Black Horse Golf Course
Overview
Black Horse Golf Course shares its clubhouse with Bayonet at the former Fort Ord, offering a more scenic and slightly more forgiving counterpart to its sister course. Set on rolling coastal bluffs with sweeping views of Monterey Bay, Black Horse winds through native grasses, pines, and dramatic elevation changes. A major renovation modernized the layout while preserving its panoramic vistas. Together with Bayonet, it makes Seaside a premier 36-hole public golf destination.
