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

Course could be better
Caught a great price at $62 w/tax and course was in great shape. Had just rained a few days prior so was very alive and played well. Practice/warm up facilities are great even with the amount of traffic that was going through the course that day. Staff is alright but try to regulate too much. Had 3 marshals on the course all day to ensure you kept up pace but at the Palmer they just ask if you've played before and let play regulate it's self. Bunkers are the toughest part of the course but made it a very fun challenge. Would say that it's worth paying 70-85 bucks max not over 100 and especially not in the summer because the greens will turn into glass. Overall experience was good but price is far too high.
La Cantera Resort
The driving range was closed due to it being a little muddy. It seemed more like an excuse then an actual problem. They didn't want to be inconvenienced.
Course was in good shape for the most part. 17's green was pretty burnt out however. Overall it's a great corse but a little pricey IMO.
Great layout. Very enjoyable!
Course was in great shape. Great pace of play. Very enjoyable day.
Great Shape
Well, the 2 1/2" of rain put this classic hill country style track in great shape. A former Texas Open site. This track never disappoints. Great twilight specials after 2 right now.
Add to must play list
Fairways were like carpet, sand trap awesome white sand, greens in awesome shape, views from tee box awesome
LaCantera Golf Course Resort
Overall the golf course was really good the only problem was with the ranger when he asked us to pick it up and there was 1 person playing infront and 1 person playing behind our foursome. Not really ideal to play faster than 1 person but besides that the golf course was great.
Great course
Must play when in San Antonio. Golfers will not be disappointed.

NIce course, in good shape considering no rain for a long time. Beautiful scenery. Got a good deal on Golf Now. Would definately play again.
One of the Best in San Antonio
The Resort Course is excellent with varied terrain typical of the famed Texas hill country.. Course is in good shape although like all San Antonio courses could use a good rain. Greens are hard and fast with some hard to read puts. Wooded canyons and rough areas require reasonable accuracy but fairways are spacious and greens fairly large.
Golf staff were pleasant and helpful, you feel like a welcome guest.
Beautiful course
Visiting San Antonio, we wanted to play golf at least twice while we were here. Luckily, we chose this course!! Views are breathtaking, holes are extremely challenging, and staff couldn't be friendlier. Sister course (Arnold Palmer Course apparently just as nice if not even a little prettier but more challenging). Being a course in the hillside country, would recommend some experience in golf. Recommend highly.
A must Play
Great course, friendly staff
The staff went out of their way to help us find a near by steak place. They even printed us directions so we would find the place.
One word of caution about Troon Golf and Golf Now be advised: I expect a certain level of professionalism and course condition from Troon Golf and Golf Now and I am still boiling about play at Tapatio (a Troon course in Boerne) early in the week. You can not believe what you read. Tapatio was a dump and should never be listed on Golf Now. You work all year to go on vacation and you get the wool pulled over your eyes and the staff just didn't seem to care.
Nice course
Course was in good condition considering the drought. 17 green is in terrible shape, I understand they had some difficulties with the irrigation there, but they could've moved the pin placement to a better spot. I expect to pay more for drinks at a course like this, but $5.25 for a can of beer is just stupid. I also would have expected some sort of security to patrol the parking lot and keep an eye on people's stuff, our truck was broken into and some nice belongings were stolen.
La Cantera
We got it a $56 Dls. but it is not worth it paying full price. It is easy course not very challenging and greens fairly ok.
Beautiful Course
I went here to take my brother on a great golf outing before he had to jump on a plane to Cleveland, OH later that afternoon. I'm not an avid golfer (once a month...maybe), but this was wide open and forgiving course that was great to play on. My brother enjoyed himself on our outing and I'm sure, when he returns, we may return.
Extremely disappointed
The round started off fairly good. The fairways were manicured and the greens good. However, as the round progressed, the grass on the fairways began to disappear and the greens were not mowed and they were very bumpy. The last 4-5 holes were the worst. The greens were brown and no grass and very then even more bumpy. I spent a significant amount of my monthly golf budget to play this former PGA course and was VERY, VERY disappointed in the overall condition of this RESORT golf course. I do not believe I will play this course again - especially at the price they want.
Roller coasters, wind and a Fun Ride
Beautiful but windy day makes many of the elevated tee boxes testers. Course condition great all but 17th green which was unlike all the others and plagued with some damaging disease. Practice facilities are first rate so come early. Enjoy the screams from the nearby roller coaster as you tee off on #7 as you scream too as the wind on that tee shot hits your ball.:)
Disappointed
Very slow play, especially for a resort course. Had to wait to tee on the first nine due to slow playing ladies foursome in a tournament. Marshalls told us that they would speed them up, but never did. By ninth hole we had three groups waiting on the tee.
I expect this on a muni, but not a high price resort.
I will not go back.
At $40 was good
At $40 was good value, would not pay $125 for poor fairways and greens
A fun and generous course to play
This was a good course. We played the Palmer course on Mon. and Wed. Then we played this course on Friday. The course was in great shape considering the time of year when most courses are in the dormant stage. It has lots of room on either side of the fairways and the greens roll true. What you see is what it is. Now that we have moved to Texas, I will play this course often.
About What I expected
Played Feb 18, 2014 on a mild day. Fairways and rough was dormant but greens had some recent new growth (however they did not putt particularly smooth or ture....but this is what you get this time of year I suppose).
Typical resort type atmosphere with bag boys and valets with their hands out, although everyone was friendly.
Course is surprisingly hilly and would be a bear to walk. Played the gold tees (6400 yeards) but it played shorter with many elevated tees and the fairways running fast.
Overall a good experience given I only paid $56 for the green fee. Would have been disappointed had I paid significantly more.
