The Bayonet at Bayonet/Black Horse Golf Course

Bayonet and Black Horse are two of my favorite courses to play. I'm local and play these courses often. Unfortunately the course conditions have started to go downhill over the past year. These courses have always been known for their amazing greens. Lightning fast with multiple tiers and the putts always rolled true. This is not the case anymore. The greens are getting worse by the week with pitting and grassless sections throughout. Ball marks aren't fixed by many players and it doesn't seem like the course fixes them either. It's disappointing but still great courses. Hopefully this is a short-term problem and the green keepers can get these courses back to standard soon!

The course is not in good condition: period!

They are in the process of changing the grass is what we were told. Explains the bare patches I guess. Also a lot of aeration underway, which I have no issue with.

What I do have issue with is being charged top dollar for the course when it is NOT in top dollar condition.

Outstanding course. Great staff. Excellent practice facilities.

Course and maintenance has gone downhill. Don’t over pay for the conditions.

A lot of funky brown patches with dead or no grass. Diseased?

I've played many Troon managed courses. This is NOT up to Troon's standard.

The fairways and tee boxes are in terrible condition and the greens are super inconsistent. Some of them would be super fast and then others would be super slow. I’m not too sure what happened to their course within the past year but it’s not even fun to play anymore. It could be because of all of the homes that they are building on there course but I’m highly disappointed in paying all that money to play a course that was in such terrible condition. I definitely will not be playing this course ever again!

Fairways were bare

Bunkers were rock hard. Haven’t seen a rake in awhile

The golf course at Bayonet/BlackHorse are really excellent layouts and I really playing there. In fact I am playing on 6/1/2022. Thank you to a wonderful staff.

Course is in great shape. Greens are smooth, could be faster but good condition overall

Food service was not great but course is worth playing

Bayonet used to be a course worth playing. The prestige and history of this once great facility was worthy of the praise and acclaim it received as it should. People are still flying in from Asia for the weekend to play here and at some of the other great courses in the Monterey area as they should the layout and playability is among the best in all of California. Unfortunately to find it in this condition should be very unsettling. What happened to the beautiful white sand bunkers, impeccably manicured and kept greens, lush fairways. For the weekend rate the current conditions are just unexceptionable there is currently no putting green to use, the driving was open but with a club demo day being held with limited stalls to hit from. I had was a foursome with 3 first time visitors and we showed up 1 hour early and had to wait for people hitting balls that were not even playing that day. The pictures used to “lure” us in are from years ago and just after it rained in spring nothing like what the course actually looks like today. The names associated with this once amazing work of art should be ashamed.

Played in 3hrs and 50 min. Great...

Fairways in good shape but thin in spots like the greens. Good though.

Pro shop said the golf now rate of $79 was wrong so we got charged $5.00 xtra for range balls we didn't ask for or use.. Wrf? Not cool...

But still a good day.
