I hadn't played Bayonet in a while (I usually play the sister course Blackhorse). Bayonet is a bit tighter in the fairways, but the greens have a TAD less undulations, but are quicker. Overall, Bayonet is in great condition as usual. Greens were smooth and very fast. They are on the firm side so anything less than a perfect well struck full approach shot has no chance of staying on.

Fairways are in nice shape overall. With recent rains, there were a couple of thin/wet areas but nothing major. Skirt areas around the greens are very tight lies. Rough was manageable, lush and cut to about 2".

Tee boxes were absolutely gorgeous. Perfect in every aspect, lush, level and divot free.

Sand traps were a mixed bag. And I should know. I was in A LOT of sand traps today. The first one was decent then the next few were wet heavy sand, followed by a couple of thin bunkers, only to finish off with the last one being perfect. Sand was pure white and fluffy like fresh powder snow.

Only saw the cart gal once and the restaurant still needs an overall. Course is always challenging, offers views of the bay and has above average conditions. It's definitely a peninsula go to course and a good warm up for challenging greens before hitting the big courses in the 93953 zip code.

Back on the home course on Saturday, 12/15. $50 with the OB Card, teed at 8:20ish, and finished in just over 3 1/2 hours with John_T and his dad.

Course was in great winter condition. Tee boxes mostly level, some divot damage. Fairways were lush, no thin spots, the re-seed has taken very well, except along the water on #2. Rough was 1-2 inches and fairly lush. New bun... » More

Course was in great winter condition. Tee boxes mostly level, some divot damage. Fairways were lush, no thin spots, the re-seed has taken very well, except along the water on #2. Rough was 1-2 inches and fairly lush. New bunker sand is going well, saw them replacing some on the back. Greens were pretty good to great. Some ball marks, but mostly smooth, almost fast.

It's winter so the migrating birds have homestead on 2 and 9, so there's a chance of a poop ball. Weirdly, they like the 9th fairway over the 18th on the shared lake.

Always a fun time and a good challenge. 17 and 18 are a great finishing combo.

Played on Friday, 11/25 (really sorry about the delay!), on a windy, chilly morning. Played in about 4 hours, paid $70 as a PACC member guest.

Typical Paiute conditions. Nice, level, almost divot free tee boxes. Carpet like fairways with complete tee to green coverage. Rough was about 1-2", just enough to cause a problem. Bunkers were decent, a bit firm. Greens were phen... » More

Typical Paiute conditions. Nice, level, almost divot free tee boxes. Carpet like fairways with complete tee to green coverage. Rough was about 1-2", just enough to cause a problem. Bunkers were decent, a bit firm. Greens were phenomenal. Smooth, firm, and probably as fast as they could be without the wind blowing the ball off. Downhill was crazy scary, just incredible.

Service was great as always. Always surprises me when I get there to find the bar/grill empty but for one or two souls. Easy check in. Wolf Range was the only one open, but plenty of room for everyone. Drink cart around at least twice per 9, plus the snack shack at the turn. Only complaint, started on 10, which brought the great finishing holes in early. Just weird, never seen the back 9 start at Paiute before.

Snow is my favorite between it and Sun, Wolf is a different animal. Love the finishing holes and looking back from the clubhouse.
