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.

Good layout, maintenance not up to par
Played Lakes/Canyon. Layout was good and makes sure you have to think how to play the hole. Tee boxes are not even and not taken care of. Same goes with fairways. Enjoyable course but the maintenance makes it less appealing to come back.

Eucalyptus Bark on the fairways
I used to live on the Central Coast and played Black Lake fairly often. It seems like the course conditions have gone downhill since 2019. The bunkers are mostly dirt instead of sand and the eucalyptus bark made it tricky to find the ball on the Canyon Course. It seems like there could be some kind of equipment that could clean up the mess from the eucalyptus trees on a couple of holes. I played Oaks/Canyon.
Thank you for your review. We will pass along your positive experience and feedback to our team at Lakes/Canyon at Blacklake Golf Course. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
I Consider Black Lake my home course
Usually play the twilight with my wife and granddaughter do to the cheaper rate, too expensive to play on the weekends. I prefer to play the lakes and canyons but always get placed on the oaks. The staff is always friendly contributing to an overall good experience.

Very nice layout but needs some serious TLC
The course well laid out. Fairways are not maintained, weeds everywhere. Friendly staff but driving range and the course are all falling apart. Sad to see such a nice course in this condition.

Challeging but fair
This course is fun because it consists of 27 holes, allowing for different rounds of 18 to be played each time. The toughest part of the course is teeing off; many holes have tight tee shots through tees. The greens play true and fair and are well kept. There is some sand and water, but you won’t find yourself there often. Overall, this course is enjoyable and reasonably priced.
