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.

OK Condition, but Boring

Course is in good condition, but could be better. A few greens had some spots of poor growth (or even bare spots) and a couple of tee boxes were rather 'lumpy.' The fairways were generally in very good shape and the bunkers, that were normally very nice, had suffered from recent heavy rainfall. The staff, however, were VERY nice and accommodating.

Did have one issue: there was a lightening warning while we were playing. Not the courses fault, of course, but the geo-fence feature on the carts prevented short-cuts off the course forcing everyone to trek the long way 'round to shelter. That feature should be deactivated during emergencies to facilitate movement, IMHO.

Overall, a nice place, but certainly not worth $125 per round.

Nice course with beatiful trees all over

Although the scenary is pretty nice, with grown trees surrounding the fairways, the layout is plain and simple. Greens were somehow in good conditions, not the bunkers nor the tees, which I think need a little love.

Good course, has been better

The greens on hole 15,16 and 17 were patchy with grass and dirt. Saw the crew was working on them to try to recover them. Greens were a little slower than past times. Good track, don’t think it’s worth $100+.

Absolute Robbery

Had the chance to play the course for the first time as a visitor from the northeast. I thought the price was a little steep ($150/person), but it was a Saturday morning so I sucked it up. Having played the course now, I wouldn’t have paid half that. The pro shop, bar, range and snack shop are clearly where all the money goes. The course was in horrendous shape. Every single bunker on the course was washed out to the point that they were unplayable. My understanding is a storm rolled through a few days prior, but you would think a place like that could handle some rain better. Is it unplayable after every storm? And further, couldn’t they have mentioned that before I spent $150 to play? As if that wasn’t bad enough, the tee boxes were mangy and not well kept, and as we got to the last few holes the greens were entirely burnt out. In March! Hardly any grass on the final few greens. To top it off the signature island/peninsula par 3 17th bridge was broken, so carts had to go the long way around, backing up the course just before you were at its merciful finish. Will not be back and have already told friends visiting to find any other option.

Needs a lot of work and reduced prices.

My buddy and I play at least 2-3 times a week throughout the Houston area. We travel to all different tracks to get the best out of Houston golf. BlackHorse has always been on the top of the list because of the great course conditions and decent twilight rates.

Yesterday, we played the south course at 2:30. Holes 12-18 were in awful shape, almost un-puttable. I understand every course has ups and downs, but we paid $108 EACH to play something that shouldn’t have been over $50.

It’s disappointing that other courses in the HTX area will adjust rates as the course conditions change, but blackhorse seems to charge full rates regardless.

I will not be back until I see prices change or course conditions reflect $100 prices.

Greens need work

A beautiful course and it don't come cheap. Was a bit disappointed with some of the greens that was un puttable towards the last 4 holes.

South Course

I’m glad I found a hot deal for me on a Friday afternoon for under $60 here. Nice course but can’t see playing $100-$135 to play it which is often what they charge. Course maintenance needs to be better for them to charge that.

I’m sure once Spring gets here it will return to the course I really liked.

Definitely will be back for the right price.
