Black Horse at Bayonet/Black Horse Golf Course

Bayonet is lined with tall cypress trees on many fairways so accuracy is a premium, play the proper tees for your game. Greens were firm and fast with subtle breaks, and nowhere near as severely sloping as the greens on Black House, the easier course off the tee. One warning: the practice bunker has very little sand in it and was nothing like the bunkers on the course which were fluffy. Two very enjoyable tracks in a beautiful setting with no houses to deal with.

Pace of play was atrocious. Took over 5 hours. No marshalls on the course to monitor the course of play. I still have a headache.

Played here for the first time after playing Bayonet the week before. Liked it a lot better than Black Horse. Got out at 7:20am and the course couldn’t be better. Greens and bunkers were perfect and the course played tough. Had a wonderful time.

As some advice, get there early as the pro shop back up looks like Highway 101 on a Monday morning. And beware of the starter with white hair and aviator glasses. If your not at his hut 5-10 minutes before your tee time, he will let you know it.

Best combination of quality and value in Northern California. Would play this before any other public course on Monterey penninsula.

Great challenge of golf. Wonderful layout. No two holes alike. Narrow but not too tight. Can play tougher and longer with afternoon winds.

Make sure to stop and take in the views. The military knew how to build golf courses.

Fantastic is a perfect one-word description for this place. Love it. Never played here before, but had heard good things about it. It lived up to my expectations. Beautiful course with beautiful views. Don’t miss!

Sat was busy could use a few more Marshall’s and a driving range with more than 8 stations

Blackhorse was a pleasure to play and the staff was super friendly.

The only complaint (and this goes back over 50 yrs. when run by the Army) is not allowing fivesomes.

Noone has ever made a coherent argument for not allowing 5-somes. Blaming them for slow play is vacuous. If the slow player in a foursome plays slowly, do others blame foursomes? No, they blame the slow player. Owners, please wake up and realize a 25% increase in revenue with the same amount of tee times.

these course Baynonet/Blackhorse are a must play if you are visiting the Monterey Bay Area.

The courses are a PGA qualifier making it a challenge. The fairways and greens are excellent considering that it is the winter season. Be sure to practice the downhill putts, the practice range needs to do away with the mats

Most fantastic Golf Course with such beautiful setting. Course will give you all the trouble you can stand and then some. What a course for such a fantastic price per round. Waiting for my next outing.

This course is amazing but you need to plan ahead if it will be your first time on black horse. My suggestion is to come to the course a day in advance and bring the greens keepers gifts!! Beg them to put the pins away from the ridges. This time at black horse all the pins were put on crests and unplayable. The other 3 people in my group and myself, had blowup holes on approach’s that landed on the green within 10’ of the flag and rolled off into collection areas that were so abused they made chipping back up impossible. Horribly placed flags but the rest of the course is amazing.

This was my first time playing at black horse. Let me tell you this was an awesome golf coarse in general but for 55 dollars it’s amazing coarse. Everything was in excellent condition. The greens I found to be the most difficult I have ever played. Most have 3 putted five time but still enjoyed the challenge. This is a must play if your in the area. Not to mention the views are extraordinary.

Played Blackhorse for the first time. It is a great course with nice layout. Greens were extremely fast and very challenging. A downhill putt with a little too much speed can end up 30 feet off the green.

These 2 courses give you the opportunity to pick your poison. Black horse is wide open off the tee and has impossible greens or bayonet has tighter tee shots required but you’ll make the strokes up on the greens.

Great course for the money! Pack food with you if you want a meal at the turn as the course doesn’t go back to the clubhouse and the cart girl just has bars and maybe a sandwich. When we went the greens were probably a little faster than normal which definitely added a few strokes.

Showed up only to find out they had tournaments on both courses, took 2:45 to play front 9, waited up to 15 minutes between shots. Got to the 10th, group on on the green, one in the fairway, one on the tee and one group waiting. Asst. Mngr., Mike, offered to credit us 9 holes and come back... really... I live an hour plus from this place. Disappointed every time I play here so I'm done with B&B. too many nice course to play other than this

I've played this course a few times, but never seen it this good. It was a beautiful clear day, which made it possible to see all the way to Cannery Row and beyond. The greens were absolutely immaculate, hard and fast! Lots of undulation in the greens as well with tough pin locations. Better leave the ball in the right spot or very easy to three putt. The fairways were also in excellent condition, but some of the tee boxes were a little beat up... not complaining! The grounds crew was hard at work cleaning up a extraneous brush and it showed. The course was wide open, never waited. $59 is a great value If you can get out there during the week.

Black Horse: More open than the sister course...some short holes (keep the driver in the bag), but the lack of length is made up for by some sloped and quick greens. 2 of the greens were nearly unputtable....All 4 players had to pick up on hole number 3 cause the pin location was so ridiculous even when below the hole you could putt passed it and role all of the way back down to the front :0....Overall fun to play, and would do it again...I like Bayonet better though

probably the hottest weekend this year in Monterey area,it was 88 degrees and greens were lightning fast almost to a fault.If you didn't hit the hole on the downhill putts ball was long gone most holes.Veiws amazing and fairways in great condition only complaint I have was didn't see the cart girl the whole round and it was hot.Are 4 some was dreaming about a beer most of the round.
