Rating 73.1

Narrow tree-lined fairways and a creek which you often encounter make Lackland AFB's Gateway Hills Golf Course a fun round. The ninth hole, playing up a steep hill is a real experience as is the elevated green on 18. If you have a friend who is in the military and can get on, Gateway Hills Golf Course a worthwhile option with well manicured greens.

Gateway Hills Golf Course is laid out on 200 acres featuring extreme elevation changes overlooking San Antonio. The golf course meanders 6,900 yards from the back tees with many strategically located bunkers and a host of oak and mesquite trees. Gateway Hills GC provides a practice area that includes a driving range, putting green, bunker and a lob wedge practice grees

Fast round.

Ground was damp. Greens were smooth. Friendly golfers allowed me to play through. Fairways were wide and rough not to high, so ball were easily found.

Military Golf

Hadn’t played here in at least 20 years. Always remember the hills and the course conditions were always pretty good. Currently the course isn’t in really good shape. The greens were very very slow and the back nine had been punched and sanded the week before. Fairways were ok and most t boxes needed mowing. Overall had fun except for the twosome in front of us which one was giving lessons to the other who managed about 20 to 30 yards per shot and refused to allow anyone to pass even when present at the t box at the same time with them. The course layout is pretty neat with the extremely elevated tees and all of the elevation changes. The guy in the pro shop was fantastic and very friendly. Overall, my son and I had a good time and the course deserves another try next time I’m in San Antonio. You can’t beat the price either.

Sub-par

Course was in bad shape and probably won’t be returning. Trash and debris everywhere, no ball washers, and upkeep near non-existent.

It was a cold day to start but warmed up nicely. We were the only ones on the course for much of the day, this made for uninterrupted play - nice. Course was in good shape.
