La Cantera Resort

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.

Course in excellent condition. Not particularly too difficult. Beautiful scenery and holes. Will definetly play again. Much better than Hyatt

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..

could of not asked for a better day everything was great but beverage prices were a bit expensive

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 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.

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.

Course was nice and best part was pace of play, played for a significant reduced price, think it was proportionate to course condition

Course was in pretty good shape. 1st hole is under construction but over all it was a good day. Pace of play was pretty fast and greens were in good condition.

overall great experience, better weather conditions than previous outing. Greens were in great condition. Encountered construction work off of 1st tee...look forward to playing again.

This is a $40 a round golf course at best. Greens were in ok condition. Tee boxes were ok. There was construction on hole 1 so we had to go mudding to get to the make shift tee box that was on a down slant. The food was slow, overpriced and subpar. The best thing about this course was the view from the tops of the hills. Lots of reasonably priced golf courses in the area, try one of them instead!

Resort courses and PGA Tour venues generally don't go hand-in-hand. But the Resort Course at La Cantera is a rare play that's both easy swinging for vacationers as well as a true test for the game's elite. The Weiskopf-Morrish design hosted the Valero Texas Open from 1995-2009, and with holes like the stellar 12th, a narrow, long par 4 with a shallow, elevated green guarded on all sides, it's easy to see why. But stifling holes like the 12th are the exception and not the norm. Compared to the TPC San Antonio, mid-handicappers are going to have much more of a fighting chance around the greens, which are generally more receptive with a little more room to bailout safely from sucker pins. The drivable par-4 7th (a signature design trait of the team) is as fun of a hole as there is in Texas.

Rounded out with some lovely scenery and top-notch service by management company Troon Golf, La Cantera isn't going anywhere in the Hill Country golf scene.

The course was beautiful. The greens were impeccable... but... I read breaks very well, however it drives me nuts when a downhill looks uphill and vice versa. the practice green warns you what is coming, but unless you have a yardage book that shows the direction of the greens, plan on a lot of 3 and 4 putts.

After the front 9 we decided to roll a ball on the green before putting and it made the back 9 a lot more enjoyable.

The staff were helpful and friendly and made us feel welcomed. We like the layout of the golf course. The fairways were open and wide. The second shot required you full attention because you are either hitting up a hill or down a hill onto the greens. Great scenic vistas also. After a few holes we both came to realization the greens were unplayable. If you are putting against the grain the ball jumped then bounced and moved sideways. This conclusion about the greens was confirmed by a couple of single golfers that we allowed to play through. I asked them both if they were regulars at this club and both said yes. I asked what the secret to reading and putting the greens were? They both told us that this time of year you don't. Later we watched a two- some playing in front of us and we observed that once they were on the green they took two putts then moved on.
This was a really disappointing golfing experience because of the greens. I wanted to take my dad to a nice golf course since he was visiting from Alaska. We had plans to play the Palmer course later in the week, but no way.
However we both enjoy the scenic views and visiting with each other.

Great driving range.
The greens speeds varied widely from green to green, depending upon the grain. Make sure you account for that. Fairways amply wide.

Great course, challenging and course is in good condition.

STAFF WAS FRIENDLY. ENJOYED WARMING UP.
COURSE WAS IN GOOD SHAPE FOR BEING IN THE WINTER. WE HAD A BAD DAY FOR WEATHER. MY FRIEND AND I ENJOYED THE COURSE.

beware the false fronts on some of the greens; the ball will roll back a long way

Golf courses complain there losing business yearly DA. You can not expect beginners thru intermediate golfers to enjoy golf or new courses to pay your prices, and be rushed every minute to keep your pace. I will not play this course again for that reason only. If you have money to burn or some-one is paying your way, in a hurry,and excellent golfer play here. If this is your 1st regular golf course after driving ranges and lessons I'll see you on the public tennis courts or fishing.

Played in abnormally cold conditions. Course was challenging - more so due to 30 degree temps and wind! Lots of elevation changes. Staff was great. I'm not for SATX but I've played here, TPC, Canyon Springs. I'd say this place is between TPC and Canyon in terms of "polish" but I truly enjoyed all three!
