Lakes/Oaks at Blacklake Golf Course

I have played black lake many times and the course was always in good shape, this time we went the course was not bad, but not good, and really it was just some of there tee boxes was sand and dirt very little grass patches, but over all I would play there again as the lay out of the course is very nice

The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Black Lakes has 3 9 hole tracks: Canyon, Oaks and Lakes. We played all 3 tracks, The layout of the tracks was fun and most of the holes had something interesting about them. The greens where tight and fast and ran very true. The fairways, tee boxes and rough, unfortunately, where in horrible condition. I would not go back to play because the amount of money they charged versus the condition of the course is improper. I expected a relatively manicured golf course and was disappointed to say the least. I would only play this course again if the green fees where around $20-$25.

The coarse was littlered with twigs, probably due to high wind. The Oaks coarse has narrow fairways and fast slopped greens. At least they don't have a lot of sand traps.

Been playing at Blacklake my whole life and this is absolutely the best I've seen the course ever. Greens were fast and rolled true, and it was evident all around the direction management is taking this course. Great to see.

Men's Club most unwelcoming - hostile and rude!!!
Starter put us out on the Lakes cours in the middle of the Monday Men's Club outing. Challenged on the tee box by a bunch of the local yahoos who said we were on the wrong course and got up in our face, very ugly scene. Starter did nothing to defuse the situation. Quit after nine, and most likely will not return as there are lot's of other courses in the area where I can spend my time and money.

Rerouted upon check-in. Approached first hole and asked starter where are the pins located 1,2 or 3 position per diagram. Starter responded see the flag that is where they are, a real smart mouth. The group had two carts to start, one cart died on 6th hole and we had to walk two holes before we got another cart from clubhouse. Second cart of group died on 11th hole. Might as well walk because you do not get what you paid for!!! I would think twice before booking unless you like to pack up and repack your equipment-some song&dance about batteries.

Course is in good condition and very nice to play.One of the better courses on the central coast when in good condition as it"s been lately. Definitely recommend this course to play.

Good course. 3 nine hole sections keep it interesting. As with all coast courses the wind always comes into play later in the day. Never disappoints.

We would definitely not pay the full course price of $57 - The Oaks is not a good nine, Canyon and Lakes are better. Staff very friendly. Food and beverages are outrageously expensive. We thought $15 for a wine with soda and a Vodka was far too much.

My friend and I played as a twosome and were held up a little on the first nine by a fairly slow foursome but the marshall kept play going fairly well. We both set personal records for scores, and I myself have only been playing for a little over a year. For the price this course was in great shape considering its the middle of March and we are at record low rainfall. I highly recommend this course for a fun and decently easy day on the links

Fairways a little dry and sparse but everything else was great

On Arrival was greeted by the staff immediately and asked if we minded playing a different nine than we were scheduled for of the three nines that are present at the course. A morning tournament was running long and said we could go immediately. Appreciated their consideration. The group that was on the tee insisted that we go first as they were employees of the course. The greens keeper that we met was very friendly. Pace was good all day . Value was great with GN. Would recommend highly.

The course isn't maintained very well. The fairways and rough are extremely bumpy. I think it's worth about half of what there charging. I do like the structure of most of the holes though, pretty interesting.

As a local and Infinite member I have to say the course is in great shape. Now under new management and they are doing a lot of good work on the course. Great place to play!!

We (foursome) enjoyed the course. We were fortunate to have a player with us who had played the course previously. Narrow fairways in very good condition. There are quite a few hidden hazards that if you hadn't played the course previously would have made the course very challenging. None of scored as well as we were hoping, but a good time for all. The pins were placed in challenging positions but were in very good shape for this time of the year.

We enjoyed our day ... The Oaks Course has some pig damage. I enjoyed it overall and will play it again.

Course in great shape except for the tee boxes in very poor shape

We had a nice Fall round at Blacklake Golf Course. The BBQ had one of the best hot dogs at a course anywhere with grilled peppers and onions. The only complaint is the starter made our group feel like we were cheap for using the GolfNow advanced reservations. Interesting...

we always play here when visiting as it is very close

I haven't played BlackLake, in about 4 years, and the overall condition is good quickly moving back towards "pristine". I was glad to discover that this course has gone to being run by an outside management company. The company is really getting BlackLake back to it's original pristine conditions.
If you are visiting or live on the Central Coast of California, do yourself a favor and try out BlackLake..
