Oaks/Canyon at Blacklake Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Blacklake Golf Resort boasts 27 holes of championship golf that are divided into three nines called the Oaks, Canyons, and Lakes. The nines can be played in three different 18-hole combinations. The Oaks/Canyons Course is the toughest of the three. The front nine features narrow fairways that wind through mature coastal oaks. If you're not careful, you may find yourself in the woods on this challenging target-style layout. The back nine doesn't get any easier with a layout that tumbles across rolling terrain. With the resort's location on the Nipomo Mesa along California's Central Coast, the elevated tee boxes on the Canyons nine allows for some stunning views. The location also invites refreshing sea breezes. In addition to the three golf courses, there is also a 275-yard driving range available with more than 30 grass and artificial teeing areas as well as three putting, chipping, and pitching greens.

Course Review
Decided to play this course after a long time usually play other courses in the area when I visit.
Bullet point review
* Starter not to friendly or welcoming
* Asked for a cup of ice in restaurant was refused when asked why was told management does not want to encourage out side beverage!
* Front nine ruined by heavy maintenance work vey loud leaf blowers
* Over all a very boring dated course layout not one hole stood out as a challenge.
* Very poor tee conditions, fairways not much better
* Very dirty golf carts and course restrooms, no water on the course ball washers were dry
Not often do I place a review however, I have noticed that courses in the middle of a nice community such as Blacklake, do not present a good product since they have a local captive client base. if you are visiting the arera or a local, Play Cypress Ridge or Monarch Dunes for a great experience!

Course condition
This has always been one of my favorite courses to play. Looks like someone has decided to keep it in decent condition. 😄
Thanks Colby and staff.!
Lacks basic course maintenance
I would give the course a better rating if they would just mow the grass! The fairways and tee boxes were shaggy, the rough and fringes were cut inconsistently. The greens were bumpy but mostly because nobody repairs their ball marks, not really the fault of the maintenance staff.
Pace of play was good for a weekend round .Fun to play but could easily be much nicer.
Great Value for a 18 public course
The greens were a bit bumpy and worn in spots, and the fairways were about what you’d expect from a public course. That said, our twosome finished in just over three hours, which made for a great pace of play. We scored a Hot Deal for $36, and at that price, any minor course-condition issues were easy to overlook. We played the Lake/Oak combination, and the Oak course definitely had the better greens.
Play at Blacklake multiple times a week. Usually never any problems. This week we had reservations and upon arrival there were no carts ready as we had one in our reservation. Told to come back in 15 mins. No problem. Couple behind us signed in a cart showed up at that time. So they got to play and we waited instead of being notified we should be next. We were outside of clubhouse having drinks and a few ppl got on before we did with carts. Once we went back in we got put on a “ next “ list. Just sucked being delayed 20 mins when tee times after us got on. Still fun and will be back. I would not of wrote this but I was asked to review my experience so here it is.
Course is in Better conditon!
Course is in better condition then it has been in a whiile.
Could easily improve
Greens were nice, remainder of course in need of basic maintenance (mowing, raking and rodent control.
Improved
Condition of course improved from my last time playing there, It’s still a little bare in spots & the bunkers need some love. Greens were nice.
The layout requires a little local knowledge on some holes to avoid trouble.
The fairway grass needed to be mowed
The place is okay , just needs a little more maintenance
beautiful day
Pace was a bit slow, greens were in fair condition. Tee boxes need work, you are rarely. hitting off a flat tee box.
