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.

great course with blind greens

Little slow on play but still finished about 4 hours. Great view so no need to rush. Had a good game with my daughter then went back to the dunes to ride the quads. Quads, fishing, and golf good trip.

Good place to walk

The starters here have always had a difficult time managing the 3 nine hole courses. They are consistently allowing groups to jump in between groups transitioning to their second nine so you never know who will be in front of you when you get to your assigned place. It becomes a free-for-all when busy. Otherwise it is a nice course. The Lakes course has many parallel holes, the other two do not.

I've always loved this course.

Playing hear is always fun. You have three different 9 hole layouts to choose from with each 9 being different. Most recently I have seen a big improvement regarding the conditions of the course itself. The only thing a little disappointing to me is the snack shop which seems to be there only to be a nuisance to the bartenders.

Nice greens, nice layout, crowded

I played the Canyons and the Lakes courses. Really enjoyed the Canyons course. It is not as wide open and makes it seem less crowded though my group did wait at every tee box. Since we played mid-day Saturday on a gorgeous day its not surprising. Overall I really enjoyed the course. Some challenging shots and a well maintained course. Some of the tee boxes were pretty rough, and a few of the bunkers were rock hard. I look forward to playing the Oaks course next time I am in the area.

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.
