Black Horse Golf Course

Seaside, CA · 0.4 mi away

Bayonet is one of two courses at Bayonet Black Horse in Seaside, California, built in 1954 on land that was part of the Army's Fort Ord training base. It is named for the 7th Infantry Division, nicknamed the Bayonet Division, and was originally shaped under General Robert McClure. The city of Seaside purchased the complex in 1997 after the base closed. The course was substantially renovated in the 2000s by architect Gene Bates, who added new bunkering and reworked the front nine while keeping the tree-lined character of cypress, oak and pine. A stretch of holes 11 through 15, known as Combat Corner, is known for its sharp doglegs. Bayonet is now a public course of roughly 7,100 yards and has hosted rounds by touring pros and dignitaries over the decades; it operates alongside the companion Black Horse course at the same complex.

Bayonet Golf Course sits on the former Fort Ord Army base in Seaside, California, on the Monterey Peninsula. General Robert B. McClure designed and built the course in 1954, naming it after the 7th Infantry Division's "Bayonet" nickname; a stretch of sharp doglegs on holes 11 through 15 became known as "Combat Corner." After the base closed in the 1990s, the City of Seaside acquired the course in 1997, and architect Gene Bates carried out a significant renovation completed in stages through 2007, reordering several holes, adding a new ninth hole and reworking bunkering while keeping the course's tree-lined character. The public course has hosted PGA Professional National Championship events and is paired at the same facility with the companion Black Horse course.

Laguna Seca Golf Ranch is a public course on York Road in Monterey, California, near the Laguna Seca recreation area on the Monterey Peninsula. The 18-hole course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Jr., known for elevated tees and bunkers positioned around most greens. The layout measures 6,226 yards and plays to a par of 71, with a championship slope rating of 129 from the back tees; uphill dogleg holes and water hazards on several holes add to the challenge despite the modest yardage. Amenities include a 13-acre practice facility with more than 20 hitting stations, a golf shop, and a restaurant with patio dining. Walking is permitted and the course is open to the public year-round, weather permitting.
