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

Played Blackhorse North on a Tuesday on a Hot Deal. The course was in very good condition but greens had been punched about 8-10 days ago. The greens were smooth but a little slow for my taste, which rendered the 4 stars. The carts were clean and sanitized and the pro shop was set up for physical distancing, Cart girl was visible several times on a hot day (index - 105 degrees).

Keep up the hard work guys. thanks!

Nice course. Slow play

The course was in good shape with the exception of the bunkers. Pace of play is an issue and we never saw a marshal on the course to help. The price for the course seems a little high.

conditions were very good...

While I've played the South course several times before, this was the first time out on the North.

The overall conditions on the course were good.

The grass was very good everywhere. The greens were receptive, well groomed and rolled nicely.

The loss of a star comes from the bunkers being absolutely atrocious. Totally untouched for quite some time, not maintained by grounds keeping,

and unraked (even though rakes were present) with many washed out. COVID-19 not withstanding, they should have been better than this, especially at the price point of the greens fee.

Pace of play was very good. But, the group in front of us consisted of two golfers, with two non-golfer cart riders. On the twelfth hole, the two women riders decided that they should start hacking it around and caused significant delays in play. They were obviously not golfers, swinging and missing, dribbling or skulling the ball on most contact, leaving the cart parked in the middle of the fairway in the approach area of the green while chasing the ball around....etc...

No clubs, not properly dressed, and very unlikely to have paid greens fees?

While this is a problem no matter what, it wouldn't have been an issue for us if they had kept the pace of play and stayed in contact with the group in front of them. But, by the time we had reached 18 there were just under three holes between them and the group in front. It was just ridiculous, especially at a golf club at this level.

The only other issue was lack of mask wearing in the clubhouse, customers, not staff.

Great course

The course was in great condition. It definitely provides a challenge and punished bad shots. I loved the challenge of it. The staff was super friendly. I will be back to shoot lower next time.

Overall course in good shape, but bunkers unplayable

Pace of play was great; about 4 hours. Greens, fairways and tee boxes are in good shape. The bunkers are unplayable, They have have very little sand, and what is available is hard packed. At this price I expect better, and can pay less for better conditions in this area. Will not return until things improve.
