Rating 72.5

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.

Felt the price was little high for conditions. Many areas where equipment drove through soft areas tearing up the course. Lots of ground repairs happening which is needed due to damage

It was our first time in San Antonio. La Cantera was recommended to us by a colleague. We thoroughly enjoyed the course, and all amenities. We enjoyed it so much, that we booked to play there again the following day. The staff were all amazing! Highly recommend this course!!

Wonderful find while visiting area

Played a spontaneous round after finding tee time on Golf Now app. Wonderful experience from bag boy greeting and assistance in Parking lot to check-in to starter to staff in the turn snack shed. Was a cold and windy day but every staff interaction was exceptional. Course was in very good shape for a cold January day. Greens were very good for weather and time of year. Fun layout. Will be back whenever in the area.

Course conditions were great!

This course was in great shape with an amazing layout. The only negative was pace of play. We had a group of five that were playing from the wrong tees for their skill level. It took just short of five hours. I wish the course marshal would have sped them up. It was still a great course!
