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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
