La Loma at Fort Sam Houston Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Nice Track
Nice easy track with great staff. Slow pace this day but is was Labor Day
Fort Sam Houston
Need to pack lunch/snacks/drinks if you play Salado del Rio course
Great course.
One of the best military course I have played. Hats off to the maintenance staff. The course is always ready to play. Keep up the great work.
Texas drought golf
Considering we're in a drought in Texas. We had a blast at Fort Sam golf course. The course was in good condition and very fun to play. Still trying to contact Golf Now about the discount tee times?????
Awful conditions
I have seen this course in good condition. Not today. Perhaps the worst condition I have seen a course in within the last few years. I am hopeful that more money will be spent on the course going forward. The carts and driving range were great — but more effort needs to be put into course maintenance. Standing water in bunkers due to overwatering. Some bunkers were basically rock instead of sand. Fringes were bare. I’ve never seen the course this bad and only a few that approached this condition. If they let it go much further, they might as well plow it under.
Bad greens
On a good approach shot to the green, you should be rewarded but the greens were dry patched up some were terrible
Loma
Greens were very inconsistent. Staff was great! Bunkers needed sand. Good deal for the price!
Conditions
Greens were ok, some fairways had no grass but overall the value was excellent
Fun Course
I always enjoy playing military courses and Ft Sam has two very nice 18 hole courses. Great pro shop with a friendly staff and an excellent restaurant.
