It was upon this land that General Bob McClure constructed the Bayonet Golf Course in 1954 and due to Bayonet's initial acclain Fort Ord decided to expand the course. In 1964 a second 18-hole championship course named Black Horse was officially opened.
Under the management of BSL, Bayonet and Black Horse are gaining more and more recognitio. 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 a practice round in 1997, PGA Tour Professional Billy Andrade said, "If they play the U.S. Open here, the scores would be over par. It's tough, but it's fun!" One thing is for certain, the Bayonet and Black Horse Golf Courses offer golf enthusiasts and history buffs alike, an experience that they are unlikely to forget.
Travelling north along the Pacific Coast Highway from the resort community of Monterey lies the City of Seaside. In the heart of this city the U.S. Military purchased a tract of land in the 1950's to be used as a training facility named Fort Ord.
