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.

NIce for the price.

Not sure I would rate the course so well if I had to pay full price. However, at the Golf Now cost, it was a real bargain. Removing fallen tree debris should be more of a priority. Hard to play the ball down when loose impediments are so numerous.

Great Golf Experience

The course was in great condition, weather was awesome, food and drinks readily available, pace of play was not too brisk or slow. We had a great day and it was the best dollar value on the Central Coast and the conditions were beyond my expectations. I hadn't been in five years or so and had been playing a lot of Cypress Ridge and Rancho Maria, but this is back on my radar in a big way. Go, you won't be disappointed.
