‘Best 36-Holes’ on Monterey Bay, Carmel’s Premier Collection of Boutique Hotels Partner to Offer a Wide Variety of Stay-and-Play Options
(SEASIDE, Calif.) – Bayonet and Black Horse Golf Club, the “Best 36-Holes on the Monterey Bay” following a multi-million dollar renovation by the Bates Golf Design Group, today announces new “stay and play” packages with Inns by the Sea, the area’s premier collection of boutique hotel properties.
Inns by the Sea features five cottage-style hotels ranging from 13 to 35 rooms, all located in picturesque Carmel-by-the-Sea, one of the most sought-after shopping districts on the Peninsula. The packages, ranging from $249 to $389 per night, per golfer, offer a myriad of stay-and-play options at a variety of price points. Included (in addition to accommodations) is one round of golf, daily, on Bayonet or Black Horse with cart and range balls. Continental breakfast is delivered to the room each morning.
Additional golfers can be added for $95 per day, Monday through Friday, and $120 on Saturdays and Sundays. Rates are subject to availability and some restrictions, and can be booked through October 31, 2009. For pricing and booking, visit www.innsbythesea.com or call 800.433.4732 and ask for the Bayonet and Black Horse package.
“In this economy, golfers are searching for value and options, and Inns by the Sea is the ideal accommodation partner in delivering these components,” says Dick Fitzgerald, director for Seaside Resort Development, the entity spearheading the renovation of the golf courses and additional property enhancement. “With their completely remodeled layouts and brand-new bentgrass playing surfaces, Bayonet and Black Horse provide a championship caliber experience for a third of the price of the Peninsula’s resort courses.”
All 36 holes at Bayonet Black Horse re-opened in December 2008 after a $13 million renovation by award-winning golf course architect Gene Bates. Among the many changes to both layouts are dramatic alterations to corridors and hole routings to reveal breathtaking ocean vistas and improve playing options; and replacing invasive kikuyu and poa annua grasses on the tees, fairways and greens with the preferred Jacklin T1 Bentgrass, a rarity for the region that will ensure the best lies and smoothest putting surfaces on the Peninsula.
Bayonet and Black Horse, via Cypress Grove Realty, recently introduced The Enclave at Cypress Grove. The first phase of a 400-acre planned, residential golf resort community, The Enclave at Cypress Grove offers homebuyers 29 custom home sites, ranging in size from 12,000 to 20,000 square-feet and featuring ocean or golf course views. The gated, luxury resort community provides residents convenient access to an abundance of dining, shopping and area attractions.

About Bayonet and Black Horse Golf Club
Bayonet, with its narrow playing corridors and steep, penal bunkering, has long been considered the most difficult test of golf on the MontereyPeninsula. The par-72, 7,104-yard course has retained its famous bite after the recent renovation by award-winning architect Gene Bates, but playability and strategic options have been greatly improved. The uphill, dogleg right, 476-yard, par-4 ninth hole exemplifies the course’s significant challenge. Black Horse, a 7,024-yard, par-72 layout, features sweeping vistas of the Pacific and is highlighted by fescue-framed fairways, bunkers with distinctive, serrated edges and slickly-contoured greens. The par-3 15th, created during the renovation, faces the bay and is sure to emerge as one of the great holes on the Peninsula.
Getting There: The Monterey Peninsula Airport offers commercial and charter air service, including direct flights to Los Angeles, San Francisco,Denver, Phoenix and Las Vegas. San Jose International Airport and San Francisco International Airport serve the area and are one and two hours north of Bayonet Black Horse, respectively.
