La cantera resort

La cantera is challenging for all players of any skill level. We had a horrendous downpour and the course held up under these conditions. The greens still rolled true. I got a $45 rate I cannot justify paying more for green fees unless it’s a TPC or pebble, spyglass etc. great value and service thanks to the staff for being very accommodating.

Hill Country Golf

The Resort course is a nice version of Hill country golf. Many holes have some major elevation changes and for visitors this is a great “views” and “awe” course. The La Cantera provides some of the best conditioning around town short of the TPC so always expect a nice round of golf. Unfortunately, my foursome were stuck behind a twosome of beginner golfers and our round lasted 4:45. Great course, great track. Go play, enjoy the roller coaster ride.

Course is in good shape for the winter. A couple tee boxes are showing winter wear. Greens are great and rolling well.

Great resort course

A great course with a few tricky holes that require attention and skills and a few others that are relatively easy and should allow some birdies. The greens were perfect. A very balanced course in terms of difficulty, scenery, and skills. I strongly recommend it.

Typical resort course

Great course. Great conditions. Green were immaculate. Challenging but fun. Normally cost excess of 100 dollars to play here so when I saw a Sunday tee time for 40 I snatched it up. Was a really fun round. Will definitely be back if I can find a great price like that.

Great course

Amazing staff and course was fantastic. Lots of short par 4’s that make for a fun round and also amazing views from elevated tees. Greens were extra fast and a number of holes were placed right in a slope. So that was a little to much and a guy in my fourSome who is a 3 handicap and plays this course a lot thought the placement was bad on a number of holes. Overall really great course. I got a special price on golf now but it is worth the full price also as it is great course. Just be ready for super quick greens and bring your A game putting.

Excellent course for all levels of players

Excellent course, recommend playing from the right tee boxes if its your first time. The greens are in excellent conditions, but they roll at a pace that if you are not careful you could putt off the green. They are new greens, if you attack the greens you could find your ball over the greens on the back. Overall I look forward to playing there again. I play the Palmer course in the past, but enjoyed this course much better. By the way, I shot a 88 after three putting five greens.

Great but very challenging green

The course is in excellent shape my only issue was the green were perfect but my reading and putting did not measure up. I love this course a must play when in San Antonio.

Wonderful course, yet humbleing!

The 4 Amigos gathered for our first go at LaCantera resort course. What a beautiful layout, and the staff and ammenities are top shelf! Send mama to the spa, pack the ice chest, get the camera, and tee it up!

From the moment we dropped our arsenal of overly expensive and overly analyzed clubs for this type of course, we were met by the friendliest staff from check in to the 19th hole. The starter met us on the practice green and gave us all the course tips you could ask for if you were a first time victim of this course. The tee to green conditions were excellent, and the greens were excellent, running 12 downhill and 10.5 uphill. There lies the delimma!! Figuring that out!

We're pretty good golfers, but take a word of advice. Walk around your putt!!! Maybe it's the recent possibility of shifting magnetic north and south poles, but there were a LOT of 3 putts! By the 10th hole, we were lag putting 15 footers! Maybe it was the bloody Mary's? If you plan to play again, take notes on the greens!

Overall, it was a wonderful day, and can't wait to play La Cantera resort course again! I know I left 10 strokes in the greens, and I'm going back to claim my 75!

We played in January, and course conditions were very good. I can only imagine playing this course when its plush and in pristine condition! Don't pass this course up!

Thanks to everyone at La Cantera. It was a great day!

Great Round of Golf.."BUT"

Course was in great shape for this time of year. Greens are lightning fast but track very true!

Was very surprised they let us go so early with a MAJOR frost problem! All the holes from 1-4 had ice on the flagstick and frozen grass all around! Once in the sunshine it was very good shape! Love the Bermuda greens rolled and painted green.!

Sand traps in excellent shape and raked to perfection. Just had to try out a few to many of them!

Excellent staff and great breakfast. Great time for the price in the winter!
