Greens were absolute trash, they said it was aerated to give a slight discount but in reality it should have cost $50 or less to play here. They waited till we were at the tee box to tell us the greens had fallen into disrepair but tried to act like they were still playable, it was like concrete with the occasional lump of grass to throw your ball offline or into the air. Wouldn’t play here again.

Mr. Robinson,

Thank you for playing La Cantera recently and providing feedback. Our greens are struggling right now as you mentioned due to the timing of a fertility application. This was not predicted but the greens will be much better in the near future. Hopefully you enjoyed the conditions of the rest of the course. Thank you again.

Greens are ruined. They won’t get better this year. Your putt will bounce All over the place.

Thank you for playing and the comment. We acknowledge the greens are not good like the rest of the course. Please know, this was caused from a chemical application unforeseen. The greens are not ruined and should be significantly improved in the next 3-5 weeks. Hopefully you will consider playing La Cantera again in the future. Thank you again for the feedback.

Bad shape

The sad thing about this course is for the price you pay it should be the nicest course here in San Antonio. At this moment it is by far the worst option due to the greens. They should shut the course, rip up all the greens and redo all of them and be closed until they can get them in decent playing condition. I will not go back for a while after seeing how bad they were. Pretty sad due to the prices they try and charge for a round. Might be worth it if the round was $20 but geez it’s not worth paying anything over that.

They should shut it down!

Greens are the worst I’ve ever seen anywhere. All of them are completely trashed. Not worth it if it’s free!

Greens were in terrible shape

The greens were in terrible shape. Seemed they were dried out and poorly maintained. This is a course I play often and I have never had a bad experience. If I was told about this prior to the round, I would not write this review. But unfortunately the staff failed to mention anything about it. I have never played on greens that were this terrible. I wouldn’t be upset if the round was 30 bucks but for almost 90 I find it a little unacceptable. I will definitely play again but not until the greens are shown a little TLC. I will also have an issue sending my customers from my resort to go play the course.

Thank you for the feedback. The greens are showing progress but are still not up to par with our standards. They should be recovered in 3-5 weeks. Thank you again.

Course not ready to play yet

As other reviewers stated , the greens are currently almost unplayable. A beautiful layout but the condition of the greens really ruins the experience. They have a long way to go before they get back to where they need to be ! We played The Quarry and The Bandit after this course and both were in very nice shape !

Worst green ever at this course

Crazy to charge premium price when there is no green or grass on the putting green. Played round without having to putt. I felt cheated.

Greens need some work.

The greens were unacceptable.. We have recently played courses around San Antonio that are half the price and are in much better condition. I was really disappointed to pay that much for golf and the greens be in such poor shape. Don't waste your money and play here, until they repair the greens.

Greens were AWFUL

Course set up and staff were awesome! BUT, had I known ahead of time about the conditions of the green, I wouldn’t even think of playing here. It was like putting on colored dirt. We played 3 other courses that had great greens and wasn’t close to price of this. We were offered 15% off but it should’ve been more. Hopefully next time they will be better.

Could be great course

The staff from bag drop to wrapping up was very attentive. Driving range was solid could use bigger chipping area. Tee boxes provided every level an appropriate challenge. Fairways were hard with no grass to slow ball down. Combined with slope middle of fairway drive rolled out of bounds a couple times. Painting the fairways and maybe greens is pointless. Be who you are. Greens were rock hard also. They rolled ok.but not great as I played the best greens ever the next day at a different course. Overall the elevation changes made for beautiful scenic and sculpted holes throughout the course. Maybe warmer wetter weather will bring natural green and sufficient grass to the course making it a top resort course like it could be.
