Golfers can book up to 14 days in advance at BayonetBlackHorse.com
and through iPhone ‘app’
(SEASIDE, Calif.) – Bayonet Black Horse, the 36-hole, full-bentgrass facility on the Monterey Peninsula, has launched a fully-integrated, online tee time engine enabling golfers to log onto www.bayonetblackhorse.com and utilize its popular iPhone application to reserve tee times up to 14 days in advance.
Website visitors need only complete a free, one-time registration form to access the Bayonet Black Horse tee sheet; members can book up to 21 days in advance. The iPhone “app” is available for free at iTunes, the key search word is “Bayonet.”
“The ability to book tee times online and through the iPhone app adds to the overall convenience of playing Bayonet and Black Horse,” says Dick Fitzgerald, project director for owner/operator Seaside Resort Development. “Golfers can take advantage of online specials, or use the website and app to browse detailed hole diagrams, golf course reviews and historical information, or to learn more about our value-rich membership programs.”
Rates for both courses are $100 on weekdays (Monday through Friday) and $120 on weekends and holidays. The senior rate (60-plus years of age) of $60 (weekdays) and $80 (weekends, holidays) is now available seven days a week. Catering to golfers who prefer to walk the traditionally-routed layouts, carts are no longer mandatory on weekends.
Bayonet and Black Horse re-opened in December, 2008 after a $13 million renovation by Bates Golf Design Group (Gene Bates). Both courses underwent dramatic view-shed alterations and hole re-routings to reveal new, breathtaking ocean vistas and improved playing options (including new bentgrass greens). They were included in Golf Digest’s “Best New Courses” issue for 2009 in the ultra-competitive “Renovation” category.
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.
