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.

Not worth the price
Like an average muni with resort green fees. The practice facility is very poor. The condition of the course was very average. I would not pay more than $45 for a round on this course and they’re weekend green fees are $75+. Just not worth the money. If you are in the area visiting like I was to play a round of golf by the coast don’t waste your time here. Just pony up and play monarch dunes or cypress ridge. I will not be playing here again. Wish I would have known this before booking my tee time at the central coast.

Needs lots of work
Fairway grass is thin to none. Greens look like they’re maintained only weekly. Slow pace of play. Had other golfers pick up my ball on two different holes - scoundrels. The homes and vegetation around the course are lovely. Major issue with gophers on the Oaks.
