The Bayonet at Bayonet/Black Horse Golf Course

Surprisingly one of the most difficult courses I have ever played. Fairways were hard (probably due to the lack of rain in that area this year). Greens were very sparse in places and extremely fast. The pin placements were in “US Open condition territory” for sure.

Since it was my first time playing, I would now love to go back to play knowing where NOT to hit it.

Played Bayonet yesterday for the first time in two or three years and was very disappointed with the conditions. Tee boxes were rough. Fairways were thin with lots of bare spots. Several greens had large areas that had little to no grass at all. Also they were building 65 houses on the front nine. One of the features I liked best about the course previously was the feeling of being out in nature. Sadly, this will not be the case anymore. I have taken the course off my list of must places to play when in the Monterey area.

The starter gave me the option to play

Blackhorse instead of Bayonet- said it was less busy.

Played in 2.5 hrs. Warm, sunny and no wind- ideal conditions for January!

Have been playing these courses since the 70’s - both are World class courses, and a great test of your game!

Hopefully Troon Golf will maintain the integrity of this facility and keep it reasonably priced for locals!

Excellent course, beautiful day. I would highly recommend.

Played in light fog for the first 6 holes and enjoyed the well sanded bunkers in both the fairway and greenside locations. Plenty of rakes.

Greens are large, receptive and fast.. Tee boxes are beat up for the most part but usable. Fairways are firm and in good shape, the Bermuda rough is as cantankerous as when the base owned the course.

Great day on the links! Greens were very challenging, but made for great competition around the greens.

Beautiful ourselves. Great facility. Always in great shape.

It was my first time playing there had a blast will be back again, have to play black hours now

So much construction going on. Sadly within one yr, the place will be filled with houses. A slower development would have been easier to get used to. Now homes going up everywhere. Do not like some of the re routing of holes, just for development. Bayonet 11 and 15 were the ones mostly missed. Course shaped improved from a few months ago.

Pace of play crazily slow for a Thursday. One group was so slow! Marshall was nice and responsive in moving folks through that group, though they never should have to. No awareness on their part.

The course was in very good conditions, even after all the rain in late December. Greens were fast as always, so need to few rounds to get accustom. It is unfortunate that there seems to be housing construction within a few holes and extremely close to a few fairways.

Played this course forty years ago-Awesome

Played Jan. 2022 TERRIBLE CONDITION !

What an absolute waste of a great design and location. Who allowed this to happen ???

Fortunately I got a break on green fees through Golf Now. $119 vs $195, if I had paid $195 I may have sued them.

I WARN YOU, don’t play it !

Please get a new owner who can treat this property with some respect.

Been playing here for over 10 years, and this is the best condition it’s ever been in.

Greens must have been rolling 11 on the stimp

While the views were spectacular, the course was engulfed with fungus, and the greens were cut so close that it was as if there was no grass. I guess I had overly high expectations, especially for the price.
