About

Holes 18
Type Public/Resort
Par 72
Length 6401 yards
Slope 125
Rating 71.2

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.

3 nine hole courses

I prefer the canyons course and the lakes course. The oaks course has a few holes where it's easy to lose your ball in the rough, Even with a good shot
