Probably the best roller coaster in the area

I've played the Resort course at La Cantera many times, all the way back to my high school days when it was still the host of the Texas Open. It will always have that cool factor for me.

But all these years later I still find it's a super enjoyable golf course, full of (literal) ups and downs and some really memorable shots.

You don't get much more memorable than the short par 4 where the tee box gives you a vista of many of the rides at Fiesta Texas. Why ride a roller coaster that lasts 60 seconds, when you can play the Resort course?

The whole experience at La Cantera is fantastic and both courses are worthy of your time in San Antonio.

Awesome Course

Everything about this course is excellent, ( a bit pricey) but overall a great experience, we would play here every weekend if it was a little less expensive. Fairways are in great shape, green on hole #7 is in bad shape, but all the rest are in perfect condition, very fast but role true.

Fabulous round of golf

The pro shop and start her staff were exceptionally friendly and very knowledgeable. We are fortunate enough to get out early on this particular day and we’re not paired with anyone. Teeboxes,, fairways and greens were in great shape. Green speed average. Nice elevation changes, A very pretty course, cart girl , snack shack, bathrooms all available. A nice course for low and high handicappers .A must play when you’re in the San Antonio area. Would love to play this course again as well as the sister course ~Palmer course. Would definitely come back to play again..

Not worth your money

These greens were the absolute worst I’ve ever played anywhere and I’ve played at some rough places. The course itself had a cool design. The pace of play was awful, multiple parties stacked waiting on every hole on a Friday afternoon. Ended up leaving on the 13th hole, couldn’t take it anymore.

Great course

Great course. Lots of elevation. Challenging but fun. To bad there was a slow group that slowed down about four groups behind them. Golfers please be considerate and play to 4hrs.
