Black Horse at Bayonet/Black Horse Golf Course

Too much non golf activity. Too much noise. Too many detours. Bathrooms, when located, were being used by workers and were an absolute mess. The course itself is a great layout and the value is great. The greens were rough as they were recently punched. The fairways were good.

It was my first time playing this course. Got a before noon Hotdeal and 20% Mother's Day discount on top it and it was a great deal.

We had branch before the game. Food was good and very well priced.

Surprised to learn that practice range ball was included, and real grass at the range. The range was in very good condition at about 11am.

The course is moderately challenging, with a lot of bunkers. Green is not easy to read. The course was under construction in many areas where grass between tees and fairway is under repair. The good things is if balls go into the area, it's easy to spot but the sand would stop the ball from bouncing forward during a mishit.

There are nice views of the ocean at many of the holes but they will soon get blocked in the next few months by new houses getting built.

Wished there is ball washing station since I don't remember seeing any.

Save your money this course was under total construction lots of sand being moved. Gas lines,water lines and sewer pipes being installed. I know the new home construction needs to be completed but it’s not fair to charge the price and have to deal with mounds of sand and heavy equipment running the complete round. Monterey has many fine courses so stay away from here for about 6 months. When it’s finished it will be a large eye sore as all the ocean views will be gone for the golfers. Just someone cooking in a new kitchen 😳. All views of Santa Cruz, Pacific grove, Monterey Bay. Your view will be a new two story house with large windows facing the golf course. Just make sure your home owners insurance covers off property damage as the Milgard windows are not cheap.

Greens need work, fairways fine. All the sand and dug up areas are a mess, better before with just weeds.

Great course conditions

There is a ton on construction going on that makes it it one to avoid for now. I guess there will be lots of houses along the course forever altering the course/value. Entry road is old beat up and bumpy I hope they repave it once the construction is complete.

Staff are a mixed bag sometimes great sometimes aloof

No starter for twilight and no one on the course helping play.

When it’s hitting on all cylinders it’s worth it but maybe not at the moment.

I have played Black Horse previously and enjoyed the layout, the views and the challenges But on this trip there was so much construction of homes and access road that it detracted from the round. In fact as admittedly senior I missed the fifth hole and jumped in on 8.

The layout of the course as well as the conditions of the fairways and greens are really nice. But there is a lot of construction going on. Off of the fairways a lot of dirt areas and a lot of new housing projects on the property. The noise of the construction can be distracting. Some of the bunkers lack sand.

The views are great and the layout is really a lot of fun with great bunker placement and quite difficult greens. The greens are fast and very undulated.

Overall a great and enjoyable course with some current restrictions due to the construction sites. Value for money with golfnow hot deal teetime is unbelievable. Will come back to play Bayonet as well.

Too bad there is so much new construction adding homes all over the course. Seems like there was 50% fairways/greens and 50% areas being renovated, repaired, or built upon. Hope these courses don’t become more like the unaffordable Pebble Beach courses when all the development is completed 🥺

The two courses continue to be well maintained.

On this particular day, very crowded on Blackhorse. Need for a Marshall to control golfer pace

They are renovating and building homes around the courses but it doesn't affect my enjoyment playing golf here

Beautiful layout, challenging holes, good value.

Greens are too fast and have way too much slope and undulations. 3 putts are common and 4 putts possible. Simply no way to stop the ball when above the pin.

Completely unfair in many cases.

The course was in great condition even after the rain. Highly recommend
