Bayonet and Black Horse

The Bayonet and Black Horse golf courses on the Monterey Peninsula have played host to 3 PGA Professional Championship in the last 7 years. They’ve also been the host for the Trans-Miss Four ball and continue to host the US Amateur, Pure Insurance Qualifiers as well as the Safeway Open pre-qualifier. The 36-hole facility in Seaside, Calif., was recently on Matt Ginella’s top 50 courses you must play in the US. Bayonet Black Horse being just 10 minutes from Pebble Beach this is a must play during your bucket list trip to the Monterey Peninsula. The Bayonet, which opened in 1954, is a classic, tree-lined 7,104-yard course that offers expanded views of the bay. The Black Horse, which opened in 1967 and plays 7,024 yards, has been transformed from a series of tightly tree lined holes to a more open and flowing environment. Both par-72 courses are steeped in military history and were created on the site of the former Fort Ord.
