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.

Course conditions were great. Unfortunately, 1 1/2” of rain in the prior 24 hours led to cart path only. There are not very many yardage markers so we were often caught without the proper club, and the cat was 70-80 yards away!

Great morning at La Cantera

Great views, challenging course layout, and great conditions. In the middle of a probably one of the hottest summers that I remember the course was still in great condition. The sand was soft, fluffy, and playable, much different then some of the other courses in the area. Very well maitiained course. I would go again.

Excellent course

One of the best public tracks in the San Antonio area. Wide fairways, large greens, and scenic views. Pricey but worth it.

Course great, Staff not so much

Let me say I’ve played here a dozen times and I love the course. The problem is always the same, the staff needs to go to other courses of the same level and get a clue on what an enjoyable golf round should be. The pace of play is slow for an easy layout and always takes over 4 hours but when we have no one slowing us down we finish in 3 hrs 15 min. On this day we did not have ice in our cooler & were told to ask the cart girl; it was over 100 degree out. When we did see her she seemed annoyed and gave us a few cups. Not enough to fill our cooler. This course used to be a gem, now it’s just decent but overpriced for the experience.
