Rating 75.0

The environmentally friendly Blackhorse Golf Club in Cypress was designed by Peter Jacobsen and Jim Hardy, who teamed to build one of the best 36-hole, daily-fee facilities in Texas. Designed to maximize the natural setting, this beautiful complex is a perfect setting for golf with its huge variety of oaks, elms, and wetlands that provide habitat for a wide variety of bird species. Holes 4-6 on Blackhorse Golf Club's North Course generally get the best of high handicappers. Holes 4 and 5 route through massive trees and expansive wetlands, both playing over 400 yards. No. 6 is the North Course's signature: a 180-yarder that tees over the bend of the creek to an elevated green enhanced with railroad ties and framed by bunkers.

BlackHorse North

Great round at BlackHorse North. Fairways and greens were in excellent shape, especially considering the recent rainfall The layout keeps you on your toes with a nice mix of doglegs and straightaways, and the wetlands/oak tree setting makes it feel secluded even though it's close to Houston. Friendly staff, good pace of play. Not the cheapest, but worth it. Will be back soon.

Extremely Overpriced

I’m new to the area and had several people tell me not to play BlackHorse because the price doesn’t match the conditions. I went anyway to see for myself—and they were right.

The layout is good, and most of the staff was friendly. But that’s where the positives end. The starter had a poor attitude (almost like he was annoyed I paid $170 to play), and the course conditions were disappointing.

Most of the course was yellow and looked poorly maintained, like it hadn’t been mowed properly. The greens were decent, but even they had noticeable mower marks.

Bottom line: this is nowhere near a $170 course. It plays like a $50 course at best.

Slow and Hot

We played a brutal 5 hour round in the heat. We waited on virtually every hole. Marshalls didnt appear to make any effort to speed it up. The course is not in good enough condition to justify the price even without the pace issues. On top of that most holes had random sections that were blocked off by the GPS in the cart and forced us to reverse out of the area even though we were in the fairway and it was not CPO. Overall not even close to worth the price.

A good day

Played Black Horse North many times. Course was in great condition. No delays and a nice sunny but windy day for a game. I played my usual bogey golf but hit enough good shots to bring me back next time.

Not a fan of limiters on the carts telling and controlling my movements.

Overall a great day and good value for money.

Blackhorse Golf Club

I played the South course. Very nice layout, course was in very good condition. Some areas around bunkers had been freshly sodded. Greens rolled true for the most part. I only has one green where the ball bounced any.

Had a Blackhourse burger after and a couple drinks. Butger was excelent. All staff in Club house, bar and the marshals are excelent, very nice and helpful.

Pretty Good

Not as upscale as I thought it would be. The carts were a little rough, there were no towels, and no one was outside helping with bags, carts, directions. I kept asking regulars for info.

The course would have been much more fun to play if it hadn't rained several inches the day before. Lots of large areas of casual water,

This course has poor quality fairways.

The pace was terrible. Most holes required you to keep the cart on the cart paths, so the golfers had to run back and forth across the course, which caused a very slow pace. The fairways were dry in most places, so there was no need for all of the holes to be restricted. There are several other courses in the Houston area with better conditions and less expensive.

Cart Path Only???

Most of the course was cart path only and the dang carts would shut off if you got 5 feet off the cart path. Did a tremendous amount of walking which slowed play down tremendously.
