La Cantera Golf Club

The greens are in really bad shape. Really slow. You have to really wack it to both up hill and down! Pace was also somewhat of a problem.

Kind of like a nice muni with average greens. I would be ok if it was around $50 USD. But not $160 for sure.

If the greens were fixed up I would say $100 is a fair price.

Course layout was fun,, needed some help moving along slow play. I loved it and would play there again.

So first the really good. The course is a former host course for the Valero Texas open. A few holes in and it’s easy to see why. I can’t say enough good things about the layout. If you enjoy bombing drives from elevated tee’s ? You’re gonna love this place . There’s several holes to just grip it and rip it and others that you’ve got to be accurate or leave the driver in the bag. We played the day after an insane thunderstorm front rolled through and dropped about 5 inches of rain in some areas. How it was open at all was impressive! The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming! Had a burger and a beer before teeing off that was delicious also!

Now the not so great.

Pace of play was kind of slow. Now granted that’s partially not their fault because as I mentioned, due to the massive storm the night before. It was cart paths only. Which added at least 45 mins to the pace for our foursome. There were four guys in front of us playing a match like it was the masters or something but they let us through on the tenth tee and we never looked back.

The greens ? Very slow but again. I’m certain they had no way to cut them today given the rain from last night, and asi said, it’s huge credit to their staff that the place was open at all with lush green fairways and full, enormous greens.

All in all ? It’s a fantastic track with challenging holes, and a lot of really fun elevated tee shot holes. Big premium on hitting the fairways and I would absolutely go back, in a heartbeat !

Amazing, just an overall wonderful experience, totally recommend.

Will be back very soon.

upon arrival the entire practice green area had a significant lack of turf to hit off of. having an attendant move the practice area back to new grass was needed. if your going to have guests practice off of the grass please make sure there is grass to hit off of.

The layout of the course is just beautiful. The greens were WAY TOO slow. It was a real struggle getting the ball to the hole and reading the greens. I wild love to still play the course again and hopefully the make the greens a little more fair with cutting three grass lower. The rest of the course and the staff were absolutely fantastic!

La Cantera is a venue that has it all. The course is excellent and a challenge for any golfer. The views are beautiful. The staff is first class, and the restaurants at the facility are four star.

We played four courses in San Antonio on a golf trip and this was the best of the bunch. The price was also the steepest by a long shot. The course is truly a great layout and was in the best shape of the courses we played on the trip.

The day we played was really, really windy, so the course played very tough. Even in the difficult conditions, we felt like there was room off the tee and the areas around the green. The greens had been sanded sometime in the past few weeks, so they were slow.

I hate when people spend most of their review saying how good or bad the staff was because the golf course is far more important. In this case though, I think the staff deserves a shoutout. They were super friendly from start to finish and they added to the experience.

TPC was closed down for the Texas Open while we were here, so I can't compare to those tracks, but La Cantera is very nice and you will enjoy yourself.

The greens had just been too dressed and were slow.

Only complaint was hot dog buns were really dry. Everything was 5 star.

The Marshalls and starter were extremely helpful.

Pro shop staff most helpful. Course in excellent shape. Rate of play great. Would love to play again if ever in this area.

150 in the afternoon doesn't justify the course conditions. Def dry and dormant this time of year I get it, but won't be rushing back for that rate..

Overall a cool layout and good scenery.

Course was fun and fair with challenging elevation changes and side slopes. First class practice area with new Callaway balls. Staff was friendly and well trained. Greens were mid sized with challenging undulations. Smooth and well maintained. Fairways for the most part were full and firm with just a few small areas were standing water had damaged the grass. 5 tee boxes available so pick your length. The rough was really not an issue unless you were way off then watch out for the rattle snakes! Bunkers were perfect with clean uniform sand. Only improvement would be fringe areas around most of the greens were getting a little sparse making finesse chip shots difficult. I would play here again.

The course has not recovered from the greens dying off in large spots. Not all greens suffered. Around the greens suffered also though. Hopefully they will recover soon. Staff are great and friendly. I would have played another course if I would have known that they had problems with their greens.
