Monterey’s “Best 36 Holes” teams with No. 1 club fitter to offer cutting-edge game enhancement
(SEASIDE, Calif.) — Bayonet Black Horse — the 36-hole, full-bentgrass facility on the Monterey Peninsula — and Hot Stix Golf, the game’s No. 1 club fitting company, are launching a new onsite facility to offer golfers custom club specifications that increase distance, accuracy, consistency and confidence — translating to lower scores.
Certified fitting experts at the outdoor facility will use scientific research to ensure golfers receive the perfect club head and shaft combination. It features the Doppler Radar technology, “TrackMan,” which calculates shot characteristics with unparalleled efficiency, tracking exact ball flight from launch to landing.
“Bayonet Black Horse attracts the finest players in Northern California, and we are thrilled to offer our custom club fitting services to these elite players,” says Mike Helfrich of Hot Stix Golf.
“The new Bayonet Black Horse Hot Stix Golf location will be a convenient place for local and visiting golfers to take advantage of cutting-edge club-fitting technology,” says Dick Fitzgerald, project director for owner/operator Seaside Resort Development. “With Hot Stix Golf, the Tour-level practice facility, and two championship-level courses, we believe that Bayonet Black Horse is one of the state’s leading game enhancement centers.”
The Bayonet Black Horse location will be equipped with technology to customize every club in a player’s bag. Golfers have access to hundreds of Tour-level built demo clubs, similar to the custom prescription recommended through their fitting.
Based in Scottsdale, Arizona, Hot Stix Golf is the No. 1 custom club fitter in golf, serving 150 Tour pros and more than 25,000 golfers worldwide. With locations in Scottsdale, Carmel, California, Stanford University, Westchester County, New York and Orlando, Florida, and now Seaside, Hot Stix Golf was named “King of Fitting” by GOLF Magazine.
Bayonet Black Horse was upgraded during a recent $14 million renovation by Gene Bates. The Bayonet course hosted qualifying for this year’s U.S. Open and has been selected to host PGA TOUR Second Stage Q-School in November.

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 Monterey Peninsula. 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.
