Type Military

Slope 125
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

Hilly course

Fun hilly course to play. Fairway is in good shape. Green is slow. Bunker needs some attention.

Little has changed in 35 yrs

Golf Now price was $12.99. I was a single and payed in 2 hrs. Use to play here back in the early 1990s. Layout has remained the same, greens and fairways could use a little speed.

Ed's GHGC Review

Due to recent rains and saturated grounds, the back 9 was closed again to allow it to recover. Despite the fact that playing the front 9 twice detracts from a better rating, it is required until the ground dries. Kudos to the staff.

The course needs some serious upkeep. Weeds near the greens, the sand traps are dirt and rock. ..no sand. The weed issue off the fairways are knee high and if your ball rolls into this unkept area, you just accept that you lose your ball. If the rough was properly cut & maintained, then you can easily play on. This course is a huge disappointment considering the USAF should have its courses comparable to civilian courses.
