Onyx Golf offer the unique opportunity to indulge in karaoke at no extra cost, adding a touch of entertainment to the experience.

 

 

 

 

In a world where connections matter more than ever, Onyx Golf fosters a sense of belonging and camaraderie. It's not just a place to play golf – it's a community hub where dreams take flight and relationships flourish.
