Worth checking out!

I’ve seen this course go from good (late 70’s) to very, very bad and back to better than before! The playing conditions are the very best it has ever been! Yes, it seems to be an unfair test but if you really look, it will test all aspects of your game! (Physical abilities to mental stability) LOL
Unlike many public courses you just can’t just “grip-it and rip-it!!! Play the sloping fairways and sometimes you’ll get rewarded and sometimes not! Patience is a virtue! It can look wide open but the landing areas are really kinda small!

The greens are a real test! Like most tough greens keep your approach shots below the cup and make an extra effort to miss the cup on the high side!

One more tip!
If ya play the right tees it will be a blast! They have many new teeboxes that will make it a fun day so pick your tees wisely!!
Friendly staff!
Great views of the South Bay !!!
Good food!

Great surprise

The last time and only other time I played Presidio was during the 80’s! I thought this was the longest 6300+ yds, I have ever played! Well it wasn’t that different! But the course conditions were so much better! There weather was as good as it gets! This is a must play! There wasn’t much to complain about, other than that age old complaint! “Fix your ball marks!!!” I can tell there are a lot of people.working their butts off to keep this Great golf course in very, very nice shape! Please keep up the good work!
I will be back and I will definitely recommend President to everyone!

Great views with a golf course!

This is a must play and see! I play here everytime I come up this way! The playing conditions weren’t as good as previous visits but they are still very, very good considering the long spring thaw! The only thing you’ll regret here, is that you didn’t score better! It will get ya if you lose focus!
The quality of the course is a reflection of all who work here!
I will play here many more times!
It is a must play!

Terrific

Second round of the day. Wasn’t sure if I would last all 18, but I did and enjoyed every minute! Conditions were absolutely marvelous! Grizzly Ranch is a course for all! Tree lined fairways but the fairways are wide! Greens were very good! (Not to many ball marks) a little on the speedy!
A few forced carries but manageable! Only a few blind tee shots!
No complaints here!
Great trac!

One of the toughest!

This is my 4th time playing here. This one of the toughest tracks have ever played. Conditions are pretty good, especially after the long spring thaw! I can’t think of one thing to complain about! All the employees are friendly, courteous and helpful!!! It may be tough but it is well worth playing! Views, conditions are all very very good! Don’t miss any chance to play!

A little disappointed

Course conditions where a little disappointing. The front and back greens were different speeds. (Front nine were a little slow and bumpy, back nine was a lot better.)
The greens were teared on the back and kinda flatish on the front. Back nine was a little more entertaining than the front.
I don’t think I would book another time unless I could get the same rate ($61). Even $61 was a little more than I would like to pay unless the playing conditions improved drastically! All in all, pretty good layout! Everybody was helpful and courteous! Got a great Polish dog meal deal!

Great Target course

First time playing here. Read some reviews and thought I would try. This is after playing Aliante CC, I walked in asked if they had room for me and Drew was more than happy to help me out, The wind was blowing pretty hard! (20 mph with big gust) ! This is one of the best target courses in the area that I’ve played! Elevation changes were phenomenal! Lots of views from of LV and the. Valley! Put this on the list of. Must Plays!

One of my favorites !

First of all, I am a NCGA member. This is one of the fairest test of golf in the Monterey area! You gotta have all the clubs working when ya play here! Course conditions are some of the best! You really have pay attention to where you land your tee ball and where your approach shot land on the green.
Overall this has become one of my favorite track!

Worthwhile!

Played 5 rounds during my stay on Maui. Every day a different course. This was a very good golf course. The condition of the fairways and greens were very nice! There was a change in elevation from tee to green. Narrow fairways, most were tree lined.The putting was a real challenge! This is a course you don’t want to just drive by, like I did! I played the last day of my stay and was very sorry that I didn’t have the time to replay that day or again the next day.
Stop and play it.

Worth the drive

I stayed in Scottsdale and drove out for a 9:05tee time. It was about an hour and a half drive. Had breakfast at Red Rock Cafe, which is just outside the course and it was very good. The only reason I didn’t give the great course all five stars, is because there were more than a few wet spots. I had to really pay attention to where I was driving. With all the breath taking views, it was hard to pay attention!
I would definitely recommend playing this course!

One of my favorites

I can't think of one thing that I'm not happy with concerning Blackhorse Bayonet golf courses. They have always been my favorites. For no water hazards, this one of the toughest tests of golf I can think of!!! No tricks just flat out tough!!!
I haven't eaten there so I'm not going to comment on the food.
Blackhorse Bayonet will always be a heartbreaker, because it will get ya somewhere in your round!
You've got to play them both! There is no way around it! It will be worth every penny!

Hidden gem

I really liked the layout. There was only a few blind tee shots. The course showed a little drought condition but it was very playable. I was told to play from the white tees but I didn't think it was all that tight. Next time I will play from the blues. Not an overly long course but it is visually intimidating! Greens were pretty good. Not overly fast but they had some suttle breaks. The day was a little long (5.5 hours) but it was Fathers Day!

Good test for anybody!

This is one of my favorite tracks! Fairways are alittle suspect but they are working hard on them! Lots of elevation changes, small greens (some of the smallest I've ever played) pretty smooth and alittle speedy! Great value! Oh, lots of trees!!!!

Good little test of golf!

First time here. Pretty good little track. Greens were in very good shape! Very narrow fairways (lots of trees,) very good variety of length of holes. I thought the price was right and I wasn't disappointed. Try it you'll like it!

Pretty good deal!

This is a short course with great par 5's! There is water to contend with on a few holes. They pack a lot of golf in a pretty small area. Some of the fairways were being worked on so there is some ground under repair.
Greens are pretty interesting, so pay attention or they will get ya. They are usually a little slow but the last few times I've played they were a little speedy for there.
Good course for all beginners. Good track to work on the short game.

This has always been a fun track to play. Can be longish, always windy, always in pretty good shape. Been playin here along time, even before when it used to be called Riverside. This course will teach you how important the tee shots is!!

Fun, Demanding & Fair

This was the second time I've played here. The greens were a little slower than the last time but they were plenty challenging. This a neat little track! Is coming real close to making my favorites list.

great greens!

I played the Jack Clarke course. The fairways need work but the greens are in great shape. Medium speed greens that are pretty smooth! The layout is a little confusing, since the cart paths intertwine with some of the other course. Most of the rough is bermuda, can be a little difficult to advance the ball.
Decent value!
