The Bayonet at Bayonet/Black Horse Golf Course

Turned into a beautiful day on this track. The best part is the views. Lacked lush fairways. The tee boxes were in great condition and the greens could have used some attention. If you have the money and don't have to commute to far its a very playable track. We traveled an hour and got it for a great deal. I would not pay 165 to do it again.

Everything about my round was exceptional. From the proshop staff and course staff to course itself. Stunning views, well manicured with tricky greens.

A true pleasure to play

Under the circumstances you could say they did an excellent job. A few of the greens were inconsistent in speed and softness. Also the fairways were not at perfect as you would love, but again. It's December. So it's a definite 5 stars overall.

Layout at Bayonet is really, really good! I walk and it is a pretty easy walk and great views. Not sure what is going on with the turf but the fairways are suspect and the greens are too firm. The greens have too many slopes to have them that firm and fast. But the did roll great. Anyways, it is probably due to how dry it has been but you think they would be able to throw some water on the greens at least??? I would go back any time regardless and hopefully they can get back in good shape.

Great layout but very dry. I played with a local who indicated they have no been putting money into the course and the turf did seem to be stressed and in need of water. This would be a gem if they managed the turf better. Perhaps this is COVID related but they seem to be getting plenty of play so I would question this as an excuse.

I haven’t played at Bayonet- Monterey CA in years. I was so excited to come back to this course to this challenging course. The views are still beautiful, but sadly the course was not in good shape. The fairways and putting greens looked like something had invaded the pristine grasses. Lumpy, hard and blotchy patches all over the course. We had a discounted price but I would have paid more to play somewhere else. Poppy Hills was in excellent condition- we played there the day before and enjoyed every minute.

Who ever set the pins must been having a bad day and took it out on us. Each hole had very difficult pin placements. Definitely Sunday pins in a major tournament. I’m blaming my putting whose on this but it is still a great course.

The fairways were a mix of numerous grasses... w more sanded divots than I’ve ever seen on a course, leaving a very uneven surface.. The real issue is your service... I made two reservations, however my friend hurt his wrist 3 days before we were toplay... I was not able to contact anyone at GN.. the site wouldn’t accept my password, send me a reset code, nor could I speak with anyone on your 800 number!!! I am stuck with a green fee due to you complete lack of service... you’re no longer on my radar... Evan Long.... 704-564-9929

A difficult but still fair course - greens are quick and undulating creating challenges even for a good player. Course knowledge is a must.
