Bayonet used to be a course worth playing. The prestige and history of this once great facility was worthy of the praise and acclaim it received as it should. People are still flying in from Asia for the weekend to play here and at some of the other great courses in the Monterey area as they should the layout and playability is among the best in all of California. Unfortunately to find it in this condition should be very unsettling. What happened to the beautiful white sand bunkers, impeccably manicured and kept greens, lush fairways. For the weekend rate the current conditions are just unexceptionable there is currently no putting green to use, the driving was open but with a club demo day being held with limited stalls to hit from. I had was a foursome with 3 first time visitors and we showed up 1 hour early and had to wait for people hitting balls that were not even playing that day. The pictures used to “lure” us in are from years ago and just after it rained in spring nothing like what the course actually looks like today. The names associated with this once amazing work of art should be ashamed.

Great course we had a 1:20 hot deal and asked to be moved up to an early time (7:45) and the staff was great about it. Apparently there are 87 or more bunkers here, we only found 3 of them and one water hazard. If you drive it well and hit fairways you are rewarded same with approach shots. Greens ran medium fast and true. The weather was perfect and so was the course. A must play if your in the area. We will be back and adding the other 3 courses to or itineraries.

Course was well maintained and a good test for 6 and under handy cappers from the blacks. I played with 3 high handy cappers who played from the whites and made many a bogey Jack did wonderful job with this facility. If I lived locally I would play here 4 times a month.

Best deal I could find hands down, I haven't found a better site yet for the deals that this site offers.
