All in One Place

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.

Best Course We Played in San Antonio

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.

Will be back

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

The Marshalls and starter were extremely helpful.

Staff Friendly and Good Layout

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.

Fun and Fair

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.

Course is laid out great.

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.

Thank you for playing and providing the feedback. We did have a few areas on several greens on the back nine with winter damage. We will be restoring those areas in the near future, and look forward to them being on the level with the rest of the golf course conditions.

Not Worth the Money

I was extremely excited to play this course when visiting San Antonio, TX during February 2023. I have played other courses like TPC facilities and PGA National. This course simply does not compare to the others. Fairways and greens were painted green in more than just a few areas (literally on every hole) and the greens were really slow. For a facility that closed one course (Palmer) to keep the other course (Resort) up to the standards of Tour expectations (their words, not mine), it is no wonder why this isn't a stop for the professionals any longer. A fair price for this course would be approximately $80.

At Least Play it Once

Fairways were in good condition this time of year. Greens were in good condition but difficult to read and putt consistently. I mean if you’re in San Antonio and you love golf, just get it over with and play it. It cost more than than maybe the overall value you get. However, it’s still a nice layout, still has the nostalgia of having a PGA event there before.

Heckled By Marshal

Played here multiple times and never had an issue until now. Our foursome was only 7 minutes behind pace, which is usual for a resort course such as this. Marshal came onto our green, mid putt, interrupted and told us to hurry up. For as much as you pay at a resort course, it was a very frustrating experience and left us all upset through the reminder of the round. I told the Clubhouse and nothing was done about it, "we'll take your comment into consideration." Don't feel the need to give my money to this course again. Only finished 4 minutes behind pace after all was said and done.

Just an idea

I understand tee times are meant for groups of 2-4 to maximize efficiency and singles cannot reserve them alone. The system will automatically try to set you up with a group of 2-3. Hopefully you can set a time on off peak days (Mon-Thu) around noon where a single person can reserve a tee time. It can even be 1 day before or on the same day so singles can't take up tee time slots more than 2 days away. I think this is a good idea to at least try out. There are a number of people who want to play a round alone and finish in 2.5 hours in order to do other things during the day. Thank you for your consideration.

Alamo Bowl Trip

Husky Football fans from Seattle, flew into SA for Alamo Bowl, and La Cantera was recommended to us. Did not disappoint and exceed expectations. AA lost our golf bags, but the staff helped us out with rentals, balls/markers, and extra TLC. Very friendly staff in clubhouse, on course marshals, and in restaurant. Course was in great shape and made for a great round. Would come back frequently, if possible!
