Get what you pay for.

Sorely disappointed in the course upkeep. Staff was friendly but forgot they had a tournament. We wound up getting yelled at by someone in the tournament for being in the mix.

Fun Course

Been playing here for about 30 years and it’s a fun little play for the price. Lakes corse is challenging with the enormous eucalyptus trees, Canyons course can score well with its openness and Oaks Course, keep it in play off the tee. For first time players I suggest the Oaks course for its scenery and then either Lakes or Canyons to follow.

Great deal

You can’t beat the value for an afternoon twilight tee time with cart. I prefer playing canyon & lakes over oaks as the conditions are better there. All in all, amazing value and decent course.

Good for the hot deal.

The previous reviews about the fairways are correct. The restrooms are even more municipal than the course itself. On the Oaks course some of the tee offs were very difficult. Trees blocked some wedge shots to the greens even in the center of the fairways. Neglected course OK for $40.

Hi, thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recover the fairways and greens. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game, and we will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Lakes/Canyon at Blacklake Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.
