The Bayonet at Bayonet/Black Horse Golf Course

This course greatly disappoints as all the fairways were plagued with some diseased growth where greens patches of growth are splattered throughout all fairways. It was so bad that we had to implement bumping allowed while on the fairways. To make matters worse, there's housing construction right next to a few of the holes and if the wind is blowing, you get a film of wood dust blowing right in your face. It was so bad we had to wear our covid face mask while playing those holes. The layout is challenging due to bunkers strategically placed in almost all fairways right where most people would land their tee shots. All greens are at least double tiered so if you land on the wrong tier, a 2 putt is not a guaranteed. Would be a fun and challenging course when construction is done and all fairways repaired. But not now...

Staff very understanding, cart girl very pleasant and nice great sandwich every time.

This is a great course along with its sister black horse ! A real challenge!! But the views are wonderful and a grand time was had by all.

A course for a more experienced golfer, lots of fairway bunkers, need to hit a good strategically placed shot off the tee, mostly narrow fairways. Fast greens.

I've heard about the Bayonet Course from friends for many years, and played it for the 1st time, on a gorgeous weather day. The layout was refreshingly difficult and varied; however, the condition of the fairways was very disappointing -- rock hard, with a mismatch of various grasses -- that changed the "reward" of landing there into an unnecessary challenge. Bunkers and greens were OK, but also need some work. I would consider playing the course again, but not until necessary work on the fairways and greens has been done.

Just a beautiful place to play and quite a challenge! If you want to test your game this is the place to do it!

The course was welcoming, play was brisk, the greens were a bit difficult and unpredictable, fairways immaculate. I played there again any day of the week

apparently, everyone on staff heads home at 5 pm. no help on course or in cart barn. pace of play was very slow.

These two courses have always been a part of the Monterey golf story. Whispered about by those lucky enough to play them before Ft. Ord closure. Now, a public fee course, the mystery has been swept away. Bayonet plays every inch of its length, with sometimes very challenging narrow teeing areas and greens very well protected with bunkers. No water in play. Distant bay views from many different vistas. Wind always switches “on” at 10:30, and, woe to those playing in the steady 20 mph breezes in the afternoons.

Great layout, very challenging. Putts have subtle breaks. Greens were in great condition.
