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.

nice layout

Enjoyed the layout of the course. Dry Fairways but great greens. Good pace of play. Make sure to get to the base early as you need to get a day pass to enter the military base. Will surely play the course again. Great course for the price.

Was not happy very upset

The course wasn’t in good shape. There were soggy spots all over the course. The pace of play was so terrible the group in front of us was so slow we had three groups waiting. They thought it was funny. There was no one in front of them so we skip holes and it was wide open. Also the green was in good shape. An I’m a soldier just like the other groups and I have golf ethics to let a group go through if I’m playing slow. We waited on every hole on the front nine. Played this course last year around this time it was in real good shape but not now.

Terrible service

I was really looking forward to play this course. I called the day before to make sure I could get on base.

I arrived the next day at the visitor center outside the base and it took them 45 minutes just for the visitor center to call my name to get my pass. The clubhouse could’ve mentioned that there was a graduation going on that day and that I should arrive MUCH earlier than I arrived( I arrived at the visitor center 45 minutes prior to my tee time).

Then I finally get called to get my pass and the people at the service center couldn’t find the email from the clubhouse saying that I was going to play golf today. I call the clubhouse and I spoke with Patty about the email she was supposed to send over. Patty said the didn’t send it over because my partner that I was supposed to play with never called to confirm he was playing(My partner called me on this day to say he couldn’t make it). So, nevertheless, the email was never sent over.

Patty said she’d send over the email saying that she’d send over an email saying it was just me only to play. I told the lady at the visitor center that she’s sending over the email. The lady at the visitor center said it’d be another 15-30 minutes before she’d receive the email from patty. By this time I said forget it and I went home. By the time they would’ve got the email and I would’ve made it to the clubhouse, I’d already be an hour late for my tee time.

I’m never attempting to play this course ever again!!!

Fun Yet Chllenging Course

Good value for the play. The staff was especially friendly, both on the day before we actually played and on the day we played. Others players were friendly and helpful.
