BlackHorse Golf Club - North Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Excellent course!
The course is in excellent shape. Very challenging. This would be very tough for a beginner.
Rain
Rain before play and still 90 degree. Course in best shape ever!!! Perfect day of golf especially with the GN hot deal.
Challenging course, never pushed by players behind us, wish my score was a little better.
Great course
Both the north and south courses are great. It’s a good test of your game for sure. The back 9 of the south course is one of the best in houston.

Excellent player's course
A course with a few challenges without being overly difficult. Positioning is key to lower scoring. North Course is less challenging than the South Course. Great practice areas, with putting areas next to the 1st tees on both courses.
Best Public Course in Houston
It’s by the far the best public course in Houston. The cover photo with the foot bridge over the water on South Course isn’t a bait and switch. The whole course is maintained to nearly a private club level.
The catch?
It’s the nicest public course in Houston by a wide margin and you’ll pay premium for it (approximately $110 per round). It’d be 10-15% cheaper on per round basis to get a club Corp membership and play a variety of private clubs.
Good time swith friend
We had a blast even that I lost few dollars.
Great course cold water everywhere
Great shape for hot summer conditions
Played mid-day round today under hot Texas sun but had a great time. Found course in great shape plus the pace of play was quick, less than four hours. Friendly staff gave water at start and refreshment carts making timely rounds kept us hydrated. Much appreciated!! Blackhorse Golf Club remains a great golfing choice just as I remember 15 years ago when I played the course last. Bill G
Best deal for the money
The North course was in great condition, they have let the rough grow up a little so you were penalized when missing the fairways. Greens were exceptional for late July.
Just great!
Greens were in great condition, best I’ve played this year!
Second time playing North course, I’ll have to play the South soon.
Pro shop staff were great.
Nice beer selection on beer cart and great quesadillas in the bar!
Top Tier
Probably the best course in the Houston area except maybe Redstone (forgot the new name) which I have not played due to the price.
Srill one of the best
Only thing that kept me from giving a 5 star is the rough. Really needs to be cut, if you're a few feet off the fairway, iys very hard to find it. All said its still one of my favorite and would recommend to all skill levels.
North Course after aeration not a good idea
Since it was my first time playing Blackhorse I chose the north course which the greens had just been aerated and sanded thinking that fewer players would be on it. I was right but time is wasted on the rough greens. However I was impressed with the beauty of the course. I am looking forward to playing the south course. Note there are no restrooms on the north course.
