Played Black Horse in Monterey on Sunday.
Beautiful course - absolutely MURDEROUS greens. Holy shit. Far more difficult than Pebble or Spyglass in my opinion. Shot a 93 with 43 putts, my buddy shot an 86 with 35 putts. We're about the same handicap but I really struggled with the greens. He had some fantastic wedge shots that stuck near the flags while I could barely get my chipping together to set up properly, resulting in much longer putts.
If your chip wasn't dead on the money, buh bye there it goes 50 feet past.
There are no flat spots whatsoever on any of the greens. Also, the back 9 greens are harder than the front - I had 18 putts on the front and 25 on the back.
Bayonet will be the next Monterey course I play, though I'm also hitting Carmel Valley Ranch on Thanksgiving.
