Black Horse at Bayonet/Black Horse Golf Course

Played both courses back to back days & both were very well maintained from tee to greens...I thought I was a decent putter until I played these courses...I had read reviews on fast greens before I booked rounds here...greens r no joke.!!...greens seem like walking on concrete but a lot smoother...so if u r into that enjoy!! I think they probably don’t water them to avoid getting divots..mabey they get a little softer when the fog is in or after a good rain

I've played this course many, many times. The last three or four times I realized that I don't really enjoy it. Yes. It is tough, but at my age, I don't want tough anymore, I want, more or less, level lies and a hope in holy heck that I can stop an approach shot somewhere near the hole. It's more work than play. No matter where you hit the ball, including right down the middle, you have an uneven lie. No more of that. I will play Bayonet from now on. Today was my last round at Black Horse.

The greens are cut so short that you are essentially putting on clay mud. Course conditions are ratty and dried out. The fairways are cut so tight that you need perfect contact. How many of us these days want to play off hardpan because we are perfect ball strikers?

The greens have always been cartoonish out there but now that they are rolling at 10-plus on the Stimp meter, you really could not get a ball to stop on the green. While I like slick greens, they need to be able to receive approach shots. Everything is just SO dried out. My best guess is that they do not have enough money to keep the water on.

Just an overall lousy experience. Black Horse has lost its mojo.

2nd time golfing black horse....each time do better...beautifil

Day and view of monterey bay and surroundings.

Players friendly and the pace was fine for seniors..The range balls were new and seemed to go further which was a great way to start our round.

Third time Weve played Black Horse and each time we get better since we are more familiar with the greens and fairways. Pace seemed better than most courses and everyone was friendly and would stop to chat thruout the day. Although some of the fairways are long, each time we play, we are surprised how more confortable we become and make better shots, We also had a pleasant

experience @ the golf range and the practice balls were brand new and seemed to go further. All in all it was a pleasant day of golf

Beautiful view from both courses no water hazards.

I absolutely love this course. It is beautiful, but challenging; I get humbled every time I play here. Lots of elevation change, FAST greens. It was a little wet but I think that is due to the weather during this time of year.

I highly recommend this course for anyone looking to challenge them selves, or of the have friends in town and they want to impress them without spending a fortune playing in Pebble Beach!

Today we were treated to a spectacular blue sky winter day with sunshine. The course was in surprisingly good shape considering recent rain. The pace of play was under 4 hours which is a treat on such a tough course. Omg the greens can be tough but fair as long as you are under the hole. Staff was super friendly and given we received a local rate the deal was out of this world. Best day ever. 5 stars to the staff in the shop and out on the greens. Recommend in highly.

Went out solo on a cold crisp cloudy day. The driving range was pretty empty. A nice couple let me play through on the first hole which was a great start. No one in front so it made for a nice relaxing round of golf. I did see a lot of grounds keepers which added to the challenge on some of the holes. The greens are super fast and challenging as always. Had a great time and will be back!

Really pleasant experience. Course was a little soggy after a week of rain but overall in surprisingly good conditions. Challenging but fun. Personnel was pleasant & attentive. Only critique was the lightning fast tournament greens, but that speaks more to my putting than anything. Definite recommend.

Great layout and beautiful scenery. Wet from the recent rains but still very playable! Greens can be cruel to less than great shots and putts but birdies can be had too.

Come try it if you haven’t already and you’ll want to come back.

When I travel to the Valley for work I sometimes get extra time to play. One my favorite destinations is here. Both courses give the perfect amount of challenge with great views of the Pacific. I have heard many people over the years comment that these two courses are somewhat of a hidden gym. Would always recommend.

Blackhorse is one of my favorite places to play, and I love the that you can see the ocean! The course layout is challenging, and the greens are sometimes unforgiving, but that’s what makes it fun!

WARNING: Often you will land on the green and you’ll start talking trash to your competition, only to turn back around and see your ball rolling off the green into a drainage hole!

Just go out and enjoy the scenery, good friendships, and memories made....

Fore!!!!

Always a treat, fair but tough, especially the greens.

I liked this course but at the cost I would have expected sand in the sand traps. This course has more sand traps than any course I have ever played. But only 2 traps had actual sand. This make it nearly impossible to successfully play this course.

The rest of the course was in very good condition with very fast and tough greens.

Excellent golf courses, The greens are the biggest test.

They are firm and fast with plenty of undulation. Staff & facilities are great. Great views & location.

Great course and great deal. Would definitely recommend. Play here whenever I’m in area.

Great place to play in Monterey Bay area- highly recommend.
