Black Horse at Bayonet/Black Horse Golf Course
About
Following a $13 million renovation at this 36-hole former military facility, Black Horse Golf Course was not only dramatically improved, but now comparable to its more revered sister course, Bayonet. Black Horse has long been considered the easier of the two, but that's not exactly a given now with the improvements and lengthening by golf course architect Gene Bates. Its serrated bunkers may be a little easier to get out of than the cavernous craters on Bayonet, and the fairways are little more generous, but Black Horse makes up for it with more undulating and difficult greens. The renovation also opened up the views to Monterey Bay for both courses. Trees were trimmed, and both courses now have an overall cleaner look, especially with the latest bentgrass turf from tee to green.

Golfer Reviews
Sand in the bunkers but Slow greens
Good to see you’ve put sand in the bunkers though the sand type is mixed on Blackhorse (some fine white and some heavier local sand, a couple of bunkers even had both types)
You might think to just have the heavier local sand on BH and stay with the finer white sand on bayonet for consistency.
BH Greens were uncut and slow
Can’t wait to play the other course
Great layout on a beautiful course. Well maintained and beautiful lush fairways led to an amazing golfing experience. Truly enjoyed the pairing that I had along with the pace of play and overall great golf experience!!!
Must!!!
Must play for everyone! From the practice facil to the layout to the conditions and the amazing weather this time! Truly an exceptional round of golf and cant wait to play bayonet which I hear is more challenging! Kudos to the management team!
Best Courses in Monterey
I am so lucky to have so many great choices in the Monterey area. But for the money nothing beats Blackhorse and Bayonet always in great condition and challenging to play. Tell me where you can go and have 2 totally different courses and great staff.
These are some of my favorite courses!
I really enjoy playing the courses at Bayonet Blackhorse. They are challenging but fair and in excellent condition. I'd play them again in a heartbeat.
Absolutely Stunning
This course was one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. It was challenging but not impossible. The staff was incredibly accommodating and friendly. Big shout out to Jeremy in the pro shop. He’s genuinely an asset to this club.
Fast greens, no bounce
Recommend. Fast greens very little bounce. Fast play.
Great course!
I have played these two courses as many times great layout, challenging courses at a fair price. I would highly recommend to any avid golfer!
Great Round, Great Course
Black Horse was in the best condition I've ever seen before. We has an amazing day & enjoyed our Round. The weather was amazing so the views were sensational!
