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.

One of the best in SA

Considering the drought we're going thru in San Antonio this is one of the few courses that still manage to keep the fairways and greens in excellent condition, As always awesome staff and great facilities. Definitely recommend it.

Poor service

The course was fine but don't get hotdogs on the way to the 5th hole. Girl served them completely cold, got attitude when asked for a sandwich instead , then screwed up the register keeping me from returning back to golf for 10 extra minutes.

La Cantera Resort Course

Great course. Used to hold the Texas Open, before the TPC San Antonio was built. Loads of elevation changes, no 2 holes feel the same. Riding is recommended as the tee boxes and greens are not close together. Bring plenty of balls and watch out for rattle snakes if you go in the woods searching for an errant shot....

Big Miss! Terrible Shape

Think the title says it all. Don't waste your time and money unless your a hacker. Greens are terrible conditions along with tee boxes. Pace of play to slow for my pleasure as well. Lower the price by 1/2 price and call it a muny course!

Very Challenging, greens have some issues with disease or browning

Overall great late afternoon round. The staff was their usual outstanding selves. Drop your bag, it's ready in your cart after you visit the pro shop. Starter comes and gets you when it's time to tee off. The greens were ok. There seems to be a disease or something causing browning but didnt affect play. Great price for twilight/late afternoon round.

Nice course

Very nice course when you get a great rate on golfnow.com. Watch out for the Bermuda greens, the grain really influences your putts. Just because you hit the greens in regulation does not guarantee par. No. 17 green has a few bad spots, but shouldn't create too many problems. Tough but very fair course if you use proper course management. Don't get too greedy, you will pay the price.

Beautiful Layout

I had been hearing how nice this course played as compared to their other course The Palmer so I decided to see for myself and was very pleased. The practice facilities are very nearby to the clubhouse so I didn't have to drive a quarter mile to hit on the range and the putting greens were well kept. The course itself was in pretty great condition overall. The fairways were actually very bouncy and forgiving while a majority of the greens looked nice as well. However on about 4 greens they had very bad sun marks which just meant that you had to put through a desert. The elevated tees on multiple holes was a lot of fun considering that its fairly rare around San Antonio to find tee boxes that they raise anymore than 20 feet above ground level. Overall it was a great experience on a new course.

Course could be better

Caught a great price at $62 w/tax and course was in great shape. Had just rained a few days prior so was very alive and played well. Practice/warm up facilities are great even with the amount of traffic that was going through the course that day. Staff is alright but try to regulate too much. Had 3 marshals on the course all day to ensure you kept up pace but at the Palmer they just ask if you've played before and let play regulate it's self. Bunkers are the toughest part of the course but made it a very fun challenge. Would say that it's worth paying 70-85 bucks max not over 100 and especially not in the summer because the greens will turn into glass. Overall experience was good but price is far too high.

La Cantera Resort

The driving range was closed due to it being a little muddy. It seemed more like an excuse then an actual problem. They didn't want to be inconvenienced.

Course was in good shape for the most part. 17's green was pretty burnt out however. Overall it's a great corse but a little pricey IMO.

Great Shape

Well, the 2 1/2" of rain put this classic hill country style track in great shape. A former Texas Open site. This track never disappoints. Great twilight specials after 2 right now.

LaCantera Golf Course Resort

Overall the golf course was really good the only problem was with the ranger when he asked us to pick it up and there was 1 person playing infront and 1 person playing behind our foursome. Not really ideal to play faster than 1 person but besides that the golf course was great.
