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.

Course could be fun again.
Played this course off and on for the last 25-30 years and was always satisfied with the condition. But nowadays it needs some serious watering on the fairways. Tee boxes are too lumpy and and uneven. Hard to get a good, comfortable stance.
Greens are good. Lots of gopher holes and mounds on or off the fairways. A little more maintenance and it could be popular again.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for any negative experiences you may have had recently with the condition of the fairways and tee boxes. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration to improve our course's maintenance.

Beautiful September day
Weather was great. Played at a good pace. Shot around par. Wife made three pars. The experience couldn't have been better.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review of your recent experience at our golf course. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed the great weather, played at a good pace, and had a wonderful time with your wife.
Grass??? Distance markers???
Whoever is your superintendent, should be fired. Worst grass I’ve ever seen. Eucalyptus leaves all over the fairway… if you could call it fairway. More like 4 inch rough throughout the whole course. How about some markers for distance?? Simple stakes would suffice….Sprinkler distance numbers… something. All in all, poor course maintanance and that’s what we pay for!!!!!
We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced due to the condition of the grass and lack of markers on our golf course. We appreciate your feedback and will address these issues to improve our course maintenance for future visits. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Nice layout
Course had wonderful variety. Played Canyons and Oaks. Gabby at the restaurant was friendly and made us feel welcomed.
Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the variety of our course and had a positive experience with Gabby at our restaurant. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again soon.
Better play with someone who knows the course.
If you play the Oaks 9 save your dolf balls and just skip 7, 8 and 9 and give yourself 3 triple bogies and go to the next course!

Waste of time and money
Other than the exercise, useless. The course needs water. Almost like biting off dirt. Not even worth the $45 for a round. Go elsewhere.

Needs water.
Dry, dead fairways. Decent greens. Why don’t they sport for new range balls? No dimples left on the ones they have.

The course was fun to play however, the fairway and greens were in need of TLC
I played nine holes at the canyon course. Some of the greens had with appeared seems and in fair condition at best. Most of the fairways were unkept, having brown dead uneven grass with lots of gopher mounds. Even though the grass, both greens and fairways, was not in pristine condition it was still a fun course to play! There were plenty of beautiful, rustic views, and the weather was spectacular.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your experience playing at our golf course. We apologize if the condition of some of the greens and fairways did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you still had a fun time playing and enjoyed the beautiful views and great weather.
The fairways are turning brown. Seems they need fertilizer and water.
Thank you for bringing to our attention the condition of the fairways. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your feedback.
Fun time!
The course was very fun and challenging, the canyons are one of my favorite 9s. The greens were receptive and well kept. Fairways were hit or miss but i’d say overall decent.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your kind words about our golf course. We apologize if the fairways were not in perfect condition during your visit, but we appreciate your overall positive feedback.
