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.

A lot of money but not worth it…..

We were fortunate that we managed to get a Golf Now deal for the North Course which is normally well over $100 at weekends. While we were relatively happy on a value for money basis paying under half of the normal green fee, that is where happiness stopped. The course looked like it could do with some water as many parts of the course were burned up and some areas even lacked grass. The layout of the north course is average but the 5 holes across the road certainly add to the overall experience and are probably the best on the course. While we enjoyed it, albeit very slow, it’s not worth the full green fee in its current condition.

Fantastic course

The course in general is in great shape. Fairways are fantastic, green are fast, the only issue that we had was that one of the golf carts run out of juice after hole 15

Crooks

Booked a tee time. Golf Now charged me $6. Was not able to make the tee time. Have had this happen in the past at other courses without issue.

However, this time, this course, days later, charges me $184 for a round we never played on a day when there were tons of tee times available.

Will not do business with Black Horse in the future and will delete my Golf Now app, an app I had used for years until, without warning, they turn into crooks.

"Worst bunkers in Houston Region"

That's a quote for a USGA official and if you play you will agree.

You cannot play the bunkers, don't try. carpet sticks out everywhere and basically no sand.

Ruff is extremely long and easy to lose ball if it goes in.

Do not spend $100+ ($140+ on weekends) on these courses. Try something good.

Maybe someday the owners will make a change and fix this.

North Course

Played North Course 5 days after a hurricane and raining almost everyday.

Course was in surprisingly great shape! Cart path only as it had just poured for over an hour.

Course drained well. Sand traps were trashed but that is to be expected.

Staff was friendly and professional. Cart was clean with GPS.

Practice facilities were great!

Want to play again on a dry day.

Solid Track

Played both the North and South quite a bit, Back 9 on North, and Front 9 on South is best combo, but good luck working that out, as this course stays busy. Got lucky with a $30 hot deal at 6p. Greens were pretty slow, and looks like they needed another setting down on the mower. Great place, and overall condition.

Quick Mid-Week Round

We played the North Course after a surprise storm hit in the afternoon and a lot of the other courses in town closed. Luckily Blackhorse stayed open and although it was cart path only we finished in under four hours. I guess it was only true sickos trying to play that evening. I wouldn't recommend walking to anyone else (I knew the layout but still gave it a shot since it was CPO) but in general it's a fun track. I also think the GPS in the carts was fairly new. I don't remember seeing that before although I could be mistaken. Blackhorse is not part of my regular rotation mostly because of the cost but I like both courses and I'll definitely be back at some point.

No communicstion

The course was closed and I was given no notification. I drive almost an hour to okay here only to arrive to a course that was closed. Even worse, I cancelled my

Other tee time in order to play here. I’d then lost my time at the other course. Extremely frustrating.

you should probably check to see if the course you're playing got hit by a tornado next time!

The greens were terrible. Some were patchy and Al were slow. Slowest in the area. Not worth paying $135.

Overpriced

Extremely expensive course for little value. Course is nice but if I’m paying $120-150 it is definitely not worth that amount.

Beers are $5 each, range balls are $10 for a small bucket.

Very disappointing

Greens are in terrible shape. Dry spots and poa annua everywhere. Hopefully most of the poa annua will burn off as summer approaches. The fairways were in decent shape. I recommend playing elsewhere until they fix their greens problem.
