Lakes/Canyon at Blacklake Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
There are 27 holes of championship golf at Blacklake Golf Resort, allowing golfers to mix and match to suit their preference and skill level. The holes are divided into three nines: the Canyons, Oaks, and Lakes, that can be played in different 18-hole combinations. Located on the Nipomo Mesa along California's Central Coast, each nine takes its name from the rugged landscape. The Lakes/Canyon combination strikes a good balance between being challenging and player friendly. The front nine is more player friendly, starting off with a confidence-boosting par 3 and with fairways that are wide and forgiving. It's rather long, though, and therefore not to be underestimated. The back nine tumbles across undulating terrain, incorporating elevated tee boxes that overlook the lush fairways below. The various vistas and valleys invite refreshing sea breezes to keep you cool.

Mow the fairways please
I just can't get over the lack of maintenance at this course.
Last fall when they aerated the greens, I putted on greens with holes and not one spec of sand to fill them.
Now, the fairways are completely unmowed. Lost multiple balls in the over 3" deep clover, flowers and grass -- I was NOT in the rough - center fairway.
New experience
Nice course and interesting layout. The rough is that on deed. The trees and some narrow fairways make it interesting. Private setting.
Good Value Course
Have played here a few times, been able to experience all 27 holes. If you play in the afternoon (or on a hot deal), the value for this course is solid. Fairways aren't in the best shape, but certainly playable, especially if you are okay with moving your ball a little from where it landed. It's hard to beat $30 for 18 with a cart, and at that value, this is one of our go-to courses in the area.
Crowded course
Play was slow, mens club was on the course.
I went out by my self and had to wait on nearly every hole.
Why?
Why are the owners or management company trying to kill this golf course. It's better than not playing but not by much.
Fun round at Blacklake
First time playing at Blacklake in the 2 years I’ve lived in the area. I wasn’t expecting a lot because of bad reviews I’ve read on GolfNow and word of mouth regarding course conditions. Before booking today’s round I read more recent reviews that course conditions have improved. I couldn’t beat the price so I booked the round. I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed the round. I was advised to start on the Oaks course and finish on the Canyon course. Since I was playing as a single the pro shop staff said I could tee off early before a foursome that was ahead of me. The pace of play was excellent with no one in front of me in the front 9. I caught up to a foursome on the 11th hole and they very nicely told me I could play through. I would rate the condition of the tee boxes as average, the fairways as below average and the greens as average to slightly above average. The course layout was challenging and fun. It is an easy course to walk compared to others in the area. Overall I would recommend this course and will be back!
Blacklake Golf Course making a comeback? The
My son and I played Blacklake Golf Course yesterday for a grand total of $40. Wasn’t sure what to expect as last time we were there it was in pretty rough shape. We were pleasantly surprised with the condition of the course. I would highly recommend getting out there soon.

4/5
Not the best tee boxes, not the best fairways, greens were mostly good. But you get what you pay for , great value for the price.
Great deal
Blacklake was a fun course to play. I did not realize there are 27 holes. I played 18 and I'm looking forward to playing the the other 9 holes in the near future. Staff at the pro shop was friendly too!
Overall maintenance and course conditions have been declining over recent years.
Don’t bother
Unbelievably slow. 3 holes in 1 hour. Unless ur 90, or have never played before, don’t bother. Told office of situation, just said sorry.
