Lakes/Canyon at Blacklake Golf Course
Played On 05/24/2023Nice course to play
Nice course layout with little danger of getting hit from parallel fairway. Other than the fairway grass being a little sparse, the course is in pretty good condition. They have three separate nine hole courses with provides variety. Overall, it's a nice course to include among your selection.

Played On 05/16/2023Course Conditions Are Improving
The greens are tricky and are about 90 percent recovered from the most recent punch and sand treatment. The wet weather this spring has improved the fairway grass. This course has two impressive features which set it apart from most others. First, the course entry road has a beautiful chainsaw carving of a golfer made out of a large tree which was cut off about 20 feet above ground. Second, the 10 tee features a gorgeous waterfall which the player has to carry as their drive flies into the 10th fairway. Finally, the restaurant has an excellent cook named "Liz" who prepares great burgers, sandwiches, and hot dogs.

Excellent staff, especially Tracy. Very efficient and friendly; he is perhaps the best on the Central Coast of California.
The tee boxes should be leveled and new sod laid. The sand traps are consistent and well maintained. The 10th hole at this course is the most aesthetically impressive of any I've seen in this area with it's beautiful waterfall. On a number of holes there wild clumps of grass that may be crab grass which should be eliminated. They interfere with the fairness of hitting the fairway.

Played On 04/26/2023Greens unplayable
This is one of the best courses in the Central Coast and the only reason for the downgrade is because of the periodic green aeration. They did a thorough job of punching the large holes and adding sand over the entire greens. At the present time, I view them as unplayable, but in about six weeks they should be back to their usual condition which is excellent. The working staff at this course is perhaps the best and friendliest in the entire Central Coast. Very nice course (generally).

Played On 02/18/2022Nice course with great potential
No parallel fairways so chances of getting hit with a ball from another fairway is zero.
With some improvements, this course has the potential to be a top notch place to play.
I would recommend work and improvements be centered on the following:
1. The tee boxes need to be leveled on many of the holes, but there are a few that have been improved such as hole number six.
2. The grass on the fairways is quite sparce, but it is winter and they may improve during the warmer months
3. The sand bunkers are better, but could use more sand.
4. The carts do not have roofs nor windshields. Thus in warm weather players will get more exposure to the sun and in colder days, the carts without a windshield cannot provide any shielding from the cold air as you move forward

Played On 10/20/2021Enjoyable day of golf
Nice course layout with no parallel fairways so the chance of getting struck by a ball from a player on a different fairway is remote.
Greens were just sanded, so putting was awful. Normally the greens are average and putt fine. The tee boxes could use some work to upgrade them and the same for the bunkers. The potential for making this an excellent course is high. The carts do not have tops nor windshields which is a negative because of increased sun exposure and a lack of protection from the wind and an errant golf shot.

Played On 07/23/2020Decent Course
The tees could use significant work and the greens have some invasive grasses that need to be treated and removed. The course design is very good with no parallel fairways and strategically located sand traps. The fairway grass is average. The design of the greens is better than average and the golfer is punished when placing the ball above the holes.

Played On 07/22/2020Nice course layout and pleasant views
I like the greens which are a little faster than average and in excellent shape. Both tees and greens are kept in very good condition. Ed who works in the pro shop is cordial and efficient. I rate him superior at doing his job and dealing with the general public. The golf carts are in excellent condition and work well. They have an above average driving range but use mats which I do not prefer.

Played On 07/10/2020Nice layout
Tees could use some work. The fairways could use more water. Greens are about average. No parallel fairways which is excellent and a good safety factor.
Riley who periodically is the starter and works in the clubhouse is top notch and cordial.
