Lackland Air Force Base, Texas

The Gateway Golf Course is an 18 hole, Par 72 course that measures 6,917 yards from the back tees, the designed is unknown, and the course opened in 1946 and has a rating of 73.1 with a slope of 125.

The course was designed with narrow Oak and Mesquite tree lined Fairways and a creek which runs throughout the course.  The 1st tee is very elevated over the fairway and green, the 9th hole plays up a steep hill and is a real challenge as is the the 18th hole.  The extreme elevation changes overlook the San Antonio skyline.  The course was in excellent condition when I played it, with lush trees and bushes, and open fairways and greens and scenic views while playing the course, but if it rains, and the creek tends to turn into a small lake.


The golf course is for the military and their guests only.
