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.

Play with a discount

The layout on the south course is better than the north. Fairways in good shape after the rains. Would play here more often but they think too much of the course. The rates are ridiculous. Unless you find a hot deal, there are better options around town. Pace is slow too.

Great layout

Really enjoyed our round! Great layout and reasonable difficulty for your “average Joe” only thing I didn’t like was the Marshall stopping us in the middle of a hole to check our receipts , I wish he would’ve just waited at the next tee box but nothing major outside of that! Great course and will be back

Great time, pace a little slow

I had a very nice time playing Blackhorse north course today. The front nine, pace was perfect.

The 10th hole started the backup but overall well worth the fees. Will definitely play again!

Pricing themselves out of play

I use to play out here quite often. Unfortunately they are pricing themselves out of play. However with all the tournaments they book they might not care. Played for free since my buddy picked up the green fees as a birthday gift. The South course is the better or the two and more scenic. The North course is great on the front nine but the back is wide open and very boring. They are not an $85-$100 a round course, especially with as much as it floods and the pace of play. Too bad since they use to offer an acceptable rate but if you can find a steal on Golf Now check them out.

Blackhorse

I wish the cost of Blackhorse fell within my golf budget, but usualy $100 is out of my range. Nice course, the south is a bit more scenic where as the north has some links style to it

Great experience

I was supposed to play the North Course at 8:50. Arrived 30 minutes early to find out upon check-in that I had actually booked a tee time at 11:30. Mike checked us in and immediately tried his best to assist us. After looking at options, he sent us out to the South Course right then so that we could get started in front of a tournament that was to start at 9:00. I was so appreciative of his efforts to help me out after I’d made the mistake on the time. Great customer service!! The course was challenging, fun and in great shape. Will play there again and definitely recommend it to others.

What a cluster.....

Should have known something was up when I drove up and there were teenage golfers all over both courses. When i checked in - they told me I could start anytime that the tournament should be over soon. I was scheduled to play the South course but after waiting 30 min after my tee time, I went over to the North course. There were many golfers waiting as well. Finally someone from the pro shop came over and got everyone lined out but it was painfully slow - especially since it was a Monday. There was never any mention of a golf tournament either until I showed up at the course. I'll wait until after 'kiddy' golf season is over before going back again. Very disappointed......

The North Course

I always try to play and suggest the North Course. The South Course is always a “hit or miss” with conditions. Other than that, Blackhorse will be recommended.

Windy Day at BlackHorse

A lot of good things, my review observation would be if I was paying full price - the course is over priced and many areas of the course need ground work.

Blackhourse

I played the north side today. The course is finally off cart paths except for 3 holes. The course is very wet from all the rain we have had in Houston. The course needs a lot of dry out time. But other than that, the course is in good shape.

Played in a tournament so pace of play was slower then usual. North course is nice but not as challenging as the South. Front nice is the better and more scenic of the two. Course was in good shape but they are starting to price themselves out play for the average golfer. Need to rethink their green fees.
