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.

Poor
The course definitely has had water issues for some time. Even a well placed drive has a poor lie in the middle of the fairway. The layout of the Oaks is an attempt to use the natural terrain and trees as a challenge but the course conditions just make it unfair.
Not bad
Older course, adequately maintained. Pace of play was super fast even on a Saturday. Staff super friendly but range facility is not good. Old worn out mats, tiny putting green. Not a bad course but overpriced for non-residents. Should be about $45.
Poorly maintained course
Tee boxes in bad shape and un-even. Greens poorly manicured and quite a few weeds. Second cut around green hardly evident if at all . Fairway okay but hard to distinguish fairway from rough. For what they ask per round I expect better. Other area courses in better shape for less.
Poor conditions to say the least
After all the rain we got here in California I figured I'd trya course on the coast I've never played, well I wish I didn't.. the tee box's were unlevel the greens were either super long or dryed out so who knows what speed to you need. I played well but was expecting a way nicer course then I got. I wouldn't play here again with monarch dunes so close
Surprised about the conditions.
I was expecting the fairways and tees to be much better with how much rain we’ve had. Dairy creek is immaculate right now.
Greens rolled pretty true though and quick.
Great course
My wife and I played 18 on the Lakes 9 and the Canyons 9. The Lakes was the better of the two. There is a 3rd 9 also. The layout was interesting and fun. All of the greens were excellent.
Very nice in ProShop, but course condition pretty bad
From the tips to the ladies tees, we only had a combined total of about 3 flat tee boxes. Fairways were fair, greens were okay but realy slow. PrShop staff was very nice. This is our 2nd time playing this course on vacation. We won't do a third, unfortunaltely. The course design is good, just in bad condition.
Blacklake
Course was in excellent condition and the staff very friendly and helpful.
Blacklake
You have 3 nine hole courses to select from. The Oaks is the most challenge.
Thanks for your review! We hope all of our courses prove to be enjoyable as well as challenging. Hope to see you again soon!
Greens and tees OK, fairways suffer from the California Central Coast draught conditions
Greens are slow but consistent and run true. Greens are in decent condition. Tees are good. Fairways are suffering due to the California Central Coast draught conditions. It is highly likely to get an unfair lie in the middle of the fairway down in a hole. In competitive conditions this could be devastating. Unless you get a special price, which are available, the course is over priced for it's conditions. The course layout is unique and challenging and tests all areas of your game.
Thanks for taking the time to review us, Puddinpal! We understand your concerns about the fairways, and we wish the drought conditions weren’t affecting us so harshly. We appreciate your patience with us as we try to fight this issue. It’s great to hear that you found our course to be both challenging and memorable – that’s just the kind of effect we’re trying to achieve. Thanks again for your review, and we hope to see you again soon!

Great accommodating staff
Staff always very helpful. Three different 9-hole courses keeps the flow going. Golf Now deal included a hot dog and drink with the purchase!
Can't beat that.
Thanks a lot for reviewing us! We strive to provide great customer service to our guests, and we're glad it shows. Don't forget that you can also find tee times straight through our website! Hope to see you back on the course soon!
Always fun to play...
We always enjoy playing at Blacklake. Friendly staff. Nice greens. Good pace.
Great deal
The course was great, not busy and the price was a steal.
exceptional value
This is an older course and needs work, but of good value for the cost.
Solid Course
Blacklake is great in that it has three different 9 hole course so you get a different 18 almost every time. The course isn't the fanciest but is definitely a good value if you can get a deal. Much more affordable that the surrounding courses.
