Type Public
Par 72
Length 7301 yards
Slope 135
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.

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.

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

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

Great Course! Excellent Condition! Fast Round!

I had a few hours to kill between appointments and checked out the golfnow ap. I was in Cypress and found a 'hot deal' for $30 with 11:20 tee time at Blackhorse. Played 15 holes in 1 hour - 45 minutes! Had to blow by a few foursomes so didn't get to play all 18 but really enjoyed the solitude. Haven't played solo for years and found it relaxing and fun. Challenging course that is in great shape so hope to return for another round in near future. Probably wouldn't have played there if paying full price but golfnow deal was a steal!

Played with grandson

Got a great deal on golf now and took my grandson to play golf. The course was in great shape and we played at a good pace. Greens rolled great and consistent. Nice to play a course where if you hit a bunker you actually had good sand to hit from. Course was a good challenge for all skill levels. The facilities were top notch. Got added bonus with demo days and got to try some great clubs.

Buckeye alum

All in all an excellent experience. Although as I dropped off my cart at the end of the round, I turned in a head cover I found during the round. Someone from the clubhouse, management I assume based on dress, happened to be in the area and reached out to take possession of the item. I didn't get as much as a grunt let alone a thank you from him. Everyone makes a difference with respect to the experience.
