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.

Above Average Course

There was a slight rain all day and the course played long. But I would to come back on a day without the rain to give it an honest assessment of the course. I would only play it again if I could get the Hot Deal on golf now I paid. My experience was not worth the $125 regular greens fee.

Beautiful views and interesting layout.

It seemed as though this course needed some TLC but it just may be summer in Texas. Enjoyed the course, staff extremely helpful and friendly.

Absolutely Fabulous

It's been several years since I've played this course. Got a great deal from Golf Now. The course was in great shape. Greens a little slower than they look but still good. Excellent super friendly staff. Regret not having played sooner. Fantastic views and memories of the Texas Open. Will be back.

Drought effects can be seen. Greens in good shape. Marshalls did a great job keeping groups ahead moving. Fun topography and views of Fiesta Texas.

Just ok

Greens were a little slower than expected. Fairways had a few brown spots on them, but it is August in texas. It's only worth it if you don't have to pay the full green fee. Still a fun course.

The course was in great shape and fun to play.

The fairways and greens were in great shape. They had plenty of water stations and a drink cart to help with how hot it was. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Great course, fairways and greens are in great shape

Course played great, staff was friendly, had water coolers filled which is a great thing with the Texas heat. Greens ran true and fairways were lush.

The course was in really good shape.

I was extremely pleased with the course condition and the professionalism of the entire staff. This was my son's first visit and he was absolutely thrilled to play a prior PGA Tour course. We are already planning a return trip.

Great Views, Great Shape

Course is in great shape even though the rough is a little long for the average player. Definitely rewards the play in the fairway. Most fairways are wide and the greens are in great shape. Some great views and some fun holes on this course.

Well maintained faiways and greens

I only rated it 4 stars because I felt it was less challenging and enjoyable as its sister course, the Palmer Course. None the less, it was in great shape was a very enjoyable play. Pace of play was good in the afternoon and it only cost $64. To me, it was a great value. The only other con was that I spent more in refreshments than I did in greens fees.

Never seen the greens so beat up and dry.

After SA has had over a foot of rain in the past month, don't quite understand how the greens at the Resort Course can look like something found at WIllow Springs.

Fantastic views.

This was an enjoyable day from the starter to the guys cleaning the clubs after the round. Pace of play was not bad. Each time we got to the tee box we had to stop and take in the beautiful views. There were many blind shots and quite a few holes you had to hit your spots in the fairway to reach the green.
