Type Military
Par 72
Length 6917 yards
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

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.

Gateway

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.

Big Disappointment

As a civilian I was VERY disappointed in finding out that although GolfNow accepted my reservation on a two days notice; the Air Force insisted on 72 hours notice to do a background check on my wife and I. Why does Golf Now accept a reservation 1-4 days in advance when the course management - in this case the Air Force - requires 72 hours notice.

Please take AFB courses OFF Golf Now!!!

Very disappointing, and I'm out money to boot!

Course / Service

The attendant show up at the same time I did, 10:30am for a 11:30am t-time. He said he wasn't opening until 11:30 and was going to hit balls at driving range and let peopleoutat 12.. We had some freezing conditions Thursday and Friday and it was in the 50s by 10 am that day. Not sure who is the decision maker on opening the course but I am sure the greens were fine by probably 9am. Course needs some work. It may be lack of funding. Some fairways show drainage issues and cart paths need some repair. Greens need to be mowed.

Miss playing this course.

I haven't played this course in sometime. I enjoyed my time there and will be returning often. The greens and fairways are in great condition, better than I remembered from past years. Keep up the good work.
