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.

Very Enjoyable
The corse is fare for all labels of play one of the best things about this corse are the grate views.
Conditions when perfect when we played it.
Easier then the championship La Cantera Palmer Course
one of the best courses for the money
the course was in good shape considering we played after it rained all week . it took my 4 person party just over 4 hours from start to finish with all of us shooting in the low 90's. the hardest part was reading the greens, they'd be fast one way and slow the other .the worst thing was the price for beverages, 5.50 for a can of beer and 3.25 for a bottle of water.
Hi meatyboy,
Thank you for playing at La Cantera Resort. We are happy to hear pace of play was up to par, and you enjoyed your round even after the previous rain fall. We appreciate your feedback regarding the beverage prices, as this helps us make improvements for future golfers.
We hope you will be back to see us for another round soon.
Best Wishes,
La Cantera Resort Management
Range closed
The course was in good condition, but with the range closed, it made for a tough few holes. In my opinion, any time a course doesn't provide the services described on site, the course should either issue a partial discount or provide a complimentary drink or something.
Hi u000003967304,
Thank you for playing at La Cantera Resort. We are sorry that the range was closed during your visit. We appreciate your feedback as this will help us make improvements for future golfers. We hope you will be back to see us again, so we can provide you with an exceptional golf experience.

Course can play tough
Enjoyed the round. Greens were faster than normal...loved them!! Reading breaks can fool you at times. Nice challenge and fun course to play~!
Hi rjanzen,
Thank you for playing at La Cantera Resort. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your round, and you had a great pace of play. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the challenge, but still had fun! We hope you will be back to see us for another round soon.

Good experience
Course had some amazing views, and cool hole layouts. It was a little soggy, which was to be expected after all the rain. I only wish the range would've been open, instead of having to hit the course cold turkey, but can understand why it wasn't. Same as cart path only. Overall it was a great course, and will have to play it again sometime when the weather allows the course to be in peak condition.
Hi crb15,
Thank you for playing at La Cantera Resort. We appreciate the great rating and the 5 star review! We have had some bad weather come through, but we are glad that did not impact your game. We hope you will be back to see us for another round soon.

Great golf and jaw-dropping vistas!
Despite having to walk a lot because rain had forced cart-path-only conditions, our two threesomes enjoyed the round greatly. Some of us had played the Palmer course before and were looking forward to another great experience. We were not disappointed.
Course, views, staff, (discounted) price-- everything rated 5 stars.
Thank you for playing at La Cantera Resort. We appreciate the great rating and 5 star review. We are so happy that you enjoyed our staff, course layout, and the views. We hope you will be back to see us again soon.

The course was in great condition; it is quite difficult but fair. The greens are quite fast and there is severe sloping on several. The pace of play for the first four holes was snaillike but the foursome let us through and they never saw us again.A 4 hour round - wonderful. I rate this course a must play!
Hi uGCJH3189GC,

Poor pro shop and ranger judgement
First I want to say that the course is extremely nice. Great fast greens and views. Now for the worst part, the pace of play. For the first 12 holes our group was on pace for a 4 hour round, very nice, then the slow down. The rangers on the course had now allowed a group of 8 to play. 2 foursomes playing in the tail end of a tournament became a group of 8. I called the pro shop and informed them. They could have cared less. All they said was "well, we had a tournament today". I know you had a tournament today, there is a group of 8 slowing up every group behind them. "We will call the Rangers to check on it". I told them there was a ranger standing next to me, here, talk to him. "No, we will call them on the walkie-talkie". I asked the ranger, why are you allowing a group of 8 to play. His response..."the other ranger told me it was okay". WHAT!! IT WAS OKAY TO HAVE A GROUP OF 8 PLAYING AND SLOWING EVERYBODY DOWN!! "The other ranger said it was okay". It took almost 2 hours to play the final 6 hours! This showed the head pro and his staff's lack of attention and their apathy to make sure the golf experience on the course is a good one. If you play here, call in advance, if there is a tournament, avoid this course like the plague. They could care less how slow the pace of play is and that you have a pleasurable round of golf. The best staff member was the starter named Jack, from New York, he was very good.

Not worth full price.
Beautiful course. I had the unfortunate tee time behind a very slow group due to a tournament. I would rate this course as average. It was oksu, but not fun due to the tournament.
Hi nevetskled,
Thank you for playing at the Resort Course at La Cantera. We apologize that the pace of play was not up to par. We hope you will come back to see us again.

Beautiful views and lots of wild life
We were able to get a hot deal through golf now and only paid $42 for the round so a great deal for this caliber of course. There were so many scenic views, at times, I forgot we were playing golf. The holes were challenging, but playable. I would certainly play here again and agian. :-)
Hi RocketRox,
Thank you for playing at the Resort Course at La Cantera. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the challenge of the course as well as its beautiful landscape. We look forward to your next visit.

Golf On a Wednesday at La Canterra
Booked this tee time about 2 hours in advance through GolfNow. The course "as always" was in wonderful conditions. The staff were courteous and professional and got us right out with no hassle. This course is one of several gems in San Antonio (it used to host the Valero Texas Open) that a golfer can always depend on good playing conditions. This was my first time using GolfNow and from these results will more than likely use them again. Thanks again to the staff at La Canterra and GolfNow.

Great hill country course
I played the resort course twice. The first day I was all over the place, falling into some of the courses traps. The second day I was 12 strokes better. The staff was great - I bought some merchandise from the club house, and they volunteered to keep ahold of it until for me so I don't mess it up on the course. Sensible. Of course I left the course and completely forgot about the purchases waiting for me in the club house. I called the pro shop after I left the hotel, and they said they would mail my package free of charge. This place is just fantastic...

Great if good deal found on GolfNow
First time my husband and I played here. We heard a lot about courses at LaCantera and wanted to try them. We found good deal on GolfNow. Course was in excellent condition for a hot summer day. Good variety of course topography and green challenges. Pace of play was great after we separated from 2 singles paired up with us and one of those guys thought he was on the tour and didn't observe ready golf protocol, really slowing us down for the first 4 holes. The only negative thing I would say is that paying full price here is not worth it. I equate this course with other local courses like Hyatt, Cedar Creek and the Quarry where prices are lower.
Hi BabetteHansen,
Thank you for playing at La Cantera Resort. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your round with us, and the challenges of our greens. We look forward to seeing you back for another round soon.

great course but terrible 19th hole
the course was in great shape staff very friendly but the only thing I didn't like about it is they have no snacks or anything to eat at the bar after 3 p.m. I was not asking for a steak or lobster just a hot dog or nachos heck even a bag of chips would have been nice there 15 other people at the bar that agreed with me. The other golf courses offer food at the bar. And for being a resort they have very small TV's in the bar and way up in the corners you have to twist your body around just to see some sports on there very disappointed with the 19th hole.Dont think I will be going to the bar and grill at the course again La Cantera mall is right across the street with plenty of places to go have a drink and just have a snack.
Hi Raymond,
We are happy to hear you enjoyed your time with us at La Cantera Resort. We are glad you enjoyed the course conditions and our friendly staff. We apologize food was not available after 3:00pm, and we will talk with our team to see if this is something we can change in the future.
We hope to see you back again soon for another round at La Cantera Resort.

Practice green was much faster than course greens
There was some construction but the course was beautiful. Price was reasonable on Golf Now. Our group was glad we played the course and look forward to being able to return. It is a course that you need to know to score well. Some of the trouble is closer or further than you think.
Hi Brinkf,

La Cantera Resort Course is in good shape
The course was in very good condition. Greens were fast and true. The fairways and traps were excellent for this time of year( hot and dry). The only drawback is the noise generated from the ongoing construction at the hotel.
Hi CBenefield,
Thank you for your great comments. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the great conditions. We hope to see you again soon!
Overall Good Shape
La Cantera Resort Course is loaded with great views and a good staff. Bag drop staff is friendly, starters and marshals are helpful and nice. Cart/Beverage girls are around every few holes to keep you refreshed. I just have one bit of advice; DO NOT HIT IT IN THE ROUGH. The Bermuda grass is about 3-4" deep and you cannot find your ball. A resort course should have much shorter and more manageable rough to make the round more enjoyable. The greens and tee boxes are fantastic. Fairways have some burn spots but I'm just nitpicking now. Overall good course. Did I mention not to hit it in the rough?
Too much rough and sanded greens
This is the first time I played La Cantera and was very disappointed with the conditions. I figured(incorrectly) that two weeks after the greens being sanded; that the greens would be pretty decent. Sadly they were not. They were very inconsistent and it made the short game almost impossible. The Tee boxes and fairways were very good although we ran into a lot of muddy and over watered areas, which was odd considering how dry it's been. The rough might have been the thickest I have ever played. We had trouble finding balls a foot off the fairway. It made for a very difficult and unpleasant golf experience. I will have trouble convincing
Myself to want to play here again. The views on this course are second to none but the conditions make it Muni-like!
