Fort Ord, Bayonet Course Overview: Located on the old Fort Ord
military base, this golf course does not have one drop of water on it, and it is not
needed. Cut from the Monterey forest, it is tight and very
difficult, featuring some of the most difficult dogleg left par 4’s
anywhere. The best golf holes are reviewed
below:
Fort Ord, Bayonet Course Hole 2: This downhill par four with a view of the distant ocean is as straight as can be. However, it is also as tight as can be and any errant tee shot will spell doom for the golfer. The approach is to a shallow green with only one fronting bunker that must be avoided.

Fort Ord, Bayonet Course Hole 4: This beastly par five weighs in at 626 yards and doesn’t have any bunkers or other trouble until the green. It is simply long and tight, requiring three accurate shots hit for good distance to be successful. (not pictured)
Fort Ord, Bayonet Course Hole 10: Holes #1 and #10 are very similar: short par fives that are dead straight with uphill second shots. Both are very visually pleasing and fun to play (and provide some of the only scoring chances on the course). This one is slightly more fun as there are more greenside bunkers. (not pictured)
Fort Ord, Bayonet Course Hole 11: This severe dogleg left requires a little faith off the tee as the part of the fairway the player wants to hit can’t be seen. Trusting the distance to be correct, if the player finds the fairway, a relatively short approach will face the player to a tiny, tough to putt green.
