Is Lackland Golf Course open to the public, and what are the typical greens fees?
Yes, Lackland welcomes non-military golfers, though you'll find a tiered pricing structure.

We recommend checking their website or calling ahead for the most current rates, as they can fluctuate.

When is the best time of year to play Lackland Golf Course to avoid the intense heat?

The clubhouse at Lackland is straightforward and functional, offering a pro shop with essentials and a snack bar. You'll find standard golf course fare - hot dogs, sandwiches, and cold drinks - perfect for a quick bite after your front nine or a casual lunch post-round. Don't expect gourmet, but it hits the spot.
