BlackHorse Golf Club - South Course
About
The South Course at BlackHorse is known for the sand quarry that was ingeniously worked into the layout by the design team. Particularly on the back side, the wetlands and sand features come into play prominently and create a totally unique setting for golf.
Getting there : Take Hwy. 290 west to the Spring Cypress exit. Go south (left) under Hwy. 290 to Old Hempstead Hwy. Turn right and drive .5 mile. Turn left on House & Hahl Rd. Then left on Mound Rd. and right on Fry Rd. The entrance is on the right.

Condition of course is very nice!
Went the enature round with no delays. Greens are in very good shape and overall course was great as well. Very enjoyable round!
Moderately difficult course, well maintained, and at a bargain price!
Managed to secure a Hot Deal for the South Course at Blackhorse for $30, and decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed. Arrived later than planned so couldn't use the facilities before teeing off, but the driving range and short game area looked modern and comprehensive. As I was a single player, I was paired with two other gentlemen. The pace of play was average, with one member of our group playing very slowly, and the fourball in front taking their time too (N.B. I am a very quick player and like to complete rounds in around or under 3 hours when possible). The greens were in very good condition; quick with consistent roll, but still soft and responsive to approach shots. The only part of the course that was disappointing was the standard of the tees, with lots of moss making it difficult at times to find a clear spot to tee up. All in all a good experience on a reasonably challenging course, and one I would definitely play again.
Hey "ElliotBusby" thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review. We are glad to see that you were very happy with the condition of the greens. We appreciate you coming out and hope to see you again soon.
Beautiful Golf Course!
We have played the course on several occasions while in Houston, TX visiting our family. It is a beautiful course and is well manicured. The Staff is great.
Hey "u000005225733" thank you for the 5* review! We are glad that you enjoyed the course as well as our staff and we hope to see you again soon.
Fun
Tuff but fair layout...lots of trees .... Plenty of water and sand in all the places you tend to hit your shots
I really enjoyed the south course
Hey "jimmyv9635"we are glad to hear that you found the course challenging but fair. Thank you so much for the 5* review and we look forward to having you back out here soon.

81 and sunny
Course is in great condition... Always!
Awesome! Thanks so much for the 5 star review - we're so happy to hear you've enjoyed the course multiple times!
Fun Round
Nice course, there had been a bunch of rain recently so some places were pretty saturated with water, a few holes were cart path only. Also, this was in the beginning of Jan so it was a bit chilly. None of these could be controlled by the staff. I'm looking forward to playing it during the warmer months to compare. The back 9 on the South course has some very nice holes as it was once a quarry.
Thank you so much for coming out and braving the chilly January weather! We hope you get the chance to return in the warmer months. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Average course, poor staff attitude
I played at Blackhorse South on 1/4, hole 16 has a fantastic view but the rest are average, fee was pricey considering course condition and view. Staff at the pro shop could have been more polite and helpful.
Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent round at BlackHorse. We are sorry to hear you felt the staff could have been more polite and helpful. We will address this.
Thanks again!
South Course @ Black Horse
I would actually give this course a 4.5 star rating.
The greens are in great shape, not too fast.
Keep yiur your drives in the fairway and you should have some good approach shots as the fairways are also in good condition.
The bridge at 17th hole is currently under water, but not biggie, just go around.
Overall, a good experience and i do recommend this course to others.
Thank you for the feedback and tips. We truly value what our golfers have to say. We appreciate you recommending BlackHorse to other golfers as well!
Championship golf in Cypress Texasc
I had been looking forward to playing Blackhorse for some time and it exceeded my expectations and more!! WOW!! What a fantastic course, facilities and staff. I played the south side on a wonderful weather day . I was greeted by friendly staff in pro shop. I was early so I had a yummy breakfast sandwich and headed to range. Big nice range with a putting green, practice bunker and chipping green. As I was getting ready to play I was met by Pete the starter who tipped me to club up into greens as they are set up from fairways. I drove over the bridge and was blown away with the course. Not a typical Texas course with tree lined fairways and beautiful sight lines The course really got started with #5 a long par five slight dogleg right around the lake. Back nine ranks up with any I ever played !! # 13 starts a stretch of holes that very memorable . This course has everything I look for in a great course and more. Play Blackhorse!! I got a cheaper deal on GN but would play here again at full price. Don't miss this Texas gem!!
Awesome, thank you for the feedback from your recent round at BlackHorse Golf Club! We appreciate hearing what our golfers have to say. We hope to see you out on the course again soon.
Challenging but fun!
The south course is more difficult than the north but it was very well maintained, beautiful and worth every lost ball!
Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent round with us! We are happy to hear you had a challenging but fun time! Come see us again soon.
excellent course
Played the South. Facilities have a definite private club feel - lot's of members it appears.
Finishing holes around the quarry on the back nine are really beautiful and fun.
Would definitely play there again.
From what I understand, the front 9 on the North, plus the back 9 on the South are the ultimate round there.
Thank you for the excellent review! We appreciate the feedback from our golfers. We are glad to hear you will definitely play BlackHorse again!
Great & challenging course
First off, I give 5 stars for Value For The Money because I got a deal on GolfNow and then had a promo code on top of that.
The course was in good condition and was pretty challenging. Most of the challenge came from narrow fairways, but well placed bunkers had me using my sand wedge more often than I would want.
I gave Pace of Play a poor score because the foursome in front of me were all pretty bad golfers. Someone was entertaining clients - the marshall tried asking if we could play through but the group was unwilling to do so.
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize about the pace of play but we are happy to hear you enjoyed our course conditions!
Etiquette on a home course.
My friend and I are your average golfer 9- 10 handicap.
We were just a twosome hitting from the blues and another twosome behind us hitting from the senior tees.
When we started we had nobody behind us at 08:20 tee time. But as the second hole came up we had caught up to a foursome. we played at our pace and caught up on the fourth hole. But on the 3rd hole while waiting, the seniors caught up to us while we were waiting for the foursome on the green to putt out so we could hit to the green. The twosome hitting from the senior tees, they tee off and their ball pass our cart we are sitting in we are like WTF??? I am pretty sure they are regulars there at Black Horse. But NO SORRY or anything when we passed or they were close. Etiquette is a very big part of golf. As we finished the 3rd hole the foursome tee off and said we could teeoff and move along. That was great to get away from the twosome behind us with no etiquette.
The members there at that club need to learn etiquette and to honor it. If your retired and playing then what is the rush???
But over all beside this disappointment, I would recommend this course. SOUTH.
Course in good shape
Course was in good all around shape.Only complaint was that by midway through the front nine, we ran into a group of 2-3 foursomes that were part of a wedding party and they were clogging the course and not being marshalled. There was a 2-3 hole gap in front of them.
When we got to 13, we were the third group waiting on the tee, so we skipped over to 17 and 18, right ahead of the lead group of the party, played those two and then came back and finished 13-16 with no waiting. Ended up finishing in 3:45 as a twosome.
Hope you have a range finder
Overall nice course. Holes have character and challenges on most every shot. Big complaint is lack of yardage markings. Very few sprinkler heads have yardages and they are few and far between, no yardage sticks along fairway, only plaques at 100, 150, and 200 out in fairway. If you hit every shot down the fair way it wouldn't be so bad but most of us don't play at that level. Worth playing for $25 don't know that I'd pay much more to play Blackhorse South.
Great Course to Play
First time on this course and it was very fun. Great condition and not too difficult. Paired up with 3 other players that made it fun and the weather was excellent.
Get a mower
Great rate because the greens were punched. It appeared most of the course other than fairways had been mowed. Ragged tee boxes. Rough needs to be trimmed so that players can find there ball.
