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.

Sorely disappointed in the course upkeep. Staff was friendly but forgot they had a tournament. We wound up getting yelled at by someone in the tournament for being in the mix.
Fun Course
Been playing here for about 30 years and it’s a fun little play for the price. Lakes corse is challenging with the enormous eucalyptus trees, Canyons course can score well with its openness and Oaks Course, keep it in play off the tee. For first time players I suggest the Oaks course for its scenery and then either Lakes or Canyons to follow.
Great deal
You can’t beat the value for an afternoon twilight tee time with cart. I prefer playing canyon & lakes over oaks as the conditions are better there. All in all, amazing value and decent course.

A great day!
The staff was a bit overwhelmed as a result of higher than expected attendance for a tournament earlier in the day so the carts were in high demand. After an easy check-in, we were given tokens for the driving range to accommodate us for the delay. We got on the course only 10 minutes late and the staff was very attentive.
We played the Oaks and then the Canyons and the conditions couldn't have been better. The weather was perfect and the scheduling pace felt like we were alone on the course, even as busy as they were. It was a great day!
Thank you for taking the time to review us, Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Lakes/Canyon at Blacklake Golf Course thanks you!

Good for the hot deal.
The previous reviews about the fairways are correct. The restrooms are even more municipal than the course itself. On the Oaks course some of the tee offs were very difficult. Trees blocked some wedge shots to the greens even in the center of the fairways. Neglected course OK for $40.

Great Course
First time using Golfnow, I played Blacklake Golf Course in Nipomo, CA. Great Course, great value, great weather. Other than a few boogies and a couple of double boogieis , it was a perfect day.

Needs TLC
I have been playing this course for over a decade. And while it has a great layout and 27 holes, the grounds definitely need some attention ASAP. The fairways are overgrown with weeds, and the greens need attention as well. It is sad to see so much potential that no one taking care of these simple matters that would make this course so much better, like it used to be.
