Great course
Enjoyed the round. But, if you get there early (before your tee time) don’t expect to get on the course (even if you’re the only one there) Unless you pay an extra $10!!!. This is a change from the past. Not sure why the change.
Beautiful day for golf
Drainage on hole 1 is complete...Wow nice improvement. Hope they work on hole 10 sometime soon. Met some good old guys waiting for group in front of them.....The 92 year old was just a little slow. Could be he was taking his time .....working on all those pars!
Gateway Hills getting ready for Summer
Working hard to be ready for the Summer. Can’t wait to see the course in May.
Great Layout
While the course is in need of some work, it is a quiet and peaceful tract. I enjoyed the elevation changes and wide fairways. Always great to see USAirforce Cargo planes overhead!
Always enjoy playing Gateway Hills
Enjoyed the round..... Hope when the weather is better they can fix all those water leaks..Hole number one should be in great shape maybe two more months!
Good course, fairways need TLC
To play for less than $20 it’s a good course to play. There is work being done on a couple of the fairways and a lot of other fairways could use more grass.
GREAT TIME
The course is undergoing some renovations so we had to skip the first hole. There was work elsewhere but it all worked out.
The greens were fast after they dried out. The players who dig the ball out of the cup with their putter are destroying the edges. It is sad that they don't find a less destructive way to retrieve the ball.
Gateway to the Air Force
Always enjoy playing at Lackland AFB. Hole one closed .....fixing drainage problem.....hope they several other areas.
Nice layout
Condition of the course was not very good. Neat layout .
It’s January Golf
Surprisingly shot 72 so I can’t complain too much. Greens are nice for January - for $15 and 3 hrs for 18 holes, I’d give it 3 stars.
Course review.
First off on military post.
Secondly staff was good no issues but only dealt with them to check in.
Course conditions:
Sub-par could barely tell the difference from the fair way to the rough. Tee boxes barely maintained and greens were roughly a 5 out of ten. Now I don’t want to take away from the weather hardships the course has had to deal with lately but multiple holes were under construction and giant ditches and up turned ground everywhere. Hopefully better during the season. Course definitely needs more love and care.
Gateway to the Air Force
Darn ——- got in about 5 sand traps—-good news, the sand traps were in excellent condition, So was able to get out easily! Finally starting to fix to some drainage problems Hope that doesn’t take toooo long.
Elevation
This was my first time playing this course on Lackland AFB in San Antonio, and it won't be my last! This was an extremely fun and challenging course. The elevation changes from tee box to greens were fun and challenging. The staff was nice and made it pleasant to play.
Great views. Fun elevations.
Course played quickly for a warm Saturday In December.
Greens in good shape I appreciate dormant grass instead of winter grass. a few tee boxes were hard packed. Fairways in good condition.
Enjoyable round and some awesome elevated tees and greens. Great value.
One of my favorite course s
Great course Great Pro shop... But, don’t get behind a group of 5.. They will not let you play thru!!!!! Course has some maintenance issues that should have been addressed months ago.
Great value
Ove been to this course many times. It is not a very hard or long course, so it’s good for weekend golfers. Pace of play is good and the course conditions are usually decent.
I read some reviews about issues with checking in to enter the base. That could be the biggest negative for this place. Non military need to add some time to their plan in order to sign in to be allowed access.
