La Cantera Golf Club opened in 1995, when it also hosted one of the oldest PGA Tour events, the Texas Open. It is no wonder the spot was chosen, with its numerous natural water features, mature oaks, and limestone rock outcroppings it provides the perfect terrain for a challenging round. There are also 75 white sand bunkers strategically placed throughout the golf course. In combination with the spectacular views provided by the course’s elevation changes, the course has quickly gained favor as one of the best public-access golf courses in the country.

Pricey but worth playing once

Traveled to San Antonio to celebrate our anniversary. Played several other courses in the area that were comparable but less expensive. Would play again if it worked out but would start with some other courses first.

Always good

The Resort course is always a pleasure to play. It was raining/misting so the course was a little wet, but you could barely tell. It’s always in good condition. Much more playable than the Palmer course although both are excellent. Enjoy the roller coaster ride. Huge greens will help to shoot a few shots less than its brother/sister course.

First Time Playing

Beautiful course, but very rushed

We had a group of four in front of us, a group of four behind us and we all tee’d off within 10 mins of each other. The group in front of us a little slower, and of course us a little slower too since we’re not professional golf players , we were playing at a normal regular joe golfer pace, even playing best ball so we don’t stay out there for four hours. The Marshall comes up and informs us we’re not playing fast enough , and at 125$ a Person, to rush our game and get us out of there like cattle was disrespectful and appalling , I’ve never been treated like that, the Marshall followed us and the group in front of us to the next four holes watching us. I’ve played almost every golf course in town and again, never been treated like that. I know for sure I won’t ever go back, and it’s a shame since it’s a nice course .
