Black Horse at Bayonet/Black Horse Golf Course

I do not recommend this course for beginners! Very challenging, and very deep roughs if you happen to miss the fairway with your drive! Conditions are very good, both in the fairways and on the greens!

This was a great experience and would recommend every time someone is looking for a course in the Monterey area. Amazing views, felt like I was playing a PGA quality course, very undulated and unique to most courses, greens very tough but made the play unique. Pace of play was normal (4hr round), on a weekday it felt about 70% capacity. Practice facility will get you ready for the round. Overall loved the round and looking forward to the next.

Beautiful course and very long with lots of sand traps. The fairways were relatively wide open with room for error. Course conditions weren’t the greatest since I believe there were heavy rains in the days before we played causing many toppled trees and soggy/irregular greens. I also personally like have water features on a course but this one doesn’t have any with big expansive areas of dirt/sand.

Haven’t played here in a few years. There is a lot of construction. Houses being built but did not interfere with the game. There was an extensive amount of sandy areas which were very expensive. All in all the course was fun to play and I would do it again.

The course conditions were outstanding. The fairways and greens were impeccable. The sand bunkers were well maintained. There was a good variety of challenging holes. Reasonable number of bunkers and a few greens had multiple levels which I struggled with maintaining my average score. There were no water features. Practice facilities were nice as was the clubhouse. Maybe a couple of things I didn’t expect. There were large expansive areas along the side of the fairways with sand. The construction of new homes were in progress adjacent to four holes. Although they appear to be nearing completion.
A real plus was the hillside location where from several holes you get a great view of Monterey Bay in the distance.

I wish I hot the club house after the ninth whole but the view of the ocean was amazing and the greens were amazing

I have played this course many times and have never seen it in better condition from tee to green. Bunkers are well maintained and consistent. I had an 8AM tee time as a single on a Tuesday morning and was able to play in 3 hours riding. The staff was very friendly and accommodating (from the pro shop, starter and on-course beverage service). You can pay a lot more for golf in Monterey, but you won't have a better experience.

Course is in great shape. The difficulty begins on the greens. Fast with subtle not so subtle breaks. We pretty much had a putt-a-thon the whole day.

Great course! Playing partner broke hand on 7th hole and credit wasn’t issued due to injury.

I really enjoyed playing Black Horse. The greens were very challenging and the fairways were like greens. I would highly recommend this course.

Everything about the experience was 5 star. Outstanding! Too bad they are building houses on many of the holes, but otherwise as good as any other 5 star course out there.

The course is beautiful to look at and play! Everything done to the course is first class! The only draw back is the extensive amount of sand outside of the sand traps! It’s nice to save water in unnecessary lawn areas but you got carried away. Also you need to loosen up on the electronic sensors seemingly not placed in less strategic areas! Even traveling near dirt areas seemed to set them off! Ugh!

Loved the course and it's layout. The staff was great at adjusting our tee time to allow an earlier start. Greens were true across all holes. It was a most enjoyable experience.

The weather was beautiful - clear and sunny, just perfect in the morning and then the clouds appeared and the fog rolled in. It got cold and was tough to see the holes through the fog.
The course has lots of sand dunes and bunkers. A very challenging but fun layout. Great course conditions, Greens were nice and the putts rolled true. One hole had ongoing construction which was distracting.
Pace of play was excellent - finished in less than 4 hours. Good signage was helpful as we hadn't played here before.

As always a great experience, the greens are always challenging . The new waste areas are very difficult to advance the ball out of. Recommend you chip back to the fairway
