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.

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.
Excellent Course
This course was in excellent condition, from tee to green, for the area being in stage 2 water restrictions,
The staff at the club house, on the course, practice facility were very friendly and helpful.
OUTSTANDING experiance
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.
I highly recommend playing this course.
Course was in fantastic condition. Greens were in perfect shape. Super friendly staff.
ect in a pristine environment . We are looking forward to
We thoroughly enjoyed our 18 Holes on the Resort course and found it to be everything we expected.
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 course
I always enjoy playing this cours. I have not played it as much as i want but always in great conditions.
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.
Wonderful experience
Loved the views, very well maintained. Steep pricing though.
Great day of golf
What a treat to get to play this course again. You have the option of valet or self park. All the staff is trained very well to serve. They are very alert and attentive to whatever your needs are. The people in the clubhouse, setting you up in your carts, starter, Marshall. Everyone
Playable for all.
Really enjoyed this course. Played with a variety of handicap levels. Each played the proper tees. Was fun and a fair challenge for all.
Service was excellent.
Has a class system, but nice golf course
Loved the golf course, it had several interesting holes, especially the one that faces the roller coaster. Real fun putting while people are screaming:-)
Got there early as a twosome. When we asked why other twosomes were going out and we weren't added, they said it was based on the discounted rate we paid on line. Not sure I get it. It you're worried about pace of play, why would you hold players back because they paid a rate that you offered to get them to play your course in the first place. Starter was a nice game, but his hands were tied. The 2 singles we played with were fun anyway..
Good condition, staff is very friendly.
I've played this course before, but I always enjoy coming back to it. It was in good condition again, same as it was when I played it a couple of years ago.
beautiful course
a little expensive, would not pay full price. luckily got it less on golf now or else probably would not have played it.
Great Layout, Mediocre Service
This is a beautiful course with a great layout. Every hole is high quality and very interesting. It is a great mix of long and short holes, with reachable par 5's and lengthy par 3's. The views are spectacular, especially number 7, which looks over six flags and from which downtown San Antonio can be seen. The cart all have GPS
On the downside - the greens are not in the best shape, as they are grainy and slow. Considering the quality of the course, the staff is below par, as most are unfriendly and inattentive. I played late in the afternoon on a recent Friday and the pace of play was about 4 1/2 hours; we seemed to wait on every shot. We had to get another cart on number 10 because our battery died, and they charge $5.25 per beer, which is excessive.
Despite these drawbacks, I do recommend the course due to the quality of the layout.
Extremely friendly staff, great course management
This course was in great shape and we enjoyed our round. The staff was extremely friendly and made the round more enjoyable with the outstanding customer service.
