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.
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.
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.
Lackland golf
Fairways were awful, greens were good, and the layout is excellent.. very enjoyable course to play..great value
Golf round
Layout was excellent.. fairways were awful.. greens were good.. overall excellent value
Good Greens
Course is not well maintained. Fairways lack adequate grass. Second cut is non-existent. Tee boxes are a mixed bag of poor to fair. Greens are in fairly good shape. Cart paths need substantial work/ repair. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Given the state of the course overall, the Golf Now rate is too high.
Fairways need some improvement.Other than that the course is in good condition. The course is a military golf course so you need to acquire a visitor pass to play if you are a civilian.Call the golf course to sponsor you , they are very accommodating to sponsor you.(Kudos to Patti)
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 .
Read the Tee time policy
For anyone interested in this course. Take the time to review all the small print and golf course policies. My friend and I purchased a hot deal tee time since we were in San Antonio over the weekend. We purchased the tee time at the last minute and failed to adhere to the tee time policy of the 24 hours notification at the golf course. Needless to say we didn’t get to play and lost out on the money for the tee times. It would be great if Golfnow would highlight the policy for playing this course, so others don’t waste their time and money.
Reunion golf

Mile high drop to fairways. Love those !! fun course

Another Round
As a member at the course, we usually play on saturdays and sundays. Good layout, pace of play usually is quick. Course has declined a little but sill an excellent course to play. Staff is very friendly.
