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.

First Time Playing

Great layout and challenge

Played the south course and was delayed a bit for the frost. First time playing here and I have to say it is one of the most enjoyable layouts in Houston. The fairways are oak lined which sets up your shots very well. Greens were in great shape along with the fairways.

Any conditions complaint you see is focused around dense tree areas where they haven’t trimmed the limbs to get enough air flow and light so don’t let that shy you away.

Too many on the course

Not sure what happened, pace of play is normally good at this course. This particular round after 4hrs and 45 mins we were only able to get in 17 holes. Course was in good shape, greens were great for this time of year. Staff and amenities are always great.

Great and course but little bit expensive

Great and course but little bit expensive course. Some times it smells quite a lot due to bad sewage, especially on back 9 holes.

Put in a 5some and took 5 hours 20 min

Golf course is terribly unorganized. They have way too many people booked and mix in with tournaments. We were forced to play with a member and then paired with 2 others. 5 golfers is no good. It was terribly slow.

2023 Drought

Mother Nature took away the beauty of the south course. The dried up lakes make you shake your head knowing how it looked before. But they will be back!!

Still a beautiful course

Dry but good

South course has many holes which are cart path only. The new electronic controlled carts do less than ample notice to players of these requirements. Several holes our cart was stuck on the fairway because it failed to notify us. Our playing partners cart worked fine. Otherwise dry as expected but the greens were great and rolled true.

Narrow fairways

Watering this course have made the difference among many other courses where dry surfaces had made it hard to enjoy a good round
