Black Horse at Bayonet/Black Horse Golf Course

Sandwiched as a single among groups of foursomes, terribly slow, rough very difficult to hit out of

Great course with recovery shots possibly because there is no OB. Greens are challenging but not too frustrating !

Staff is great and pace of play good .

Since the turn did not lead back to the clubhouse , you could not get lunch. The food cart only had 1 sandwich left , which we had to share. Otherwise a beautiful day as the weather cooperated as well. Definitely will be returning.

Simple stated: It's about 15 miles from Monterey and with so many nice courses nearby you have to be good to survive.

Tees and fairways were scruffy. Greens smooth enough but very firm. With heavy rough and lots of sand traps this a difficult golf course.

Only complain is that the fairways and some tee boxes are beat up.. The experience was great with range balls and cart included in price, the fast pace of play in the morning also helped.. The course could definitely improve the raking of the bunkers in the morning to get good lies.

Great track. Greens super fast and great pace of play.

Great Layout - Greens were nice but you needed to know where not to hit the green as the ball could roll off front, back or side. Good Value for the Monterey area

I have played this course many times and this will be the last until the improve the course conditions. First off if you are off the green you can't putt because the grass is so uneven and has grass patches that will not allow an even roll. The rough is spotty so the ball is either sitting way up or down in the dirt. The sand bunkers, particularly hole one was hard as a rock with no sand. The rest were either same or inconsistent The tee boxes were not good. The only thing that was not bad was the putting greens. With the current conditions of the course they should not be charging $119.

Played Bayonet and Black Horse on 8/15/21 and 8/16/21. Fairways were deceased or something, as they were dry and patchy on all 18 holes of Bayonet and on many of the holes in Black Horse. Greens were top-seeded but fast, so that was Ok. I wish GolfNow would have explained the conditions for us to pay $119 per round. I was told the course was great, but conditions were in very poor condition. My guess is that is will take 3-4 months at least to get the fairways in decent conditions. Wait until Nov 2021 after to play these courses unless they discount the green fees due to conditions.

Tough but fun course. Some elevation changes through out the course. Greens were firm, quick, and true. Fairway, boxes, and rough were fine, not supreme. Punishes you off the tee if you miss, tons of trees on every hole. The gloomy sky, construction sounds, and maintenance guys could’ve made for a smoother experience, but I will be back. Ps Monday is the maintenance day it seems.

a lot of the fairways are suffering from uneven turf, lack of grass and bare dirt conditions. not sure if drought related or lack of care or overplay or otherwise.

Range and Bayonet are closed due to a car show. I new the course was closed but range wasn’t mentioned. Not cool. The practice putting green is in bad shape and not indicative of the course.

Blackhorse is a challenge with its tough greens always but today seemed tougher than normal. Some areas of the course need mowing and cleanup done and tee boxes need attention too.

I’d like someone to please tell me why the twelfth hole is cart path only? Idiotic! It just slows everyone down and backs things up.

I’ll be back and I hope things get better.

The Staff was very friendly and professional. The layout is excellent and challenging. The course conditions were a bit hard. The greens were very firm. The fairways were thin. I am not sure why because I don't live in the area. I have played there multiple times and will return. Both courses are fantastic and enjoyable to play but I am hoping the fairways and the greens are in better shape next time.

Great course, I would highly recommend playing either course. It’s unfortunate that they are in the process of building houses in the course and have removed many trees. I was fortunate enough to get great weather, played there last month around the same time of day and the fog was so thick you couldn’t see the pins halfway down some of the fairways
