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.

Fun layout
I played this course while vacationing in San Antonio. The course had a few very fun short par 4 holes, including one with an elevated tee hitting toward the roller coasters of the neighboring Six Flags. Conditions were great - being mid summer, the course played firm with a lot of roll. The course was set up to be relatively easy and golfer-friendly - I would have preferred a few more challenging holes. Overall, a nice resort course that I was able to play at a reasonable rate.
