About
Architect Roy Case created both courses on this new 36-hole, daily-fee facility that is located only 10 minutes from downtown Houston. In addition to the views of the skyline, Case had at his disposal a touch of Hill Country terrain with dramatic elevation changes, as well as the typical Houston- area prairie lands. From this he was able to carve the links-style Highlands Course and the more traditional Lakes Course.
As its name implies, the Lakes Course, which tips out at a par 72 7,016 yards, is loaded with water. The best hole is the 539-yard No. 7, which is listed as the number one handicap. Interestingly, the four easiest holes are the par 3s, which range from 165 to 218 yards.

Masters Sunday
Greens were extremely slow
Fairways need more grass
Fun Challenge
I would not bring the Pro-V 1s for this round. Many challenging carries, elevation changes, and out of the ordinary challenges for a Houston Course. Well kept, and pace of play has never really been an issue for us. At times the water can get a bit overwhelming, especially if you are having a day where your hips are a little quick. I played with a friend who is probably a +16 handicap, and he was having a round day, not terrible, just rough, and he lost 3 sleeves..
But, if you are hot this course is fun. I suggest playing from the tips because of the carry's and complete experience it provides. The first par-5 is actually an amazing hole. Huge tiered fairway that allows you to try and carry a creek if you are 275+ off the tee box and can carry 190 with your irons. #18 is an absurd hole, whatever it's rating is, is not high enough. Blind off the tee, blind down to the hole.
The course is very nice, but it is also what you would expect for the price.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Wildcat Golf Club - The Lakes.

Friendly staff and rangers
Played the lakes. Course was very windy when I played, still had a blast with 3 buddies. Greens were deceptive. Great staff and good pro shop. I am looking forward to coming back and try out the food at the Vista Grill.

Nice Course, Feels like it's missing something
I played Blackhorse North this past weekend 1/23, booking a last minute tee time as a single. I've played the South Course before, and was aware of the high bar that it set for the course. I will say this wholeheartedly, the green fee is not worth the golf course. $120 for a Saturday morning with spotty fairways, slow greens, and stacked tee times just isn't worth it in my opinion. Pace of play was surprisingly good, finishing in 4 hours 10 minutes in a foursome with 4 carts. I'll go to High Meadow Ranch or Cypresswood Traditions before going back to Blackhorse.

Thank you for the feedback. The course is progressing after the freeze, and we are doing everything we can to get it back to where our customers expect. Once we have some consistent grass growing weather, we will fill in to enable lush fairways and speedy greens. Hope to see you again at the course in the future. Thanks.
