La Cantera Resort - The Palmer Course

I booked a foursome for 18 holes. we got there and was told the back 9 was under construction and we only booked 9 holes.We could play the front 9 twice if we paid another $20.00 on top of the $50.00 we already paid. perhaps my mistake but the website was very confusing. On hold forever when trying to rectify with your customer service department.. Not happy! reconsidering renewing our contract.

I had the pleasure of playing the Palmer Course which was challenging but very fun. Palmer design this course for golfers just like him that ball flight goes from left to right so most of the fairways you have a lot of forgiveness on the right side. I played this course on Friday and had so much fun I ended up coming back on Sunday. the entire staff was extremely friendly and made me feel welcomed as if I was at home I will definitely be back and will definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to have fun!

After a month of no rain it is understandable why the course is beat up. Most of the bermuda rough is burnt from ryre grass that hung on until the drought.

Bunkers are horrible.. The little sand that is in them is cheap masonry sand.

Fairways decent, greens too.

Troon used to keep premium courses in great shape. Very sad to see them let this one go downhill

The Resort Course is much nicer, and better maintained. If I could say anything I would say if the resort course had the greens from the Palmer course it would be a perfect course. It’s a shame that a course designed by Arnold Palmer gets neglected like this. The fairways are rock hard, with dead spots of grass all over, one of the Tee boxes was covered in crab grass, the bunkers were mostly hard packed sand. I hate to say it but The Quarry is in MUCH better shape than the Palmer Course. Kind of sad when this is supposed to be a fancy resort course. If you play at La Cantera don’t waste your money on this one. Go play the Resort Course instead.

First time user of this app and it all worked out great. They put me in the first group and we were a three some. As such, we finished in just over 3 hours. Staff is ver nice. Range only allows irons which was disappointing. Most of the course is very challenging but fair. The rough is deceptively thick and will grab your clubs. Not a problem if you stay in the fairway!!

Several of the greens were pretty scarred which was also disappointing. They were not even fair to put on.

Overall it was a good time. I would like to come back in the Fall when the heat is not a factor..

Honestly not worth the cost due to bunkers and greens

It was a great day. I choose to play the jade boxes. I was disappointed when the only jade box in front was the first tee box, the jades were all behind the copper boxes which made the course much longer then I wanted to play.

Great course with a friendly staff. Bunkers need work but I don’t play too much it of them.

The views on this course are truly stunning. I couldn't possibly say too many good things about the layout and conditions. Although the course was pretty wet because it had rained very, very hard the day before (and the morning of), the course drained well and was much more playable than most courses would be. The layout is very challenging and interesting, with several holes hitting 50-100 feet up and downhill. Would not miss the chance to play this again.

Scenic, elevation changes, excellent conditions, carts with state of the art GPS and a four hour pace of play. We will be back.

Many of the tee shots require placement, you don’t need a driver off many tees. The greens were fair for June in Texas, and the fairways were manicured well. Great views all the way around

Amazing course.

Great condition for greens, fairway and rough. Greens at 9 on stimp meter. Could be faster, but they are true. But the bunkers are bad, very bad, Very hard pack soil under a very thin layer of sand. Club is bouncing every time.

Fantastic course in overall great shape

Rack rate maybe a little high but I do recommend

Great views

Minuses : bunkers were unplayable due to heavy rains a few days prior

Practice putting green not up to par
