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.

Fun round at Blacklake
First time playing at Blacklake in the 2 years I’ve lived in the area. I wasn’t expecting a lot because of bad reviews I’ve read on GolfNow and word of mouth regarding course conditions. Before booking today’s round I read more recent reviews that course conditions have improved. I couldn’t beat the price so I booked the round. I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed the round. I was advised to start on the Oaks course and finish on the Canyon course. Since I was playing as a single the pro shop staff said I could tee off early before a foursome that was ahead of me. The pace of play was excellent with no one in front of me in the front 9. I caught up to a foursome on the 11th hole and they very nicely told me I could play through. I would rate the condition of the tee boxes as average, the fairways as below average and the greens as average to slightly above average. The course layout was challenging and fun. It is an easy course to walk compared to others in the area. Overall I would recommend this course and will be back!
Blacklake Golf Course making a comeback? The
My son and I played Blacklake Golf Course yesterday for a grand total of $40. Wasn’t sure what to expect as last time we were there it was in pretty rough shape. We were pleasantly surprised with the condition of the course. I would highly recommend getting out there soon.

4/5
Not the best tee boxes, not the best fairways, greens were mostly good. But you get what you pay for , great value for the price.
Great deal
Blacklake was a fun course to play. I did not realize there are 27 holes. I played 18 and I'm looking forward to playing the the other 9 holes in the near future. Staff at the pro shop was friendly too!
Overall maintenance and course conditions have been declining over recent years.
Don’t bother
Unbelievably slow. 3 holes in 1 hour. Unless ur 90, or have never played before, don’t bother. Told office of situation, just said sorry.
Course in best condition in years
They have finally started maintaining the course the way they needed to for years.
Like playing in a pasture
Very poor fairway and greens. Deep weeds throughout all fairways, and weeds on greens. Like playing in a pasture.
Nice Day
I like this course for a player with my handicap - mid to high. I've played here a couple of times. There are 3 different 9 hole combinations that can be played to add a little variety, and each has its own personality.
Out of the tee box- on some fairways you could land a jet, while others require more precision, and are far less forgiving. The greens overall were in decent shape, and like the fairways, the green designs were a range from "fun" to "challenging".
The conditions the day we played were warm, sunny and a little windy (abt.15 knots). There are the typical California "dry areas" and "local fauna" (gophers) -- but no more than anyplace else!
Having said that, we had a good time, good rounds -- playing 18 holes, unrushed, in less than 4 1/2 hours! That's pretty unheard of in California on a Saturday!
Good Value
The course is in fair shape, the greens were better a couple of weeks ago. It is still a good value at $35 with a cart. The pace of play was perfect; we had nobody in front of us and were able to finish quickly.
Course need water!!
Course is dried out in most of the fairways, difficult to find grass even in the middle of the fairways.
