About

Holes 18
Type Public/Resort
Par 71
Length 6185 yards
Slope 122
Rating 70.3

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.

3 nine hole courses

I prefer the canyons course and the lakes course. The oaks course has a few holes where it's easy to lose your ball in the rough, Even with a good shot
