The Bayonet at Bayonet/Black Horse Golf Course

Big long layout. Super hard and fast greens. The locsls say this is similar experience to the more expensive courses in the area. But lower cost. Beautiful cypress trees. One of my favorites to play in the area.

The conditions of the course in mid March are very rough. Greens not filled in and rough putting and the fairways very patchy. Hard to find any nice grassy areas. I am sure it is just the time of year where not warm enough to grow grass. If you are local, continue to play the course but if you re visiting I would not recommend playing the course this time of year because of the poor condition. and the rates are too high for this poor condition. This is the former Ft Ord golf course and very disappointed they do not have a military rate.

This course used to be my must-play in Monterey area for the price-value but it's no longer true. Played baoynet and BH yesterday -- lots of bare spots, including tee boxes.

Green remains fast but super bumpy. my ball has to roll over large spots filled with sand.

Understandably the CA drought makes brown the new green, but still very disappointed to see the green quality.

Following the sand on the beaches, next in line would be the sand traps, the greens are in their winter hybernation so don’t expect to make your usual amount of short putts, love the place.

Course is in great shape, all around from tee box to bunkers to greens. Some construction going on and can get a little loud but overall thus is a great value for a great course.

Bayonet.Blackhorse are two of my favorite courses in the Monterey area. I've been playing these courses for years and always enjoy the experience. This time, the drought condition was evident. The course is generally in pristine condition, but it was a bit worn and beat up in some places (tee to green). Like most courses in northern California, lack of water is having an impact. I still enjoyed the round and the staff was friendly and helpful (as usual).

Bayonet is always a good value. Typically a round with cart will cost around $80. The course is laid out nicely and is a good test. It’s always in pretty good shap although sometimes a little thin in the winter.

We played here a few years ago. I was so excited to come back to play but was disappoint with the condition of the course. The green was dry. Green speed was fast but not roll true as the ball slow down. Course overall was dry. Due to the dryness, the course does not look as nice as I once remember.

I had heard my whole military career what a wonderful course this was...and I think at one time it most likely was, but not now. It is however an excellent layout and I can see that it had its tine as a great golf facility. I just felt completely disappointed with the overall course conditions...maybe it was the wrong time of the year, I just don't know. Two people in the pro shop, one was just there to take ur payment, the other was much more friendly and shared information about the course. Just my opinion.

The course conditions, specifically the greens was very disappointing. The green was lumpy and sparcely grassed, didn't roll true and the ball skipped across the surface. The green condition was very much like what you would expect at an economy pitch and putt.
