The signature 7th is a prime example: beautiful, offers a risky opportunity and a safe one as well. Photo submitted by u388669693 on 07/06/2019

great course but terrible 19th hole
the course was in great shape staff very friendly but the only thing I didn't like about it is they have no snacks or anything to eat at the bar after 3 p.m. I was not asking for a steak or lobster just a hot dog or nachos heck even a bag of chips would have been nice there 15 other people at the bar that agreed with me. The other golf courses offer food at the bar. And for being a resort they have very small TV's in the bar and way up in the corners you have to twist your body around just to see some sports on there very disappointed with the 19th hole.Dont think I will be going to the bar and grill at the course again La Cantera mall is right across the street with plenty of places to go have a drink and just have a snack.
Great course
My friends and I had a great time....I would recommend playing there if you haven't done so

Practice green was much faster than course greens
There was some construction but the course was beautiful. Price was reasonable on Golf Now. Our group was glad we played the course and look forward to being able to return. It is a course that you need to know to score well. Some of the trouble is closer or further than you think.
Hi Brinkf,

La Cantera Resort Course is in good shape
The course was in very good condition. Greens were fast and true. The fairways and traps were excellent for this time of year( hot and dry). The only drawback is the noise generated from the ongoing construction at the hotel.
Hi CBenefield,
Thank you for your great comments. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the great conditions. We hope to see you again soon!
Overall Good Shape
La Cantera Resort Course is loaded with great views and a good staff. Bag drop staff is friendly, starters and marshals are helpful and nice. Cart/Beverage girls are around every few holes to keep you refreshed. I just have one bit of advice; DO NOT HIT IT IN THE ROUGH. The Bermuda grass is about 3-4" deep and you cannot find your ball. A resort course should have much shorter and more manageable rough to make the round more enjoyable. The greens and tee boxes are fantastic. Fairways have some burn spots but I'm just nitpicking now. Overall good course. Did I mention not to hit it in the rough?
Too much rough and sanded greens
This is the first time I played La Cantera and was very disappointed with the conditions. I figured(incorrectly) that two weeks after the greens being sanded; that the greens would be pretty decent. Sadly they were not. They were very inconsistent and it made the short game almost impossible. The Tee boxes and fairways were very good although we ran into a lot of muddy and over watered areas, which was odd considering how dry it's been. The rough might have been the thickest I have ever played. We had trouble finding balls a foot off the fairway. It made for a very difficult and unpleasant golf experience. I will have trouble convincing
Myself to want to play here again. The views on this course are second to none but the conditions make it Muni-like!
Rough Rough
Course had just been aerated (we knew about it) and greens were slow for their standards, but unpredictable and not "true" when it came down to hold the line.
Another issue was that Cantera charged me the full fee and didn't want to discout the $9.96 paid thru Golfnow.com. Same thing happened last week at Northern Hills Golf Course. I need to figure out how to get my money back
What a view!
Breathtaking views, first class treatment and an incredible course!
La Cantera Resort
A lot more challenging than you would expect from a resort course. Fairways are tight and too far one direction or another and it's a lost ball, so bring spares. Greens are large but they do have a few tough pin placement. Lot's of elevation changes and even more views.
Great San Antonio Golf
Very friendly and helpful staff gave first class reception. Course was in excellent shape. Price from GolfNow was right so I treated myself to a great day of golf. Only issue was that all the par 3s were about the same length. Could've stood a little variation there. Will definitely go back again.

Good course , goodbround, friendly staff. Not used to bermuda rough, stay in fairway
La Cantera Resort Review
First time playing at the Resort course. Arrived 30 minutes before tee time, was greeted properly at the bag drop, had a chance to check out the pro shop, decided to do my usual warm up out at the range while I leisurely enjoyed some good old country tunes they had on that morning, hit the first hole (under construction) and the day went just as planned. Fairways were very easy to stay on in my opinion, but if you catch yourself in the rough you could be in a bit of trouble due to the thickness of the grass. Greens played fast but not over the top. Majority of the holes were easy to get through. I loved the design of the course and you can't beat the views. Definitely would come back again, but hoping for cheaper prices on the drinks!
My new favorite course in San Antonio.
What a great Father's Day with my son. Since my sine is a small business owner, he rarely has the opportunity to get away for a round of golf but Father's Day is a ritual for us. Although I'm an avid golfer and have played most all the courses in San Antonio both public and private, this was my first time on the La Cantera Resort course. There was high chance of rain all day with some severe storms possible. We rolled the dice and headed out to the first tee. With all the rain we have had, the course was plush and beautiful. We had light drizzle throughout the day with a couple of heavy spurts but it actually made for a very comfortable day. Beautiful views from elevated tee boxes, very generous fairways for a past PGA Tour course but still enough challenges for lower handicap players while making it a great experience for higher handicappers. This is my new favorite course in San Antonio. Great course, great staff service= Great round of golf.
Great hill country coursr
Course in excellent condition. Not particularly too difficult. Beautiful scenery and holes. Will definetly play again. Much better than Hyatt
Still in tournament conditions
Once the Texas Open left LaCantera and headed for the TPC San Antonio I was worried the course conditions might decline a little bit.. That is not the case.. LaCantera is still in wonderful shape and definitely worth playing.. The pace of play was horrible.. Took more than 5 hours to finish.. I've never seen it that bad before so it might have just been a bad day.. The place was packed.. The biggest problem I had was it was hot outside and they let the water coolers run dry.. Yes they have a cart girl but 3.50 for water is not something I like to pay when I can get water from a water cooler.. We went by 4 coolers and all 4 of them were bone dry.. Bring your own water and you will be good to go.. The greens were great but I did notice the 17th green was rough around the edges..
the course has lots of rolling hills
could of not asked for a better day everything was great but beverage prices were a bit expensive
Plays like PGA tour course
Great course, plays like PGA tour course and was home of Texas Open for a number of years. Hilltop tee and views of rolling hills and valley are fantastic. Clifftop tee is unique. Beautiful course with a challenge.
Very nice
Very nice course. Greens were extremely slow and hard to read. We got rained out after nine holes, so it made the cost expensive. Staff was very friendly, but could only offer a rain check which I could not use since I was leaving the next morning.
The course was under construction but...
I found the course to be quite challenging. You need to hit the ball straight. There were a couple of holes that were a bit iffy design wise but overall it was a nice course with some great views. The greens were very dry but rolled well. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. A couple of holes were under construction, but should be ready soon.
Hi Raymond,
We are happy to hear you enjoyed your time with us at La Cantera Resort. We are glad you enjoyed the course conditions and our friendly staff. We apologize food was not available after 3:00pm, and we will talk with our team to see if this is something we can change in the future.
We hope to see you back again soon for another round at La Cantera Resort.
Best Wishes,
La Cantera Resort Management
