Tee box

Teeing off on uneven surfaces is the trademark for this course. I understand the owner, Mr Rossi likes to use this course as on of his write offs for his business

Great course layout

But a great layout is swiftly followed by bad bounces and worse lies greens were slow and bumpy but I am spoiled when it comes to putting surfaces overall the course is for sure recommended because you get a great round for a decent price which is harder to find on the Central Coast

Economical small-town course

Nice course for the average player (over 10 handicap index). Three nine-hole courses to choose from.
Fairways need more grass, but hard to grow in our drought conditions.

Oaks - Canyons

Course in pretty good shape. The par 3 (hole 8) on the Canyons is still having the tee box rebuilt but the rest of the greens were solid. The fairways looked good as the recent rain definitely helped with the usual bare spots found on this course. The Oaks layout is funky and narrow but course designer was limited by the real estate and terrain. Overall, good value for the money as with Golf Now deals can be found.

Value for the Money

Did a last minute golf now deal. A little over $30 to play 18 with a cart. Hard to beat. The recent rain has helped with course conditions. The fairways were decent and the greens were in good shape.

Do Not Play

This course only gets the 1 star for the greens which were, I have to say excellent. Otherwise it is a utter goat track. No definition between fairway and rough, both of which are in awful condition along with the tee boxes. I have been playing golf for over 30 years and have never come across such a poorly maintained course, apart from the greens, which were receptive, quick and rolled true, getting to them was the issue. Glad we purchased via a hot deal at at $58 (inc fees) instead of the normal $79 + fees. I wouldn’t play here again if you paid me, STAY AWAY!

Good Deal on a Saturday

It was a last minute decision to play Black Lake on a Saturday but the online Golf Now deal was too good to pass up. The course was in good condition and the bunkers had plenty of sand. On a couple of holes on the Canyon 9 there were a lot of leaves on the fairway which sometimes made it tricky to locate our golf balls. Pace of play on the front 9 was great. We hardly had to wait at all. The back 9, Lakes, was a different story. Play was backed up quite a bit, but it was the Saturday right after Thanksgiving. The front 9 took @ 2 hours, but the back 9 was closer to 3 hours. No big deal. We had fun.

Nice greens

Greens were rolling nice. Overall course condition wasn’t great. We are heading into winter so I’ll take that into account. But $91 on a Friday morning is too expensive. You’re better off playing Monarch Dunes or Cypress Ridge near Blacklake.
