Hodges died in San Antonio, Texas, in 1966.
He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery, Section 2, Grave 890-A.
In Perry, Georgia, the State Route 7 Spur, a former section of U.S. Route 41/State Route 7, was named General Courtney Hodges Boulevard.
A road in Dinant (Belgium) is named Avenue Général Hodges.


Although he possessed fine military reputation as a firm and skilled commander, Hodges was quiet and little known to his troops despite significant efforts to enhance his image and popularity.
In his postwar memoirs, Omar Bradley who knew Hodges as well as anyone, wrote:
A spare, soft-voiced Georgian without temper, drama or visible emotion, Hodges was left behind in the European headline sweepstakes.
He was essentially a millitary technician whose faultless techniques and tactical knowledge made him one of the most skilled craftsmen in my entire command.
He probably knew as much about infantry and training as any man in the army.
But he was unostentatious and retiring, Hodges occupied an almost anonymous role in the war.
Yet as a general's general his stature among our U.S commanders was rivaled only by that of William H. Simpson.
For Hodges successfully blended dexterity and common sense in such equal portions as to produce a magnificently balanced command.
I had implicit faith in his judgement, in his skill and restraint.
Of all my Army commanders he required the least supervision.
