Lakes/Oaks at Blacklake Golf Course
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.

Men's bathroom near the cart return REALLY needed servicing. Golf was fine.
GREAT TIME
The course was a lot of fun to play. It was challenging but not so difficult that we couldn't enjoy it. The greens were particularly challenging and could have been in better shape.
Great value
Don't tell anyone how nice we were treated by the head pro and staff. Loved our day.
excellent, had aa great round of golf and day out with friends
Excellent, Outstanding day with out of town guests. We all felt we would like to play there again. Thank you so much for a great deal.
Not bad on a hot deal
Conditions vary. The course is not always well maintained but pace of play is good and well worth the money on a hot deal.
Great courses
The course was in greet shape, and the service is even better, From the guys in the pro shop to the Marshall's and the bar, the service was super friendly
me and my son get to golf
It is a very good course I would recommend it to all golfers young and old it like playing three golf course at one time its great
Ok for the cost
This course has 3 nines. We booked the two that we like (Canyon and Oaks) When we checked in, we were told that we had to play the Lakes course. I would have played some where else if I knew that. This is the second and last time that has happened.
The greens sux
Won't play again! Many very nice courses close by.
Three courses to choose from.
Given the shortage of water the course was in good condition. This facility has three 9 hole courses, the "Oaks" greens were in the worst shape. But playable. I will play this course again.
golf now at Blacklake
Course in pretty good conditions. Greens were in very good shape and rolled true if struck well. Tee box very very poor with long grasses and divots thru out. But teeing it up and swinging away didn't hurt game. Fairways were in good condition. Weather was good and staff was running a First tee workshop and can only help keep the game alive for the next generation.
Black Lake
Fairways were acceptable but not great; a. Umber of the tee boxes were ungroomed and unlevel. Greens were in pretty good shape.
Great Value
Great day to play Golf, never waited on a single hole.
Golf at Blacklake
We had two tee times with 7 players. A good time was had by all. Several holes were quite challenging with very different landscape between the two nines
Sunday labor day weekend
This course could much more than it is . For 60 $ plus the value was not there at best this a 45$ course , guess the extra 15$ was for being in the vicinity of pismo beach. area ? First thing I did was to belly up to the bar and ordered two bloodly Mary's at the tune of 18$ ? On a good day at best a 10$ value in my mind ? On the course the thing I notice after my first drive was there very few yardage markers and what it did have was diffacult to find and see ? All 18 holes were like this ? The cart had no GPS and no pin placement cards either , what they did have were the smaller flags on the pins that side up and down to indicate the pin placement and half of those weren't correct either?
Nice day!
We had a fun day golfing. Overall, the course was fine. We would come back.
Needs some TLC
Had to wait for cart #17 (Large Tournament finishing). Parking Brake did not work which was irritating on hills, (Law suit waiting to happen). Lakes were dry. Several greens were distressed. Mowing on fairways was very poor. Good layout, too bad it's in such poor condition. Compare to City Muni's. Pace of play good. Would have been quite upset if paid full Green Fee (Hot Deal). Sorry Black Lake, it was better the last time we played there.
surprising golf
It seems that the oak canyon (9 holes) gives the most interesting and challenging golf while the Lakes (back 9) are more conceiving and relaxing. Overall a good experience to be there with my family and enjoy a good afternoon.
