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.

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.
Black Lakes
We really enjoy the variety of courses, the course is in OK shape considering the drought, we always have fun there
Sad condition
The staff was ok however had some free play coupons would not honor them . Next we reserved canyon and lakes but was put on lakes and oaks , bath room was dirty no paper lakes were dry greens were blotchy I've been a resident of A/ G for 16 yrs played black lake many times sad to see it in such poor condition marshaling was well there was none took 6 hrs to play .
Barely worth $17.00
It's painful to play this course when the tee boxes are so bad and fairways not far behind ...with all the nice courses nearby it's just weird that they can't take care of it ....it will cypress and monarch for us...9 hole in pismo is in better shape .....
Beautiful Course
The course overall is great, but since we are in a drought right now, they have had to let certain things go, suck as the grass on the driving range and some of the greens have dead patches of grass. Beware of the poison oak at the edges of most fairways along the "Oaks" course and a few of the "Canyons" fairways, if you lose a ball, consider it gone or risk getting a terrible case of poison oak. Other than that the course is great, quite technical in many areas and a lot of fun!
Friendly staff.
We had a good time. Staff is friendly and helpful. Course needs some attention. Some greens and tee boxes are in pretty rough shape.
July 4th golf
I have been playing this course for 15 years. It is in good condition and getting better. The greens are in better than average condition. The pace of play for any day was great but for a holiday was excellent. I teed of at 9:00 and after the second hole had no one pushing us or holding us up.
nicely laid out
will be back & probably stay overnight .................
friendly atmosphere..lots of poison oaks
Fun at Blacklake
Super fast play on a challenging course. Play all 27 holes for a terrific day of golf
time to trim tree branches.
The old lines of trees on the lake course are in desparate need of a good trim. They act line curtains drawn to protect the greens.
This coarse has interesting features that iit does.
I really enjoyed my game. It had been awhile since we have golfed there. Weather was great not being rushed. Great golf !!!!!! no pressure. Thanks
The price was right
The fairways and rough are in bad shape. There are a lot of bare or barely covered with grass areas. The greens are in excellent condition.
RETURNING COURSE
For a while this course was a mess, it is under new management and is returning to its former glory.
If you happen to be in the area...
This course is made up of three nine holes - The Lakes, the Oaks and the Canyon.
We played the Lakes on the front nine and the Oaks on the back...
The Lakes course is pretty wide open so easy to recover any stray shots while the Oaks has tighter fairways on some holes. Greens were well maintained. Our cart started dying around the 16th hole; had to push the cart from the 18th green back to the cart shed... LOL!
Enjoyed the Oaks better than the Lakes. Would consider going back to play the Canyon course.
great condition
excellent condition, greens are fast but hold. Need to call before ordering on golf now because your not always playing the course you may have paid for.
Mt favorite course
Having three sets of 9 holes is great. Just started golfing again 3 months ago and this is by far my favorite course. The staff is very accommodating and friendly.
