Overview

About BlackHorse Golf Club

BlackHorse Golf Club is one of Houston's premier 36-hole facilities. With a strong foundation, engaged membership, and a deeply loyal team - many of whom have been with the club for over a decade - we're proud of the culture we've built and the high standards we uphold every day.

In 2026 we transitioned our South Course to a private model, while the North Course will remain a public facility, giving us a unique and dynamic position in the Houston golf market. To support this evolution and elevate the member experience, we invested $2 million into a bunker renovation and redesign this winter - a bold step forward in course conditioning and infrastructure. The work does not stop here with $200,000 in current bridgework construction and discussions of tee redesign and renovation, as well as North Course bunkers on the table.

This is an ideal opportunity for a strategic, visionary leader to make a lasting impact at a club with momentum, resources, and a team-first culture.
