La Cantera Golf Club
About
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.

Staple of SA Golf!!!
So, The Resort Course at La Cantera is the standard that all the resort courses in the area are compared to. As former host of the Texas Open it is a great course setup and design. The current setup is tailored to the average golfer with the fairways cut wide and the greens running a smooth medium pace. With a series of different tees to choose from you can experience varying levels of challenge the course provides. There are many cool tee shots out there but the tee shot standing on the 7th about 200 feet above the fairway and green with roller coasters at Fiesta Texas in the distance is very unique. Other features include GPS on every cart, good beverage services on course and good pace of play. Plus, I can generally find a good price on GolfNow.com or one of the other bargain sites. Overall, one of my favorite places to play in town.
Annual outing
I brought 3 friends who had never played this course before. All loved it!
Adamsrr,
We are so pleased that you and your friends loved the course! Come back again very soon.
Until then, best wishes!

Never Been Treated Like That As A Customer
I've been playing golf more than 30 years and yesterday was yelled at for the first time by a marshall. The course was cart path only, me and my friend both hit into the woods well right of #2 across the dry creek into the woods. After punching out we got in the cart and a marshal rolled up and yelled "What are you doing" (I tried to post what he actually said but my review was rejected for profanity) I tried to explain to him that we didn't see a problem with being in the woods no where near a fairway or the rough but apologized and said we would be sure to stay on the path. He said we better or we would be kicked off the course. With the amount of yelling and threats you'd think we we're kids doing donuts on a green. There's a way to talk to grown men, especially when they are paying customers. We told him he needed to settle down and talk to us respectfully. He drove off, no apology then, no apology later.
Course was in great shape, greens a little slow but sped up after the sun came out. Love playing here but after that treatment I'm unlikely to be back unless I happen to catch a cheap rate.
Darinw51,
We are so sorry to hear about how you were treated at our course. This kind of behavior from staff is not tolerated and will be addressed internally. To further discuss this situation, please email us at LaCantera.ResortCourse@gmail.com. Again, we send our apologies.

Serious Staff Issues
I've been playing golf more than 30 years and yesterday was yelled at for the first time by a marshall. The course was cart path only, me and my friend both hit into the woods well right of #2 across the dry creek. After punching out we got in the cart and this guy rolled up and yelled "what the ..... are you guys doing off the cart path". I tried to explain that we didn't see a problem with being in the woods no where near a fairway or even the rough but apologized and said we would be sure to stay on the path. He said we better or we would be kicked off the course. With the amount of yelling and threats you'd think we we're kids doing donuts on a green. There's a way to talk to grown men, especially when they are paying customers. We told him he needed to settle down and talk to us respectfully. He finally drove off, no apology then, no apology later.
Course was in great shape, greens a little slow but sped up after the sun came out. Love playing here but after that treatment I'm unlikely to be back unless its really cheap. Not going to pay good money to be treated like that.

cart path only???
we were treated very well by all the staff. the course is in good condition, but we found the greens very slow. there is a lot of construction going on and it becomes noisy. it was cart path only that day and the weather was in the 90's and humid, so it made for a long day. overall still very good and we would go back and play again.
Hi thegrats,
Thank you for playing at the Resort Course at La Cantera. We appreciate your feedback regarding the speed of the greens as the bermuda grass is now blooming from its winter dormant state. We apologize about the construction as La Cantera Resort is putting up a spa right on the first hole. We hope you will be back to see us once the construction is complete, or visit the Palmer Course at La Cantera.
Best Wishes,
the Resort Course at La Cantera Management

course was in great conditions. Very challenging, but some easier holes to make it average out. Would definitely play again for rate on golf now. Greens in great shape, but tough.
