Black Horse at Bayonet/Black Horse Golf Course

Played new years day and there were a couple of muddy spots and/or maintenance areas but for golf in January this course was in great condition. I highly recommend both Bayonet and Black Horse if you get the chance.

This is how a golf course should be maintain. Greens were fast but fair, really really good condition for tees, fairways and bunkers

Toughest greens in Northern California. Love testing my game here. Greens almost always at tournament speed.

Having an early tee time in December, it was very cold to start. The "Hot Deal" included free range balls so that helped to get a little warmed up before the first hole. Thankfully, the weather warmed up by about hole 4 and was perfect the rest of the way!

The greens were about challenging with some of the slopes. The ball could easily roll off on a few of them depending where you hit, but I like that challenge.

The day was made perfect though on hole 14 after I hit my tee shot that went right of the fairway and was in a some sand/dirt area about 150 yards from the green. I hit a 7 iron and nailed it to card a 2 and my first ever Eagle! I look forward to playing here in the future. There wasn't any aspect of the course and staff that I wouldnt give a 10/10.

Challenging course with fast, elevated greens with multiple levels. Pin positions were such that a small miss ran off the greens by 10+ feet.

First time I played early (8:20 tee off)not a real fan of wet grass.Also never realized how much the sun is in your eyes but see know why people do it,our round just over 3 hrs and after first two holes sun was high enough it wasn't an issue.Greens were fast like always and why I come to this course but I see many reveiws cursing that which I don't understand at all.Is it challenging?absolutely and thats why we play here.If you want something not quite as hard play Bayonet,its slightly longer but not near brutal on the greens or bunkers.For people who don't enjoy something that takes all you got,try quail lodge,carmel valley ranch,laguna seca or Del monte all of which will give you a run but not frustrate you if this is not your cup of Tea.But if you wish to challenge yourself and not whine about it then this is it!

Played day after playing Bayonet. As good a layout but the greens are even more sever than Bayonet. Had quite a few good irons into the greens that would roll off into some runoff and be 100 ft from the pin. Can't have greens that severe play that dry and fast. In addition the pins were not easy ones. Water on the greens would make it much more playable and not sure why they don't see that?

But great layout and fun to play. Will be back at some point.

This place was great. Challenging but still a blast. Greens are stupid difficult though. My score definitely suffered due to the greens
