Arguably one of America’s greatest hidden golfing gems, Bayonet Black Horse is set in the Monterey Peninsula region of California, an easy place to get lost among golfing giants such as Pebble Beach and Cypress Point. However, Bayonet Black Horse is worthy of recognition in its own right. The two tracks lay side-by-side, but each offers its own challenge and beauty. Named after two divisions of the U.S. Army, the courses have seen its share of action on the fairways, having hosted the PGA Professional Championship in 2012 and again in 2018.

Bayonet Course
Named after the U.S. Army's 7th Infantry Division, the Bayonet Course was designed in 1954 by General Robert McClure when the Army was still on the site. As a left-handed player with a serious slice, he put in holes 11 to 15, now known as ‘Combat Corner’, a collection of doglegs that will prove a challenge for any golfer. The Bayonet features aggressive bunkering and narrow fairways throughout, it is known to be a stern test of golf, your golf management will need to be on point to have a look at a good score.
Black Horse Course
Named after the 11th Cavalry Regiment, Black Horse was added a decade after its big brother. The Black Horse was originally considered not be enough of a challenge, as such, renovations in 2008 have transformed it into a golf course of equal calibre to its neighbour. A highlight of the Black Horse is the breathtaking view over Monterey Bay, that looks particularly stunning from the par-3 15th. The serrated edges of the bunkers are distinctive and contrast the smooth edges on the Bayonet.
