La Cantera Resort

Conditions of course good during range quite beat up. Pace was reasonably good but group in front constantly prodded to speed up as they were behind 30+ minutes but never picked it up. Greens good shape but had difficulty reading them.

I have played the La Cantera resort course about a dozen times in my life. It is a great course and a must for visitors to San Antonio that want a great golf experience. The staff is always friendly and courteous. Other than have a real slow group in front of us for the round (marshal did warn group about 5 times but did not help), the experience was wonderful as always! VIews are great!! One of my top 2 favorite courses in San Antonio!

I have fond memories of this day as it was my best ever round in competitive golf. But don't let that fool you, while this course is not as difficult as the Palmer course, it is still a tricky layout. I have shot a wild range of scores here from excellent to poor!

The course is an absolute picture and offers nice views of the surrounding hill country and the neighboring six flags fiesta theme park.

As for the course, I played off the gold tees I believe and if you are accurate with your driver you can score well here. There are many elevation changes, and therefore plenty of shots where you cannot see your landing area, or have to adjust your club to hit a target 50 yards below your feet.

The par fives are tight, but short, and do require accurate tee shots to allow you to shoot for the greens in 2. Hole 10 is a perfect example, with a good tee shot you can reach the front part of the green with a mid to long iron.

But it's not always a case of pulling out the driver. The par 4 12th places a premium on accuracy off the tee with a narrow front to back green requiring good distance control with your approach. With a ditch in front and bunker back, you don't want to make a mistake.

The entire field I was playing with had difficulty reading the greens - they were extremely grainy. The old trick of looking at the wear around the hole was a great help to me.

All around a great time, definitely worth the money. And even tho I'm a local and I could "play this course all the time" if I wanted its definitely an experiance to say the least.

If your considering it, dont. Just go play this course and have fun!

Considering the recent hot temperatures and lack of rain, the course was in great shape. The greens had some sand (I assume from recent maintenance) but wwere in good shape and rolled true at a medium speed.

Beautiful golf course and former site of the Texas Open. I played the sister Palmer Course the day before, and I found that course to be a step above. Challenging layout, if you aren’t in the fairway prepare to take a penalty. The greens were replaced within the last year and were sand packed leading to inconsistent speed and bumpiness issues. Unfortunately, I got paired up with a group that liked to re-hit every shot leading to a 5.5 hour round. I would play again but likely choose the Palmer Course if I had to pick one.

Played her last week for 3 days and absolutely loved it. So much better than the Palmer course, which I would totally avoid. I stayed at the JW Marriott, which wanted $225 to play the courses in 100 degree heat. I've played them both several times, not worth it.

La Cantera Resort has lots of elevation (I walk all the courses i play, this is probably one of the toughest walks). The layout was really interesting, but in a good way. The course is in front of you, so no hidden or blind shots. A really great course.

The restaurant (254) was outstanding, the food was great and the beer selection is the best I've seen at a golf course.

The Resort Course is a test of all aspects of your golf game. Some holes are great for “bombers” of the tee while other holes require precise yardage off the tee to set up your approach to the green. The elevated greens will test your iron game adding a little pressure to your short game, getting up and down around the greens. The marshals do a great job with pace of play and the rest of the course staff was very professional and courteous. La Cantera also provides plenty of variety for your 19th hole happy hour and dinning pleasure.

All parts of the course are in great shape from tee to green. The layout is challenging with plenty of risk-reward opportunities for skilled and recreational level as well. Practice facilities, pro shop, staff and the 19th hole were all top-shelf. Excellent value and a real treat, especially in this part of summer when many courses struggle with conditions.

The Marshall allowed me to get behind a tournament where players were playing for $$$$. After 30 minutes and one hole completed I called to complain. They did allow me to move to the back nine. No course should allow 6 hour rounds and a tournament like this without closing the course.

I loved the layout, greens were really fast and very challenging. I used almost every club in my bag and I loved it. 100% recommend this course.

I always love playing La Cantera when I'm in the San Antonio area. Never disappointed.
