About Bayonet Golf Course

Bayonet Golf Course at Seaside is one of the Monterey Peninsula's most storied public tracks, originally built as a military course for Fort Ord soldiers and later opened to the public after the base's closure. The course is a bold, demanding design with wide, tree-lined fairways, deep bunkers, and Bermuda-rough rough that gave it a reputation as one of California's toughest public tests. Its companion course, Black Horse, shares the same Fort Ord heritage. Bayonet has hosted numerous professional and amateur tournaments, including rounds of the California State Open, and its conditioning and pedigree rival many private Monterey Peninsula clubs at a fraction of the price. The bayside location delivers cool coastal air and occasional fog that adds an atmospheric quality to every round.

History

Bayonet Golf Course was originally built in 1954 for military personnel at Fort Ord, designed by General Robert McClure. After Fort Ord's closure in 1994, the course was renovated and opened to public play, quickly earning recognition as one of California's top public courses. It underwent further restoration and improvement under subsequent management.

Golfers seeking a genuine Monterey Peninsula tournament-caliber challenge without the Pebble Beach price tag.
