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.

Course is in immaculate condition right now after the recent rain we’ve been getting. Always in great condition but even more superior right now. Get out here and play this track ASAP if you haven’t, worth every penny. Views are excellent as well.

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.
