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.

One of the best in the Houston area
Played the North course for the first time. Course is still recovering from the flooding that occurred less then 2 weeks ago. But it was still in great shape, the greens were very plush but a little slow for their standards and would grab a pitch shot very quickly. I figured they will graudually speed them up as the course recovers. A few of the traps were still washed out, but a majority of them were perfect. You can tell they are working hard to get back to their high standards. I preferred the layout if the North course over the much more hyped South course, great track that isnt overly penal but will defintely challenge a good player. High recommend to play.
Blackhorse South - very challenging
Blackhorse south - nice layout, overall good condition for the time of the year. Staff very friendly. The south course is very demanding - fairly tight - most holes tree-lined with narrow fairways. Very firm fairways so course plays shorter than yardage indicated. Plenty of bunkers - overall, very challenging. A bit pricey - but a overall a good course worth playing.
Hey "jayjud" thank you for the positive review and the kind words about our staff! We hope to see you back out here soon.
Enjoyable round
Good course, especially when one can get a "hot deal". Fairways were quite hard due to the dry weather. Green were also a bit hard, though the ball would stay up - fairly quick and true. The layout was a bit odd, zig-zagging around the practice area and back and forth across Fry Road - need to keep a keen eye on the signage.
Hey "mljohn305 " thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and provide us with some feedback.We hope to see you out here again soon!
Surprisingly good
First time I played North Course after having played the South a number of times. The fairways, bunkers and greens were all good. And the course plays out in front of you - what you see is what you get. I actually preferred it to the South because there are some holes there that don't make sense. I will play the North again.
Hey "tmmillertx" thank you so much for the feedback and we are glad that you enjoyed the layout of the course. Look forward to having you out here again soon!
Great course
The course please of play was great. The greens were at a good speed and the staff was great. I will definitely be back soon.
Hi "maymipr" We are so glad that you enjoyed your time out at BlackHorse! Thank you for the positive review and we will see you soon!
loved it
very challenging but fair. fairways were in the typical early spring condition, but coming along. the greens were exceptional. blackhorse is a class operation.
We are so happy to hear you enjoyed BlackHorse! Thank you for coming out to play and providing your feedback. We hope to see you back again very soon!
The south course
Played the South Course and can not wait to play it again. An absolute wonderful layout. Great value. Course is in good shape for this time of the year. Pace of play was good. Played thru a group on #2 and it was pretty much smooth sailing to the club house. Staff was friendly and helpful.
We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your day to BlackHorse! We can not wait for you to come back!
Tight Fairways
Keep it in the fairways and you can score .
Thank you for your 5 star rating! We're glad you enjoyed your round and look forward to seeing you back soon!
Fun Course
The front nine is much more difficult than the back -- more water on the front and much more narrow. The greens were in very good shape, but the fairway and rough were dry and burned out. The traps are big and often very deep. The sand is very uniform, but many of the players who get into the traps don't rake their footprints. Pace of play was fast, which we like. Overall, a challenging course that should be much more fun to play when not dried out. Expensive.
We appreciate your feedback and sorry to hear that the conditions may not have been up to par. We have informed our staff and crews on the matter and are working hard to rectify the situation and make this the best BlackHorse Golf Club possible for your next round. Glad you still had fun! Come back and see us again - we look forward to your next visit!
So so course
Nothing special here but a nice change of scenery for us
Thank you so much for coming to check us out. We hope you get a chance to come back so that you can play the other course and get the full BlackHorse experience. Thanks for the review!
course condition
it was sooooo windy but the course condition is still good as usual
We are thrilled that you found the course in good shape. There's not much we can do about the Texas wind! We hope to see you again soon.
Amazing
This course is great. Really well maintained and not too busy. Challenging holes but lots of easy tee shots. One of my favorite courses around the Houston area.
Very nice course
Very nice condition wise and layout. It's somewhat challenging with the placement of bunkers and doglegs. Very well designed course. The course is in great shape with lush fairways and greens were rolling very true with a great pace. The bar afterwards is a perfect place for a meal and a few beers.
However, it's probably not worth the regular price ($80-$100) but if you can find an online deal it's well worth it.
Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent experience at BlackHorse Golf Club! Please continue to check our website as our rates are constantly changing. Thanks again!

Best Public/Semi Public Course in Houston Area
Blackhorse Golf Club delivers a great experience time after time. Course is always in great condition with true greens. Along with the clubhouse staff and restaurant/bar staff they provide an excellent all around experience!
Thank you for the 5 star review! We are happy to hear you had an excellent all around experience. We hope to see you again soon!
Great With a Discount Coupon
Not worth (and most high dollar courses aren't) the normal prices asked -- weekday rate would be acceptable for weekend play -- otherwise, a coupon or special offer is required for me to consider this course
We are sorry to hear you feel that way. We hope you will come tee it up again soon and give BlackHorse another chance.
Nice course close to home
Nice courses...actually like the South course the best!
Thank you for the 5 star review! We are glad you enjoyed your round at BlackHorse Golf Club!
Excellent course
Great course - staff at pro shop and Jakes grill are excellent!!!
Awesome! Thank you for the positive review. Come see us again soon.
Best bunkers in the area
The bunkers are by far the best bunkers in the Houston area, fairways and greens were also really nice, pace of play during the first 9 holes was terrible due to a tournament back 9 were completely empty
Thank you for the review! We are pleased to hear you feel like BlackHorse has the best bunkers in the area. We hope to see you again soon!
Always a great round at Blackhorse!!
The course is in great shape and I always enjoy playing here!!
We are so happy to hear you always enjoy playing BlackHorse Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
