Greens

Be aware that the greens on Bayonet are horrible. Lots of deep bare patches. Must've had some sort of grass fungus or something.

I made the reservation with my Wednesday buddies who were not pleased. They complained all day. Not fun when your putt, for big money, misses due to bad greens. Couldn't even repair things satisfactorily with our green's tools.

I'm not used to these conditions there. Played there many many times and never seen it like this. Boo hoo.

As usual

This course is almost always in great shape AS USUAL. Be careful on the greens. Fast and difficult. Playing them will help your game.

As usual

We are a foursome who play every week. We try to play different courses so each guy picks a course when it's his turn. My point is that we like Bayonet/Black Horse so much we find one of these courses in our rotation each month. We all love these courses. Gotta love golf in the Monterey area.

Great shape

I live in the area and found the course to be in the best shape I've ever seen it. The fairways were groomed nicely and the greens were mostly unblemished. We are thinking we'd better go play it again very soon to take advantage of it's current condition.

Surprised

I'm surprised that this course isn't more popular. We seldom see crowds, that actually slow down play there, in the mornings. Perfect course for walkers. Always in good shape. The price though is what is really nice. Don't know of ANY Monterey area courses you can play for under $40.00 with a cart.

Challenging

You better have a pretty good game to play this course. Hope you can consistently carry your ball 150 yards. One hole had a 185 yard carry between two trees. Yikes.

Another unfortunate situation is the damage the wild pigs make. Thank goodness they didn't mess with the greens but several holes had fairway damage next to greens. Not a good look.

My game isn't strong enough for this course but I will come back when it improves. (Hate losing so many balls). This day it was wide open but I can see high handicappers holding up play looking for errant balls. Including me.

'Excellent courses

We are a foursome that plays every week. We all enjoy coming here. Our last round was definitely more challenging though as the course was set up for tournament play. The extra high rough cost us extra shots on this day. Course management was essential. Was still very fun.

This is one of my local courses. This day it was in pretty darn good shape. The early fog made some drives extra challenging but overall a very fun morning.

Coastal challenge

Love both courses at this facility. Bayonet too is a very good golf course. Both are challenging with ocean views that will keep pulling you back to these gems.

Beautiful course and the price is right

The value of playing, either the west or east course, is what brings us back. We are a retired foursome of old farts living on a budget. The price is right. We also know beauty when we see it. These courses, located in carmel valley, are lovely and well-kept.

I live in the area so play this course fairly regularly if I find a good price. I really like the layout of this course. The course condition though could be improved. Great greens. Fairways and bunkers need a bit more TLC. Overall though we had a great time.

Gotta get back here. Fun, fun, fun.

Are you kidding me? This is a great rather-level course. (I could easily see myself walking from time to time). The layout is nice. The greens were pretty challenging. The fairways were well groomed. The price was very affordable and who could ever complain about the Monterey Bay weather? Paradise.

I have a good feeling this will be included into our weekly course rotation. Can't wait to get back.
