Love the views. Staff is super polite!

Wide open fairways make this course a joy to play, but be careful as there are many well placed bunkers to make you pay should you choose to take risks. A wide range of tee boxes to challenge golfers of all handicaps. The staff is top notch and some of the nicest people you'll ever encounter.

Challenging layout with a lot of great features.

After playing this course I can fully understand why it was home to a PGA tour event. It requires careful shot placement and shows no quarter on a missed shot. The greens were smooth and consistent, but pretty tough to read correctly. There are a lot of elevation changes, sloped fairways and well placed bunkers to demand your "A" game. The signature hole, a short par 4 was nicely laid out and came with the added bonus of roller coaster views in the background. The staff was very friendly and quite helpful. Overall a really good course that is worth the play. I do, however have a few negatives from the experience to share. First, the clubhouse restaurant only offered breakfast tacos, at 10:30 AM. The main room just up the hill was serving a buffet. it was quite pricey, yet sparse in selection and quality. My second negative is that this is one of the feature resort courses of the area that commands a premium price and yet they do not overseed the fairways to keep the "A" quality conditions you expect from a course of this stature. I suggest waiting for the warmer months to play this course.

A real joy

From the tee box to the green, this course is first rate. The greens are moderate to challenging. Sand traps are well maintained - if you happen to experience them. Overall, one of the best courses in San Antonio.

Watch your belongings

My rangefinder was taken from my cart at the practice range. There was lots of staff, only 5 players including me and I played with 4 of them. The Proshop didn't seem concerned. I was out $300 and frustrated the rest of the day. Fair warning don't let them have access to your stuff.

The setup is great

This course has great views, A course like this where a PGA event used to be played. They should overseed the fairways and greens, some greens were fast and some were slow, no one in our group could get the speed of the greens right, all of us were 2 -5 handicap. The price was right, booking on golfnow.

Fun and beautiful

We found the course challenging, as it being a previous PGA tour site. Some holes you need to be cautious about laying up and some have a elevated tee where it is bombs away! The views are spectacular and we enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Being a municipal course frequenter, it was nice having car side bag service, so bring extra cash for tips. Definitely recommend

Great course

This is a great course, I always love both coarses at La Cantera but usually feel a little better about my swing after playing the resort course. And you have to love hitting into a canyon next to roller coasters.

This course is a great place to play!

This course is a fantastic place to play. The staff is the best around. From the second we pulled in to the time they brought us our truck, it was all about us. I've played several courses in and around San Antonio and this was by far the best so far! The course it self was just amazing!! Breath taking views and amazing greens just set the tone for a great day. I work at a golf course and I tried to find defects but came up empty handed. This is a course I can't wait to play again. The course isn't so challenging that an average player couldn't handle it. There are some deceiving greens that will certinly make you be on your "A" game though! I will defintly recomend this course to every golfer I know!

Fun layout

I played this course while vacationing in San Antonio. The course had a few very fun short par 4 holes, including one with an elevated tee hitting toward the roller coasters of the neighboring Six Flags. Conditions were great - being mid summer, the course played firm with a lot of roll. The course was set up to be relatively easy and golfer-friendly - I would have preferred a few more challenging holes. Overall, a nice resort course that I was able to play at a reasonable rate.
