Not worth the expense

After paying $177 to play 18 holes, I had to pay an additional $38 for my wife to ride around with me. Not like they were short on carts due to fact there were only maybe a dozen people playing. Hardly saw anyone on the course. Not worth $215 for a round at an old resort.

Fore!

The course is in great shape. It is a great and tough track. I was pleased with the course. The pace of play was SLOW, nearly 5 hour round! This is not what I expected for this caliber of a course.

La Cantera is Spectacular!

Greens were outstanding and the course was in magnificent shape for late August. Pace was a little slow and marshall was no help.

La Cantera first time

Really nice layout. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Only critique is a lot of ongoing maintenance and machinery noises while we were playing. But that tells you they take care of the course!

Long-Time Patron, Short on Respect, Disheartening Service

During my last round on 8-19-2024 Monday 8:30am tee time.I was very disappointed with the way the starter handled my request to move up my tee time. The course was wide open, with very few players ahead of me, so I asked if I could move my tee time up( just 20 minutes ahead of my tee time), something I've done many times in the past when the course isn't busy. But this time, both the starter and the pro shop staff member claimed that because my tee time was booked as a 'Hot Deal' on GolfNow, it couldn’t be moved. Their attitude was dismissive, and they offered no flexibility, which was surprising given my history of playing here.In all the years I've played here, the staff has always been flexible and willing to move up my tee time when the course was quiet, regardless of how I booked. This new, rigid stance felt unfair and out of line with the excellent service I've come to expect from this course. I left the course at 8:10am( didn’t play). It's unfortunate when loyal customers are treated with such inflexibility, especially when the course is not busy.

Great Resort Course

I was fortunate enough to get an early tee time for just myself. I was paired with another single but they allowed us to each have our own cart. We were able to complete the round in 3:15. The course had been aerated earlier in the week so expected it to be in worse condition but it was actually in pretty good condition. The greens were a bit sandy making it hard to read and determine the proper speed. However, these greens were. still in better shape than some other courses I've played. It is really a beautiful course!

A bit disappointing

I play this course a few times/year, so I know what to expect when it comes to their high green fees- there are many other courses in San Antonio that are a better value. This time around, however, was particularly disappointing.

The greens were uncharacteristically slow and the tee boxes were in terrible shape. The bunkers were also inconsistent. For a course seeking $150-$200 for greens fees, even in the afternoons, that is sub par.

Given the current conditions, $60-$70 would be more appropriate.

That said, you can always rely on good service, nice carts, generally good pace of play, and a fun layout at this course.

If you have never played here before, you should, but look for a rate below $150. There are too many other great courses in the area that don’t charge nearly this much- this is a $100 green fee max in my mind, unless the course is in perfect condition, which it is not.

Thank you for playing La Cantera and providing your feedback. Our tee boxes have struggled transitioning from winter rye this summer and we are in the process of agronomic practices to restore the weaker tee boxes. We hope you will come back in the near future.

Great review! I agree with you 100%. Like you, I play there a few times a year..... and most recently played last Friday (5 July). I was a little disappointed as well. The course is better than most in the area but currently, it's certainly not worth the $175 that I paid. Way more blemishes than I expected.

As always.... the staff and facilities are Top-Notch!!
