About this 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.

Black Horse Golf Course
Seaside, CA · 4.2 mi away
Black Horse Golf Course is part of the 36-hole Bayonet Black Horse facility in Seaside, California, built on land that was once part of the Fort Ord Army base. It opened in 1964 as the base's second course, routed by General Edwin Carnes and named for the 11th Cavalry Regiment, the Black Horse unit once stationed at the nearby Presidio of Monterey. When Fort Ord closed, the City of Seaside purchased the property in 1997 and has operated both courses for public play since. The layout was later re-sculpted by architect Gene Bates, who rebuilt every tee, fairway, green and bunker while keeping much of the original routing, and added a new par-3 15th facing Monterey Bay. The par-72 course plays about 7,024 yards with fescue-framed fairways and contoured greens, and is generally considered the more playable companion to the adjacent Bayonet course.
Bayonet Course at Bayonet/Blackhorse
Seaside, CA · 4.3 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.
