Dea slow pace

The pace for the day was dreadful, 15-20min waits on every tee. I understand alittle but if a wait but when I started the back nine I was 1hr 45mins behind pace and I shot 1 over. Tried using the cart gps to call a marshal then called the pro shop and was told “maybe get an earlier tee time” and I will take that advice on another course. Not worth the money and headache to play there.

Tough course but pure

I played black horse north course. Staff are friendly and the course conditions are as pure as they can be. This course is obviously in the higher side for pricing but you get what you pay for. Very well taken care of and nice carts. Only thing I didn’t like is the micromanaging systems in the carts. Pace of play was alright. A lot of times I found myself waiting before each shot at least a few minutes to five minutes and keep in mind this was on a Tuesday twilight tee time. So weekends probably have more waiting involved.

The course is very challenging and long but a crazy cool design. A lot of fun holes to play. But not for your beginner golfer. If you’re just starting out and don’t hit very far, this might be a very very tough course for you to play.

Cart path only

Cart path for any senior not recommended on a day with light winds and a heat index (Hooks airport) touching 100. Obviously the excessive drought is effecting this course. I’m guessing watering fairways has been cut back due to county restrictions. This has produced a lack of good roll in the fairways. It was exhausting for this 73 year old having to locate and walk to balls across the fairways from cart paths. An ordeal I was glad was over. Not helping was the lack of refreshment carts. Thank God I had taken a couple of bottled waters with me. Ran out by the 16th after 5 pm and the auxiliary refreshment stand by the driving range had already closed. Avoid this course until cooler weather arrives!

Expensive

too expensive for what you get. Feels exactly like Gleannloch Pines but is $20 to $40 more expensive.

Watch out (Extremely Hot)

NO water bottles with the starter as I was told The starter wasn't in his place. The cart girl met my group at the tee at hole #1 and then at hole #8. Because we were just starting I failed to get any water (my bad) and by hole 8 I had a very bad headache that ruined my round. The critic is because I stopped at three holes to drink water from the coolers and there were no paper/plastic cups. None. Please fix this.
Other than that Blackhorse is a beauty.

Best course in cypress

This is the greenest public course in north Houston at the moment probably. Definitely the best course in the cypress area. Greens were very fast but I truly enjoyed the course and the layout.

Definitely going back

Right now this course is probably the best maintained in the area. It still has green fairways and good greens. Little expensive if booking at regular prices but is still one of my favorites

Great Course

Even with extreme heat, the course seem well maintained, green a bit faster and exceptional service! Our cart was broke/battery they came replace new cart in a few minutes! Very very well maintained golf course! Will come back this day to play again!
The person who works at the check in gate doesn’t seem friendly I guess the heat took it from him!

Course Condition

The grass off the fairways was extremely high actually the ball was buried beneath the grass. This was throughout the course. The bunkers are craters which I assume is their idea of a hazard. Overall, the course is fun to play, it can play long on the par 5’s. The GPS on the carts is a nice to have and the carts were clean and comfortable.

Great course

Really enjoy the course, just would appreciate knowing when they punch and sand the greens. Still very playable but I hate paying full price when course is in less than stellar condition.

Incredible Course

I love playing here it never disappoints. It is challenging for me as an average player. The only thing I would say is that the pin placement on the cards has not been right on any of the times I have played. So judge it for yourself and look at the groups ahead of you to see where they are at relative to the shape of the green and bunkers surrounding. All and all I love playing at blackhorse.
