Played Bayonet this morning with good friend DeepSea14. Some opening statements that I left out of last week’s review of the sister course. The practice putting green in in horrible shape. It is scheduled for aeration at the end of the month. Don’t worry about it as the greens on both courses are in nice shape. Driving range is open (currently on mats) as is the practice area that consists of some sandtraps, a bona fide green and chipping area that includes an area out to about 65-70 yards on some tight lies to get you prepared for what you’re about to endure.

Bayonet is pretty much in identical shape as BlackHorse. Tee boxes were in excellent shape and the fairways while offering tight lies are in very nice condition as well. Greens at Bayonet are a bit tamer than BlackHorse. Greens all have multiple tiers and humps but not as severe as the sister course. It also helped that the pin placements today were in some friendly locations. Get on the wrong side and it can be a torture chamber trying to save bogey for sure. Greens are definitely on the firm side.

No issues with the bunkers both greenside and fairway. Both presented quality sand and consistent conditions.

Bayonet has one advantage over Blackhorse in that in doubles back to the clubhouse at the turn. Both courses offer numerous views of the ocean (see posted photos on the GK app) and elevation changes throughout.

Midweek prices are respectable but weekend prices are a bit high IMO for a regular weekly play. For a tune up round in the peninsula during a once-a-year golf trip? I’d say weekend prices are adequate. POP seemed a lot quicker than the just under 4HR actual time. Weather was brisk for sure and the beverage cart was around a few times.
