Bayonet Black Horse GC (Bayonet)

Golf Course Review Bayonet Black Horse Golf Club BAYONET Seaside California

Reviewed by: Alex326, Monterey, Ca

I hadn’t played Bayonet in a while (I usually play the sister course Blackhorse). Bayonet is a bit tighter in the fairways, but the greens have a TAD less undulations, but are quicker. Overall, Bayonet is in great condition as usual. Greens were smooth and very fast. They are on the firm side so anything less than a perfect well struck full approach shot has no chance of staying on.

Fairways are in nice shape overall. With recent rains, there were a couple of thin/wet areas but nothing major. Skirt areas around the greens are very tight lies. Rough was manageable, lush and cut to about 2″.

Tee boxes were absolutely gorgeous. Perfect in every aspect, lush, level and divot free.

Sand traps were a mixed bag. And I should know. I was in A LOT of sand traps today. The first one was decent then the next few were wet heavy sand, followed by a couple of thin bunkers, only to finish off with the last one being perfect. Sand was pure white and fluffy like fresh powder snow.

Only saw the cart gal once and the restaurant still needs an overall. Course is always challenging, offers views of the bay and has above average conditions. It’s definitely a peninsula go to course and a good warm up for challenging greens before hitting the big courses in the 93953 zip code.
