Great Value
If you're looking for a well-maintained course at rock-bottom prices, look no further than Gateway Hills. Active duty military, dependents, and veterans with ID can access JBSA freely. Civilians must stop at the Visitor's Center. Everything about this place is very nice.
Awesome, challenging course
Can’t beat the views!!!!
This course will definitely test your skills!!! I recommend this course to everyone.
The course is in great shape
Greens are excellent. They are very slow. Need to speed them up.
Course is challenging and enjoyable.
Course layout is challenging yet enjoyable. My friends liked the greens ,they were lush And in fantastic shape.
Course has unique hole layouts
Greens in great condition. Nice elevated 1st tee box. Some blind tee boxes, so a little dangerous. Old carts, no ball washer or gps, so bring your own. Military base. Need military I.d. or clubhouse has to issue you a pass. They did not the day I made the reservation. Luckily arrived an hour early and had to wait for clubhouse to send email to gate entrance. Warning about this on golf now does not appear until after you pay. I paid Thursday for Friday..only negative.
Greens are lush.
The course was in great shape the greens were amazing. Staff is very friendly and helpful. It was a very friendly atmosphere .
Rushed for no reason
Checked in an hour before T-time to hit practice balls, The check-in/ starter (Paul) seemed a bit grumpy. He told me twice, "Don;t start until I call you." OK, got it. So less than 15 minutes into hitting a large bucket he calls me on the sound system along with my partner to the No.1 tee box immediately. Then again within 30 seconds of the first notification. {Someone's hair was on fire?} Essentially, we were prevented from warming up prior to our round- As I was at the first tee box , Paul calls me inside to the starter counter, I go from the 1st tee-box to the door and he pokes his head out and tells me "you can go" . Wow, What's the hurry, pushing us out 30 minutes earlier than our Tee time, without being able to hit balls when no one was behind us waiting- The course greens were soaked, slow and needed to be cut, The fairways were dried out with numerous leaks in the sprinkler system which caused "pools of standing water" and" sizeable mud-holes" caused by carts intentionally driving thru flooded area's. No Marshall-
This course needs a lot of work-Need to hire more grounds crew to work on the sprinkler system and to remove the thick clover and weeds surrounding the greens. Maybe talk to the inside help and discuss what customer service is include that knowledge when interacting with paying customers. Safe to say, we won't be back anytime soon.
Could be better
I don’t know why they’re letting this wonderful course go to the dogs. So many water leaks....number 10 fairway creek still in poor condition...... many trees need to be trimmed....I still love this course.....Please take much better care .
Government quality
The cost of the course definitely indicates the quality. A lot of the course is covered in leaves and sticks. I think the time of the year I played was just bad timing. Will give them another shot.
It’s good
If your local this is. a great course. Fairways are a bit crazy but the greens are excellent.
Twilight it’s worth it
We had a good time. The course is under maintenance on hole 3. T box moved up from a par 5 to par 4. All the greens were very well kept. The fairways like a cow pasture. Onside ring the fire If the sun/heat the course looks great. Recommend. Brandon at the club house super cool.
