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.

Very nice course
Blackhorse is a nice golf course. Greens are well maintained and the rough allows for not-so-good golfers to have a better chance at the game.
Needs Work
Friendly and accommodating staff. Fun layout but fairways and greens were in poor condition.
Not worth the money
Bunkers had 0 maintenance, bathrooms were not open, and the final 4 holes took more than 90 minutes. Course layout is interesting and the staff was great in the pro shop, but the Marshalls obviously had 0 interest in doing their job.
Where Does the $ Go?
I continue to check in occasionally at Blackhorse hoping for improvement but it continues to get worse. If the green fees were $50/round I would have no complaints with the course but they are not. With green fees almost always over $120/round I think it is fair to expect better course conditions. The bunkers are always poorly maintained and the greens are average by Houston standards at best. It is a shame because they are good tracks with interesting hole layouts on both courses but the current management is not spending the revenue properly to keep it maintained for their golfers. The reputation this club once had as one of the best public tracks in Houston is quickly fading.
No premier course here
This course used to be phenomenal, if I hadn’t got it for a hot deal, I probably would not go back out there, fairways or lack there of mostly dirt. This course receives way too much play for its price point. I would love to see it return to its former glory but doubt that will happen. This course should cost 45 for weekends.
Nice round on a winter day
Nice round on a winter day
Played in afternoon round on January 10, a nice sunny day in Houston. It had rained a lot days before so it was cartpath only, but the fairways were fairly dry and the greens were true. Enjoyed the round , couple of pars couple of birdies, a nice start to 2023! Sand traps are too wet to play in but not the courses fault. We always recommend Blackhorse at reasonable rates to anyone.
Great Course But Tee Time Changed
Blackhorse is one of my favorite spots in town and I'll definitely be back but I ran into an issue this time that has never happened before. I booked an 11:20 prepaid tee time through GolfNow. When we checked in we were told the time was 11:00 and it was not prepaid. Apparently they move some tee times around to pair up groups of less than four and it caused some issues. We were able to straighten everything out and they gentleman in the pro shop gave us free range balls as an apology. I was still a little thrown off by the fact that our tee time had been moved and no one notified us. I gladly would've gotten to the course earlier for some extra warm up had I known. So that was a little disappointing. For what it's worth, there were a handful of other singles and twosomes on the course. Maybe this was just a one-off thing. Aside from that, the course was in good shape. Fairways and greens were outstanding. Bunkers were pretty banged up but it had rained pretty hard 36 hours prior so I kinda get that.
Great Course
The course was in great shape. The greens rolled very true. I played with two other singles. One of whom I just started playing golf and we still played in 3 1/2 hours. I have played the north course before but this is my first time to play the south course. I really enjoyed it. It was challenging and fun. Less forgiveness off the tee. I will definitely be back again
Very Slow
Enjoyed the course but had to wait on a 5some of women in front of us all day because they wouldn’t let us play through..None of them seemed to hit it farther than 40 yards and took multiple practice swings every time. Was painful to sit and watch all day waiting from the tee box.
