BlackHorse Golf Club - North Course

Enjoyed my round. Above average but not great. Mostly nice greens, very nice sand traps, and very good fairways. The course is rather straight fairly long. Pay attention to the signs on the cart path. You can get lost quick on the North course.

For $100 the course should be in much better condition. Lots of bald spots and weeds. Weeds in the greens. It is April and this course has a reputation that has been lost. This course should be pristine right now. But it appears they stop spending money on it.

The greens are not prime yet but very close to summer conditions. The areas around the green were being fertilized. Over all course was in excellent condition. The pace of play was unusually slow. But maybe I just play quickly. Just seemed to be large groups in no hurry.

This is must play course if you're in Houston area. Especially if you got a great deal from Golfnow haha

Post a layout of the hole near the tee box. As a first time players we were often confused.

Black horse has two 18 hole course, also has the best practice facility's around. I played the north course. The fairways where in really good conditions and the greens where rolling really nice. I played this same course about a month ago and shot a 110. This time around i shot a 87. Love this golf course.

We started on the north course. I liked the fact that off the tee you could see trouble on one side of the fairway . So players can play away from trouble. Greens were very good. Fairways were just " ok" --which was to be expected due to the harsh winter.

Lunch was delicious. I had the brisket sandwich on sweet bread.

Went out and played the south course after lunch. Challenging track---especially off the tee. You must hit the ball straight off the tee at the south course.

Blackhorse is a great daily fee facility. It has 36 holes, the North Course is a bit less challenging but it is all the golf course most golfers can handle. The greens are in excellent shape, the rough is starting to come in and the fairways were very nice. The only condition issue was the tee boxes - they haven't been mown in a while, likely to ensure that they grow in well.

Greens were just fair condition. Over course for this time if year was okay. Not too crowded, but pace slowed a tad on 2nd 9. Friendly staff and nice facilities.

The course layout is very nice. The bunkers ...for me ....were way to soft, like a very soft sandy beach. not really groomed but just lots of sand poured into them. Very tough to get out of the bunkers and lots of them.

The front nine of the North course have many interesting and challenging holes. The sand is very soft and good to play from. The greens are in good shape with many subtle breaks.
The back nine does not have the same interesting or challenging layout. Water only comes into play on the 18th.
I was expecting more of a challenge throughout the course.
The price is expensive and the value is not quite there for me. There are courses nearby with more challenging layouts.

The course is in great shape and the staff is very friendly.

Had a great time. This was my first time there my game wasnt good enough for the course but even with as bad as I play the course was very forgiving.

It's been a few years since I played at BlackHorse and it wasn't quite what I remembered but it was a nice change of scenery and worth the drive. The staff were really friendly and the girls in grill were sweet and easy on the eyes. The coarse was definitely challenging as I remembered and the greens were just the right speed though there were a couple that needed some weed prevention. Other than that I enjoyed my morning there and enjoyed my lunch after my round. I would definitely recommend this coarse to any one that can appreciate a challenging coarse with scenic views.

The course was in ok condition, but is to be expected this time of year. Quite a few of the greens had weeds growing on them, which grounds crew were taking care of. Because of the weeds, the greens were very bumpy. The pro shop staff was very curtious, but it was a little different to have a five some allowed on the course. The only person resembling a Marshall was the starter at the range. I was stuck behind a five some since my approach on the 4th hole, and saw me as a single numerous times and NEVER let me play thru. No Marshall ever drove around the course, and upon calling in on them, nothing was done. This was beyond rediculous, and even though this course is just around the corner from my home, this experience has turned me off of returning.

I enjoyed playing this course especially the risk-reward challenges that come up towards the end of the back 9! I'll let you see for yourself.

Nicely watered fairways with good grass coverage. Nicely roughed but not unplayable at all. Greens are a little bumpy but it was November. Difficult fluffy sand in bunkers. Very nice experience except for a little slow on play.

This course needs some upkeep. Tee box grass was chewed up. Fairways had multiple brown spots and the greens had a disease.

Played the North Course, front 9 is really tight fairways on most of the holes, it opens up more on the back 9. Overall pretty challenging course but does reward accurate tee shot...

I had wanted to play Blackhorse for a while. I have heard good things about it. Thanks to golfnow I could play for a reasonable green fee that afternoon. normally I wouldn't pay the normal green fee rate. The course was in great shape, good grass all over the course and good greens. I enjoyed it very much and want to come back and play more often. The practice facilty was really nice.
