One of Seaside's hidden gems is the Bayonet & Blackhorse Golf Courses, which consist of two beautifully groomed courses rated among the top on the Monterey Peninsula. The coastal courses shine with their emerald green fairways, challenging play and breathtaking views of the bay.
Formerly part of the former Fort Ord Army base, the courses were made public in 1997. Since then, Bayonet & Blackhorse has quickly emerged as popular championship level public courses. Both courses are steeped in rich tradition, and have played host to PGA Tour greats such as Palmer, Nicklaus, and Watson, as well as several U.S. Presidents and foreign dignitaries.
After recent renovations, the front nine of the Bayonet course and back nine of the Blackhorse course are currently open. The two courses will be fully renovated and offer 36 holes of golf by March 2009. In addition to course renovation, a luxury resort and spa are in the planning stage of development. Late 2009, a resort community will be unveiled on the property, complete with a Fairmont Hotel.
