Black Horse at Bayonet/Black Horse Golf Course
About
Following a $13 million renovation at this 36-hole former military facility, Black Horse Golf Course was not only dramatically improved, but now comparable to its more revered sister course, Bayonet. Black Horse has long been considered the easier of the two, but that's not exactly a given now with the improvements and lengthening by golf course architect Gene Bates. Its serrated bunkers may be a little easier to get out of than the cavernous craters on Bayonet, and the fairways are little more generous, but Black Horse makes up for it with more undulating and difficult greens. The renovation also opened up the views to Monterey Bay for both courses. Trees were trimmed, and both courses now have an overall cleaner look, especially with the latest bentgrass turf from tee to green.

Under Construction
Black Horse is under construction right now. Lots of houses being built on the golf course and most of the rough is ground under repair as it is just dirt. It is a shame. So unless you have a military discount you can get a much better value elsewhere.. Hopefully, in a few years when the houses are built and the course is repaired, it won’t be totally ruined.
Blackhorse Round
I played a round of golf at Blackhorse GC on Moday the 27th. You couldn’t ask for a better day to play at this beautiful and great golf course. The weather was perfect an playing such a nice course with the beautiful Monterey Bay as a back drop is tough to beat. The course was in very good condition with some areas under repair. I would highly recommend this course to all.
Transition 8/26
Actually trending in a good way. Course was recently overseeded and fairways were better than they have ever been (more grass, no hardpan). Excessive lumps of clippings and torn up in a lot of places off the fairway but cant wait to see it all tuned up
Starter Don was cool, most of the feont desk guys were rude and not helpful
Great course and condition
I played here on a weekday morning. It was a bit foggy but everything else was great in terms of the conditions and pace.
Beautiful course
First time playing and all I got to say is tricky greens. There was a decent amount of course under construction so that lost a star from me but besides that would totally play again. Cool carts too, built in Bluetooth speakers🤘🏾
Love this course
A couple holes have construction underway on a new subdivision. Probably my favorite course on the peninsula.
December Review
We continue to appreciate this great local golf course
Bulldozers & construction noise
If you like to play in a construction zone or near lots of houses then these courses are for you. It’s a very different experience now
