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.

Course
Went early in the morning. Everything was still wet from the fog but still had fun except for my wet shoes and 7 three putt bogeys.

We had a great time and finished 18 holes in less than four hours. Steve greeted us in the pro shop with a friendly smile beneath his mask and was very helpful in getting us started. He’s a nice guy and a good guy to start around with. The greens were in good shape and ran medium fast. Fairways were in the best condition I have seen them in several years.

Blacklake Golf Club
I have played many courses around the Central Coast but not Blacklake. GolfNow had a great deal so I went and played 18 holes. The Oak and Lake 9’s were challenging and fun in different ways from the back tees. A special shout out for the putting greens they were smooth, true, and quick. It is my understanding there has been recent additional investment put into the course and it is worth your time and by using GolfNow a great value.

Black lake experience
Beautiful day and the course was in good shape except for the water hazards having no water. The first 4 holes were a pleasure, pace of play was just right. We were in a 3 some. But the next 5 holes were a mess. Caught up to a 4 some 2 walking 2 riding. The 2 walking had no skill with golf and no thought of anyone else on the course. Especially for a Saturday. The finishing 9 were fine.

Blacklake Hidden Gem
Blacklake GC was a good experience. The course uses its natural topology to make sure you think about where you tee from and shot placement. Reading other reviews of this course made me skeptical before I ever played it. Besides a few sore spots in the rough, the fairways had good grass and greens that rolled well. Bunkers were in good shape with enough sand available to make a satisfactory sand splash. Practice area was small but served it’s purpose. Range needs new balls. Needs a Marshall on duty to sheriff pace of play. Very enjoyable experience.

Good value
Played the Oaks/Canyon courses. First time to play the Oaks in a year or so. It was in pretty good shape. Like most of Blacklake, if you keep your ball in the fairway is plays pretty nice. Same for the Canyon tract. I got a very reasonable rate with a cart before noon and played easily under 3 hours. Would definitely play it again any weekday morning.
