Lakes/Oaks at Blacklake Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Situated along California's Central Coast atop the Nipomo Mesa, Blacklake Golf Resort offers three different nines, each named after the different attributes of the beautiful landscape. The nines can be played in three different 18-hole combinations. Players of all skill levels will be able to find a golf course that suits them. The Lakes/Oaks Course begins with the most player friendly of the three nines. Though as the name implies, water does come into play but the fairways are wide and forgiving. The opening par-3 hole gives you a confident start but the length keeps it from being a pushover. The Oaks nine features narrower fairways that wind through groves of coastal oak trees. It is a more target-style layout where you may find yourself in the woods if you're not paying attention.

Nice course to play
Nice course layout with little danger of getting hit from parallel fairway. Other than the fairway grass being a little sparse, the course is in pretty good condition. They have three separate nine hole courses with provides variety. Overall, it's a nice course to include among your selection.
Poor fairways
Greens were aerated last week. Fairways were not in good shape with very many goffer mounds on every one. Layout was good though with plenty of room to drive the ball.
Overbooked
The last two times showing up for my tee time they have over booked their course. They had no carts due to tournaments being played. I wasn’t able to even get on the course for an hour after my tee time. Having a 3:15 tee time is already tough to get a full 18 hole in let alone starting at 4:15. I really like this course but they shouldn’t be selling tee times to the app unless they can manage the amount of people.
Great day of golf!
Greens are in excellent condition, the rains have significantly improved the entire course!
Range balls
Person at counter outstanding didn’t charge us for pull cart condition of range balls pathetic condition of golf course not great
Merced player
Playing this round just after high winds the night before so with all the trees on their course the leaves and debris from all sorts made fairways and greens very badly maintained and its houses lined every hole that makes all holes narrow and pace was terrible.
Will Definitely Return
It was an overall enjoyable round of golf. They have 27-holes at this facility. It was my first time playing this course and I gave it an overall 4-star score. I played the Canyon-Lakes nines, which the person behind the counter said were the two best nines. For a Saturday 11:30 tee time, pace of play was on point...4hrs, 5mins. Fairways were meh and greens were good. These two nines could play quite difficult if you're not hitting it straight. There are some narrow openings. My favorite hole was the second on the Canyon...a par 5 that is tight as a frogs butt. I had a southwest burger and fries at the turn and it was OUTSTANDING. Seriously, one of the best tasting burgers I've had in a long time. I'll be back!
Great golf course
Course conditions are good, long challenging fairways and difficult greens. All in all a beautiful environment to play. I highly recommend playing Black Lake Golf
Rain helps
After the rain, the course looked beautiful and green.
The fairways and greens were in great shape, the pace of play was quick, and the weather was perfect !!!
Oaks - Canyons
Course in pretty good shape. The par 3 (hole 8) on the Canyons is still having the tee box rebuilt but the rest of the greens were solid. The fairways looked good as the recent rain definitely helped with the usual bare spots found on this course. The Oaks layout is funky and narrow but course designer was limited by the real estate and terrain. Overall, good value for the money as with Golf Now deals can be found.
