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.

North Course

Played the North course and it was in great shape. Pace of play is slow as it usually is.The front nine is more scenic and the back plays tough if the wind is up since it is fairly open. The South course is more challenging. Got a great deal on Golf Now and that is the only way to play.

Blackhorse North

Excellent. The staff were all wonderful. Course was well conditioned. Sand in most bunkers was actually too soft. Otherwise the course was in awesome shape. I know it was Master's Sunday and maybe it showed. We teed off in the middle of the afternoon and flew around the course undisturbed in 3 hours 15 minutes.

Good value @ $40

Played on a hot deal @ $40 and that's about right for this course. I'm not sure how they command $90 on the weekend. I mean the course is in good shape but it's not particularly interesting or challenging. The pace of play was terrible, they were sending out twosomes and singles on a Saturday! It was backed up. Overall a solid course for $40-50 but not $100

Great course and layout. $69.00 on Golfnow during the week I think is a little steep but it was in pristine condition. Greens where slower than normal.

Great course. Just a couple of personal issues.

Course is in great shape. A very well designed and challenging course. I would have rated this course even higher is I hadn't had a couple of issues. First, and most importantly, I walked the 15th hole. My cart started to run out of juice around 12 and I called the club house while on the number 12 green which is very close to the clubhouse. They said they would get a new cart right out. On number 15 it died for good. I called again, unloaded my cart and finished the hole walking. As a member of the cart crew arrived with my cart at the 15 green, he just stopped the cart and started walking back the the clubhouse. I asked if he wasn't notified the by the clubhouse earlier and he mumbled, "Oh yeah, we brought one out but the group behind you called with the same problem so they got the cart. Sorry 'bout that".
My only other issue with this course is the limited distance markers. A course of this caliber should have gps on the golf carts. It's 2015. I play much lesser courses that provide this and a course this difficult holding a price tag that it does, they should have this feature.

Great shape right now!

Condition and speed of the greens on both the North and the South courses are excellent. I look for this discount first before I consider another course in Cypress. My favorite by far!

Blackhorse North Course - Great Pace of Play

Pace of play was unmatched in my public course experience in Houston. We (3 ppl) played in about 4 hours and only had to wait a few times. It was not the best day (cloudy, cool) and early in the season so the course was not in prime condition, but considering the time of year it was very nice. I am excited about playing it in prime conditions. Overall, very good course - I would highly recommend.

Smooth, fast greens

Considering it is winter, the course is in very good condition, especially the greens. I played the North course. The front 9 has a interesting variety of holes. The back 9 is your typical Houston course, totally flat, quite a few lakes and trees along the outer part of the course. I will return.

Awesome Golf Course

For being early February, this course is VERY well maintained. The fairways were greener that many courses are during prime golf weather. Pretty challenging course overall. I am definitely coming back to play here as often as possible.

South Course

This was my first time and we played the Blue tees. However they had them set at the balck tee marks. We had some par 4's playing 430 and higher. Overall great course great layout and very challenging. Approach shots are forgiving however out the box it is not forgiving either trees water or bunkers so you have to be accurate out the box. Great course and will paly again.

north course

Considering the time of year the course was in good condition. The tee boxes were well kept however the greens although rolling well were very slow.the bunkers could also do with a little more send on the bottoms as they were thin and hard under the surface. But a good chaining course for the long hitters.
