Stay and Play in Monterey
By Nichole • Aug 27th, 2009 • Category: California Hot Spots
If you think these closing weeks of summer are taking discounted summer golf rates with them, think again. On the Monterey Peninsula, fall golf deals abound.

Bayonet and Black Horse Golf Club, voted the “Best 36-Holes on the Monterey Bay” following a multi-million dollar renovation by the Bates Golf Design Group, recently announced new “stay and play” packages with Inns by the Sea, the area’s premier collection of boutique hotel properties.
Inns by the Sea features five cottage-style hotels ranging from 13 to 35 rooms, all located in picturesque Carmel-by-the-Sea, one of the most sought-after shopping districts on the Peninsula. The packages, ranging from $249 to $389 per night, per golfer, offer a myriad of stay-and-play options at a variety of price points. Included (in addition to accommodations) is one round of golf, daily, on Bayonet or Black Horse with cart and range balls. Continental breakfast is delivered to the room each morning.
Additional golfers can be added for $95 per day, Monday through Friday, and $120 on Saturdays and Sundays. Rates are subject to availability and some restrictions, and can be booked through October 31, 2009.
“In this economy, golfers are searching for value and options, and Inns by the Sea is the ideal accommodation partner in delivering these components,” says Dick Fitzgerald, director for Seaside Resort Development, the entity spearheading the renovation of the golf courses and additional property enhancement. “With their completely remodeled layouts and brand-new bentgrass playing surfaces, Bayonet and Black Horse provide a championship caliber experience for a third of the price of the Peninsula’s resort courses.”
All 36 holes at Bayonet Black Horse re-opened in December 2008 after a $13 million renovation by award-winning golf course architect Gene Bates. Among the many changes to both layouts are dramatic alterations to corridors and hole routings to reveal breathtaking ocean vistas and improve playing options; and replacing invasive kikuyu and poa annua grasses on the tees, fairways and greens with the preferred Jacklin T1 Bentgrass, a rarity for the region that will ensure the best lies and smoothest putting surfaces on the Peninsula.
