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.

Good value and condition
Many courses in the area have sustained weather damage. Blacklake's damage was minimal. Being a senior I would have preferred for the Red tees to be a neutral color for both seniors and women. The whites are too long and the golds are not really tees on many holes. The electric carts are great, and the staff friendly
great day playing at Black Lake
The coarse is in good shape. The fairways need little TLC, but, all in all I had a great time. The staff are always friendly

Ok experience
The course needs to be maintained much better for the price point in my opinion. It puts itself as a resort due to cost, but the maintenance needs improvement, most likely management of the course if the culprit. Drove in surrounded by beautiful homes- well kept streets, the course played like a muni.
Greens are in good condition.. fairways and tee boxes need help
Tee box
Teeing off on uneven surfaces is the trademark for this course. I understand the owner, Mr Rossi likes to use this course as on of his write offs for his business
Not worth it
The lakes course was in ok shape.
At least it had some green stuff to place your ball on. I would not dare to call it grass. Lots of gopher mounds and bear spots on the fairways. We played 2 club free drop in the fair way just to have something to hit off of. Greens and chipping in fair shape.
The canyon course was the same as above only twice as bad. Plus there was debris from the trees all over the course. A total lack of maintenance. Don't waste your time or money here. Go to Morro Bay golf course.

Worst course in 2023
The marmots have taken over. Fairways very poor. Tee boxes were horrible.
This by far has been the worst course I've played in 2023.
Great course layout
But a great layout is swiftly followed by bad bounces and worse lies greens were slow and bumpy but I am spoiled when it comes to putting surfaces overall the course is for sure recommended because you get a great round for a decent price which is harder to find on the Central Coast
Good
Canyon greens were decent but the oaks greens were a little rough. A couple t boxes needed some work. Had a good time. Ill be back.
