The Bayonet at Bayonet/Black Horse Golf Course

This is a Wonderful golf course. Great staff. Great breakfast. It is hard though. Bring your big boy game.

But a really nice and fair course. Fairways were nice/in solid shape . LOTS of sand traps both in fairways and guarding and around greens. Definitely a course I’d play again. At 50+ golf now fee, it was well worth the price 1/2 to 1/3 of the normal rate.

This is a challenging course for a 16 handicapper, the greens are exceptionally fast

Enjoy playing here. Greens were very fast and tough pin placements. But will definitely play here again. Friendly staff.

I’ve played Bayonet many times over the last 3 years. Unfortunately the course is in very poor shape right now. There is so little grass on the fairways and greens that you can see dirt through the razor thin grass. The fairways are also loaded with old divots and the greens have lots of old ball marks. I hope they find a way to rejuvenate the course - it’s not fun to play right now.

Bayonet was outstanding! Incredibly friendly staff and a great test of golf. A must play when in the Monterey area.

Love this course. Probably too difficult for me but manageable from the white tees.

Bayonet is a "championship" layout that always features pathchy, tightly mown, wet thin turf, uneven rough(gophers), and very firm, slick, but rather bald, severely contoured and sloping greens. Bring your A+ game and only hit high, soft irons, as most holes don't allow for run-ups to many pin positions.

Views of Monterey Bay are spectacular, the practice area is the best in the area, food's good, and their weekly demo -day allows you hit nearly all brands of clubs with good quality practice balls.

Excellent overall operation, but it's "work" playing both courses in the always chilly Monterey weather, with thin, tight lies, and the greens are often ridiculous considering the speed/contouring/firmness.

For the 40 years that I've played these courses, it's always been a challenge to grow good turf in this location.

Course is a great tough layout. I hadn’t played the course since the redesign about 10 years ago, but it is a lot more forgiving than before due to clearing of many trees and making landing areas larger. With the golf now “hot deal” rates it has to be one of the best values in the country. Highly recommend this course.

Get ready for some 4 putts. Greens are super fast in many places and hard to read. Awesome course though and you’ll want to come back

Come play Bayonet if you want yo be tested. Course is in awesome shape. Fairways and greens are firm. Beautiful views everywhere. Course knowledge needed to be successful. I highly recommend playing here.

Having played these courses quite a few years ago, I guess I was expecting a great improvement after its renovation. The fairways were in rough shape and the traps were quite varied from dirt traps to some sand bunkers. All the trees were much better trimmed but the fairways look as if they have too much play. The course is still challenging due to the layout but compared to other Monterey area courses this was a little below par.

Sunshine in the mid-sixties. Wide fairways with bunkers placed to force the golfer to carefully place their shots. Putting difficult on fast greens with many bare spots. Nice restaurant, entire staff from pro shop to cart handlers very friendly.

Best course to play in the winter!! Hardly any drainage issues. I heard the course is built on sand so it drains really well! Fun place for everyone.

Staff was very friendly and course was in great shape even during this wet season. Tons of character on the tough greens. Great experience.
