The course is in great shape.

Nothing bad to say about this course. Had a great time. The greens are true, fairways are in great shape.

Overall an overall good course, but not worth $100+ a round.

Without the Hot Deal I probably wouldn't play the course again. It just isn't worth $100+ for each round. The layout is interesting and fun, the greens are challenging to putt and your approach needs to be near the flag. The greens were in overall good condition, however the fringe and short grass around the greens needed work. They don't even verticut cut around the edge or keep the weeds under control. In one instance I was forced to putt over a poorly repaired sod repair on the green that wasn't marked GUR. The fairways are fairly consistent with a few sparse places. The views are nice and the best part of the course. Having the GPS in the cart surely helps as distance control is important off the tee. Overall a decent and interesting course that allows for low rounds provided your approach to the green is working that day. I would play maybe once or twice a year at the maximum. Without the Hot Deal I would probably go elsewhere.

Must play

We played in the rain and drizzel. Course stayed playable throughout round. Excellent drainage. Tge new greens were fast and firm. They rolled true and were a good challenge. I will definitely play again when next in san Antonio.

Wonderful Course

One of the very best golf courses in Texas. Pristine conditions. Interesting layout. Greens were fast, smooth and undulating. Look forward to a return.

Love the Resort Course!

The Resort course this past Saturday was my 2nd time playing it and it was fantastic again! The greens were a very good speed, probably running somewhere around 10-11, which is great in south Texas in the summer. Too many courses leave their greens far too long to protect against burnout. The pin placements were a bit suspect but overall it was a great day at La Cantera!

Enjoyable, challenging course layout

We simply had a great round. Not so much score wise, but the overall professionalism from the bag drop greeter to the the fairway maintanence employee (who actually applauded my playing partner on a particularially difficult shot), each person we met was very respectful of our time and either shut down a lawn mower or stopped their cart when we attempted a shot. I personally have played some higher end courses whose employees seemed to care more about getting through the rough with their mower than the patron who is actually there trying to enjoy their round. Thanks ever so much for the enjoyable time.

Hot day at the Resort Course...

I've played the Resort Course countless times as a SA resident but figured its time for a 2018 mid-season review. With the course shut down nearly all fall of 2017 and parts of this year I have been expecting at some point for this course to return to glory. Unfortunately, for the price-tag the Resort Course still leaves much to be desired. The greens currently are shaggy and at the same time burned out in places. Collars on the greens are not being maintained it seems. Fairways are fair. Cartpaths still have giant curbs most of the way and nearly break your carts axel getting on and off the course (make sure your head covers are on the woods or you'll be scratching those guys up!). Additionally, the patrons of the course seem to be just as rough around the edges these days. In the last couple outings at the Resort Course I've seen golfers with jeans on, shirts untucked and a guy so drunk he was doing "sand angels" in a bunker. Today, I didn't witness anything crazy but felt it needs to be said for a course that is suppose to be one of the prestigious ones in the city. Anyway, in my mind the course will always be a great layout and will always provide a "good round" with nice views of the city with resort level amenities. The staff outside at the bag drop and marshalls were great - 10/10 jobs! The pro-shop guys/gals could provide more of greeting and honestly should be upselling merchandise (nobody has said anything about replay specials, new hats/gloves/clothes etc. in any of the last ~10 rounds or so at the resort). Every course across the country needs to increase revenue - if you can't get more rounds in you better be selling stuff out of the shop! All in all, I do love this place and just want it to be the best it can be!

Resort Course @ La Cantera

The course re-opened 6 months ago after a redo of the greens and bunkers. Course is currently in great shape especially the greens. Played on a Saturday and was done in under 4 hours. The staff is very engaged and extremely friendly. The starter escorted us from the range to the first tee and have us some valuable tips for course navigation.

Very nice

Great course, very nice views. The staff was great and course was in great shape but the greens were very hard. I am from out of town and was paired with some locals who gave me hints. I would recommend this course.

Nice views and challenging holes

I was disappointed that after the course was improved not much changed. The 18th finishing hole is a great disappointment compare to other beautiful holes. The bar area was totally being remodeled so it was disappointing that we had to go two miles to find the 19th hole at a restaurant in the area.

I took my son to play what I thought was a first class course. The condition of the greens were terrible.

The cart boy was rude.

It was my son and grandson (6 years old) on one cart. They made us rent another cart because they would not let us have the three of us on one cart. Never has this happened before at other course. My grandson was not playing. Don't waste your money on this course. There are courses in San Antonio that are less money and better conditions. Not to mention they don't have stupid rules that take the fun out of a golf outing.
