The Gateway Hills Golf Course is an 18-hole,
Par 72 course that measures 6,917 yards from the back tees, with a current
rating of 73.1 and a slope of 125. The
original course designer is not known and the course originally opened in 1946.
This is a typical
Texas layout with narrow mesquite tree lined fairways and a creek which you
often encounter during your round of golf.
The 9th hole plays up a steep hill and is a real challenge if
not played correctly. The same is true for
the 18th green. The course
has many extreme elevations changes, some with outstanding views of downtown San
Antonio.
I played the
course on a golf trip to San Antonio in 2010 and as the picture above shows, it
rained on the second day and the creek became a LAKE. After a day or two it was back to normal
challenging course that will test golfers of all skill levels.
The golf
course is for the military and their guests only.
