The Bayonet at Bayonet/Black Horse Golf Course

Golf on the Monterey Peninsula rarely disappoints, especially at Bayonet or Black Horse, two of its most affordable rounds of golf. Bayonet is the tougher of the two layouts, but that doesn't detract from its enjoyment. The routing is loaded with doglegs through the Cypress trees and Monterey pines, which makes finding fairways and the proper angle off the tee imperative to scoring well. It's a proper challenge.

Overall was very nice experience. There were noises coming from all the construction on the course. They were annoying.

A really nice layout. Course conditioned especially the greens were excellent. If I ever return to the area I would play again.

It is a great course. I hope I get a chance to come back and play. Next time I would like to also play Black Horse.

This place was great, and I can't wait to get out there and do it again. My only complaint was that we only saw the cart girl 2 times in 5 hours.

Great course and beautiful surrounds with challenging greens

Positives....the area is amazing. Looking at the the courses and clubhouse is very nice. The pro-shop pro was very good.....so was the bartender.

Negatives: the carts were horrible. They constantly shut off...as they are supposed to when you get near a green or in a restricted area...but these shut off constantly: First cut of rough, some dune areas not others,,,,even in the fairway about 100 yds away from the 18th green. There was no consistency with them at all. No signage on the course for restricted areas at all. Just total guesswork. I also asked how the greens were...they said running at 10.5, I'm not an expert but I'd say closer to 12 or 13. No white sand bunkers at all as pictured. etc. etc.

The bigger issue were the field reps...starter/ranger. The starter sent us out on the wrong course even after we clarified to him which course we were playing and let him know we had never played before. We realized the mistake along the way but couldn't turn back if we wanted to finish 18. A ranger approached us to get off the fairway with our cart...even though it hadn't shut off. We told him what happened and his solution was to give us the correct scorecard. And he basically flung it at us as he was puffing away his cigar.

This is a Troon course in Monterrey Peninsula and we paid a lot of money especially for a twilight rate. We had high expectations but were disappointed. Since pace was slow, we coupled up with the group in front of us and said there is a monthly pass you can buy for $350 and get unlimited golf. This was not good to hear. I cant see playing either of these courses again when I'm in the area. Way too many better options.

I first played here in the early 90's, this my all time favorite course.

Sprawling property, fun layout, a tee option for all levels, fast pace even though crowded, and in great shape.

4 hrs for 12 holes on blackhorse on 17th behind ladies tournament. Played bayonet 19th, starter was probably the worst customer service I've experienced in 58 years of golfing.

Course was in incredible shape and great views. Pace was as fast as we wanted after an 8:00 start (finished in 3:20)

Fair but challenging. Views of the Pacific Ocean on some holes. Very well maintained. Greens were well kept . It was a lot of fun.
