BlackHorse Golf Club - North Course
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.

Good Day
Excellent conditions for the time of year. New white sand in the traps adds to the course appearance and very playable. Green are fast and smooth. Maybe too fast for some of the pin placements, but in all a good day on a good course.
Good layout & design
Great day on Blackhorse North!!
Course in good shape & bunkers are back in good condition after flooding in May. One of best public courses in Houston area!!
Best around Cypress
Course in great condition,greens are good.My favorite
course in Cypress.
Hey "monching" thank you so much for the kind words about the course! We look forward to having you back again soon.
Good quick round
I have played this course, Blackhorse North a number of times. It is a very good layout with memorable holes. Green were in good shape and putted smoothly.
Sand trap;s have been worked on and the white sand was plenty and deep. Fairways were in decent shape with signs of repair from the floods. Course should be in awesome shape come next spring if no more floods. At 49 bucks at 1:00 in the afternoon on a Saturday you could not beat it. Played with my two brothers and a single that joined us. Play was just a hair over 4 hours but if we could have hit more fairways we could have played in less. Rough was thick but not so bad you could not play a shot. Overall a great afternoon.
Hey "ABlindMan" thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We are glad that you and your brothers had a great time out on the course and we hope to see you guys again soon!
Love playing this course
I never miss an opportunity to play this course. It's always in great condition, and the greens are some of my favorites in the Houston area.
Hey "Gdozier77" thank you so much for the kind words about the course! We hope you can get out and play again soon!
Great course!
What a beautiful day on a great golf course! Enjoyed playing the courselves and looking forward to playing it again soon!
Hey "Iconic" thank you for the 5* review. We hope to see you again soon!
Course in great shape
Greens a little slower than usual probably due to all the rain. But they were smooth and both courses were in great shape overall!
Hey "fredsocco' thank you so much for the 5 star review! We are glad you were happy with both of the course's conditions and we hope to see you again soon!
Black Horse (Tough Horse to ride)
Having played golf all around the world a lot, I must say that this is one of those golf courses that has the appeal of what Golf is all about. Lush fairways, maintenance personnel keeping the course in great condition, great range and practice facilities. Today was my first time playing this very challenging course but I will definitively be there again shortly.
Do not take the challenge of this course lightly, this is a course that a beginner may not enjoy much due to its difficulty. Now if you a mid to low handicap get ready for a good test of your golf skills.
Challenge the Black Horse!
Hey "lcamejo" thank you so much for the positive review. We are glad that you really enjoyed the challenge! Thank you again for all the kind words about the course and we hope to see you again soon!
Rough was too high
Blackhorse North is a fine golf course and I have played it many times in the past. This was my first time in 2016 and it was disappointing. Most important was the rough - it was very high. It made finding the balls very difficult and slowed the pace down considerably. In addition, all bunkers were GUR so the course didn't play as intended. The high rough was more than punishing (even for a single digit handicapper), and it should have been mowed.
Great complement to South Course
Really, playing the two courses at Blackhorse makes for a great weekend, and the North Course is different enough from the South Course to provide a completely different experience. In fact, both nines on the North have a personality all their own, with the front, perhaps, the most interesting of the two sides. With a couple of holes that work their way around a dominant water feature and one of the toughest par 3s you'll ever play, surviving the front is the key to posting a good score. Course ends with a terrific risk-reward par 5 over around a lake that finishes behind the clubhouse.
Hey "MikeBaileyGA" we really appreciate you coming out and playing as well as leaving your feedback! We appreciate the kind words and hope you enjoyed both courses. We would love to have you back out here soon!
Good layout, bunkers still under repair after Spring Floods
Bunkers still under massive re-build. Greens smooth but a bit on slow side. Great value for the price we paid. Should notify folks before booking that bunkers are all under repair.
Hi "sanderro" thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, we appreciate you coming out and hope to see you again soon.
Best Course in the Area
This Golf course is in great shape. I recently relocated from Orlando, FL and was skeptical of the golf course conditions coming from a huge resort golf city. This golf course had phenomenal Green Speed and Conidtions with lush fairways and tee boxes. Overall the golf course is in great shape. The only short time downside is the bunkers are GUR until refinished after the floods they had here. The best part of this golf course is the staff! From the person that checked me in, to the starter, to the staff at the bar everyone is extremely customer service oriented and friendly. This will be my go to course in the area!
Hello "bhpatel" thank you so much for the 5* review. We are happy to hear that you were happy with the course conditions and our staff! We look forward to having you back out here soon.
Favorite course
Sand traps are still under repair, and would like more distance markers on the course. Overall a terrific place.
Hey "Earl8502015" we appreciate you coming out to play and hope to see you again soon!
BlackHorse - North
Great course layout and greens in fantastic condition. Sadly (or thankfully) all bunkers/sand-traps are GUR because the course was completely flooded out in May/June. Only the bunkers show the damage so well done green staff to recover all other elements of the course. As such at $95pp it's pricey.
Look forward to play again when fully recovered.
Hey "GraemeFC" thank you so much for the positive review. We appreciate the kind words about the course and our staff. We will see you soon!
Fun track
Greens roll great fun layout good shape
Hello "rd19a19" thank you for the kind words! Come see us again soon.
Great experience!
What an enjoyable round! Wasn't sure what to expect given the recent flooding but it was obvious this is a course that excels when times are tough. This course was immaculate to say the least. Greens were perfect; fairways as well. Although it was not crowded, there was a beverage cart still making rounds. Some courses will cut this position out of their budget to save money on slower days. I commend black horse for providing the same experience no matter what day it is.
Couldn't agree more!! I played on July 4th and was blown away. Spot on review !!
Real golf course
A real challenge, long and tough but extremely fair, greens perfect and fast, fairways wide and fair, no need to roll just hit it as it lies, always a great day at this course, never a wait. Will be back again and again.
Hey "u000005290755" thanks for the five star review! We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed our course conditions. We look forward to seeing you back again soon for your next round.
Blackhorse North after Raining month
Course was in general in good condition except for traps which were damaged by devastating rains in Texas. Great course to play even in present condition. Conditions will improve when traps are repairs in July/ August and grass improves in flooded areas. Pace of play was very good.
Hey "bucksm" thanks for the review! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your round. We hope to see you back again soon for your next round.
Too crowded especially for the price
The course wasn't too difficult, the range and chipping/putting greens were nice however $8 for a small bucket of balls was steep. I was expecting free range balls at a course that considered itself to be nice however that was not the case. The conditions were sub par but that could be attributed to the recent flooding. Additionally it was way too crowded for my liking, if it were a nice weekend afternoon I would expect it to be packed but a Thursday at noon? Each hole had 2-3 pairings on it and it was way too overcrowded. Staff was very friendly however I will not be coming back due to the overcrowding problem.
Dear "u000004364472,"
We are so sorry to hear that your experience with us did not meet your expectations. We apologize for the crowds and any inconvenience they may have caused you. We would like to make this right with you. If you would like to further discuss your situation, please send us an email at blackhorsegolftexas@gmail.com. Thank you.
Great course, one of my favourite
Had a tee time at 11:20 but showed up early since something showed in agenda earlier than expected. Not much guys on the course, marshall accepted I could start about 90 min earlier. Course still in great shape despite recent downpours. Only bunkers were unplayable. I love the place, nice range, always very friendly staff. Played there 4 times but would definitely recommend it.
Hey "Corentin8847530" we are happy to hear that you were able to get out on the course early and get your 18 in! We appreciate the kind words about our staff and facility. And only 4 times? We need to get that into double digets at least!
