Black Horse at Bayonet/Black Horse Golf Course

There was nothing wrong with the course. I just played badly on a beautiful day and a fantastic course.

The staff is amazing. From the greens keepers to the starter. But the blackhorse track. Gives people an entitlement that the Bayonet track deserves. So if you’re looking to get the best experience. Spend the extra money and play Bayonet. Or else you’re gonna be surrounded by golfers who want to say they’re playing blackhorse! But know they can’t hack it in Bayonet. So they take forever reading the greens, the greens are tricky, or twosomes with push carts who moronically, jump ahead of a single in a cart. Who’s eating a sandwich. I’m not a great player by any means. But Blackhorse is a easy track. And if you take longer than watching a actual horse grow into adult hood, to read a break in a put that you miss 10 feet short anyway. Then I think you’ll love waiting behind dude bros who just got the new M6 and want everyone to hear about it. But the staff. Couldn’t be friendlier. Hang out in the bar before your round at Blackhorse. You’re gonna need it

Brought my boys out to play Black Horse. I figured we would walk the front and ride a cart for the back since they are 9 and 7 years old. Staff was not present at all. Not even to check us in before we hit our first shots. Couldn’t get a cart, plus no water in any of the coolers. I couldn’t even get them to answer the phone at the clubhouse. This is a great course to play, but the staff worked really hard to make it miserable.

One more note: do not walk this course. Distance between holes is way too long.

The staff was short and rude. I barely noted the 'aeration" comment on golf now and only after booking. The only consideration given at the course was for a future "free round with a paid round" coupon which of course did absolutely nothing for an out of town guest with no opportunity to return. They also were not interested in helping with booking a round on the other course for the afternoon. There was no cart service and it was basically a very poor experience. The fairways were thin with spotty grass. The recently punched greens were as one would expect. Disappointing, but playable. At least the starter was friendly and helpful. The pro shop staff were so rude, I would not recommend the course to anyone even though the layout is nice.

Played Black Horse. Very pretty setting. Challenging course with many uneven lies with large, big breaking greens. Enjoyed the day and the course. Well worth it for the golfnow price. However, wouldn't be worth the rack rate (well over $100) as course not in great condition. Lots of bare and dry spots on fairways.

Not a good value. Paid $225 per person. This course should be charging $75 per person.

I would not have played this course if I had to pay the rack rate however after seeing the great $50 deal on GolfNow I'm glad I did. This is a very nice track and it's in great shape, undulating fast greens make this course challenging with some nice views of the ocean along the way. This course is well worth playing you will not be disappointed.

I have been meaning to come over to Bayonet/Blackhorse since the renovations over a decade ago. Blackhorse did not disappoint. I was paired with another single on a sleepy Thursday afternoon and we had a nice pace playing behind 4 older folks who moved along fine.

- I loved the condition of the course. The fairways were firm and fast. Lies were very tight, which I love.

- Greens were punched a few weeks ago I think so they weren't completely healed. Probably at about 75%.

- What a great layout. A nice mixture of treelined holes with some more open holes in the middle of the round.

- Large, undulating greens.

- Bunkering was BEAUTIFUL. Difficult but playable.

- Course is walkable for a fit person but you would definitely need your Wheaties beforehand.

Wife wanted to play golf at Blackhorse for Mother’s Day(I’m that lucky)! She made a good choice! Course was in great condition with tight lies and fast greens. Pace of play was great with no issues! Check in was smooth and an excellent Bloody Mary to start the day. Needed to wait for a good GN deal as the rack rate of $145 is ridiculous.

Paying the green fees through golf now is a must and makes the course value perfect. Course is in very good condition and staffing friendliness is excellent .8

Love Black Horse. Greens were near perfect, fairways were thin but certainly playable

The course was not in good condition. I was told they punched the fairways and added fertilizer in March and the fairways were burnt looking and very little grass. As I drove on the road leading to the pro shop, I could smell fertilizer.

Because there was so little grass on the fairways, it was

little hitting off of dirt.

Had read the course was rated highly, so on a recent trip to Monterey, I booked a tee time at Black Horse. This is a course we course knowledge would be very helpful. Even though I struggled on a few holes the course was a great test of my game. Diffiently looked forward to playing it again on my next visit.

Great Day at Black Horse. We played a 3 hour round. The course was recently aerated, but played amazingly well.

Blackhorse was in great shape. Perhaps the fairways were on the brown side, but understandable due to the aerating. Greens are almost recovered from aeration, as well. Hit the ball on the fairway and you're going to get a great roll. Hit in in the rough and there is a good chance you will easily find your ball. Pace of play was good. There was some wind, but not too bad. Be prepared for the greens, though. Almost all of them are undulating and difficult to read. Hit it past the hole and it may roll off the green. Overall, 9.5 out of 10.

Greens recently plugged and because of that they gave a free round of golf! Nice if other courses did that. Shot my best score in a year.

Blackhorse is always a favorite track of mine. They recently aerated the greens and tee boxes. Currently the conditions are a bit under their normal great conditions. Pace of play was fantastic as the aerated greens and super high winds kept most golfers away. Customer service is always top notch. They even called me a couple of days after I made my online tee reservations to make sure I knew the greens had been recently aerated.

In another couple of weeks I’m sure conditions will be back to their high standards.
