Rating 73.0

The La Loma course is one of two 18-hole, championship courses at the historic Fort Sam Houston. The facility hosted the Texas Open in the '50s and '60s, making it the only military facility to ever host a PGA event. La Loma has its fair share of challenges but overall the other course at the club, Salado del Rio, is the more demanding of the two. The fairways are tree-lined but not as tight as on the other golf course, lending a more forgiving quality to La Loma. The greens are medium in both size and speed and there are strategically placed bunkers throughout the course. Fort Sam Houston also has a practice chipping green and a lighted driving range for golfers to use.

Must have military pass

Despite playing @ Fort Sam 2 weeks prior as a non-miliitary golfer, I was turned away and not allowed to play despite having prepaid for the round. GolfNow is NOT clear about this requirement, and I've notified them. Very disappointed with the curt service from the clubhouse.

Salado

Arrived to find the range is closed for renovation. Nice to know that ahead of time. LaLoma course was closed, so we played Salado. My first time. An interesting course with a fair amount of trees that demands accuracy.

Beautiful day for golf!

Due to various injuries we haven't played golf in over 3 months. I'm glad we chose this course to get back out there. The course is pretty wide open, not a lot of hazards. Fairways and greens were ok for January, and the pace of play was ok, not great. Fortunately the group in front of us let us play through so that saved us some waiting around. We stopped for a quick bite at the turn, 2 hotdogs, a bag of chips and a soda for $10, good deal. Would play here again.

Need some amenities

I have played Ft Sam before. I would like to see a GPS
system on the carts and at least a ball washer.
We saw one ball washer on the course with no water in it.
At this time of year with poor conditions, you must have a ball washer. Lots of divots which I tried to fix. This is not because of the staff but golfers need to take care of.
I had some difficulty in the staff not finding my reservation on the computer and one of my guests paid for the round. Robert after the round gave my guest a credit but some embarrasing moments.
