The course was in really good shape.

I was extremely pleased with the course condition and the professionalism of the entire staff. This was my son's first visit and he was absolutely thrilled to play a prior PGA Tour course. We are already planning a return trip.

Great Views, Great Shape

Course is in great shape even though the rough is a little long for the average player. Definitely rewards the play in the fairway. Most fairways are wide and the greens are in great shape. Some great views and some fun holes on this course.

Well maintained faiways and greens

I only rated it 4 stars because I felt it was less challenging and enjoyable as its sister course, the Palmer Course. None the less, it was in great shape was a very enjoyable play. Pace of play was good in the afternoon and it only cost $64. To me, it was a great value. The only other con was that I spent more in refreshments than I did in greens fees.

Never seen the greens so beat up and dry.

After SA has had over a foot of rain in the past month, don't quite understand how the greens at the Resort Course can look like something found at WIllow Springs.

Fantastic views.

This was an enjoyable day from the starter to the guys cleaning the clubs after the round. Pace of play was not bad. Each time we got to the tee box we had to stop and take in the beautiful views. There were many blind shots and quite a few holes you had to hit your spots in the fairway to reach the green.

Great day of golf

What a treat to get to play this course again. You have the option of valet or self park. All the staff is trained very well to serve. They are very alert and attentive to whatever your needs are. The people in the clubhouse, setting you up in your carts, starter, Marshall. Everyone

Has a class system, but nice golf course

Loved the golf course, it had several interesting holes, especially the one that faces the roller coaster. Real fun putting while people are screaming:-)
Got there early as a twosome. When we asked why other twosomes were going out and we weren't added, they said it was based on the discounted rate we paid on line. Not sure I get it. It you're worried about pace of play, why would you hold players back because they paid a rate that you offered to get them to play your course in the first place. Starter was a nice game, but his hands were tied. The 2 singles we played with were fun anyway..

Good condition, staff is very friendly.

I've played this course before, but I always enjoy coming back to it. It was in good condition again, same as it was when I played it a couple of years ago.

Great Layout, Mediocre Service

This is a beautiful course with a great layout. Every hole is high quality and very interesting. It is a great mix of long and short holes, with reachable par 5's and lengthy par 3's. The views are spectacular, especially number 7, which looks over six flags and from which downtown San Antonio can be seen. The cart all have GPS

On the downside - the greens are not in the best shape, as they are grainy and slow. Considering the quality of the course, the staff is below par, as most are unfriendly and inattentive. I played late in the afternoon on a recent Friday and the pace of play was about 4 1/2 hours; we seemed to wait on every shot. We had to get another cart on number 10 because our battery died, and they charge $5.25 per beer, which is excessive.

Despite these drawbacks, I do recommend the course due to the quality of the layout.

fun course and great staff

We played the Palmer on Monday and found the greens to be unfairly difficult. Resort course is more fun and fair. We got stuck behind a tournament on Monday and took 5.5 hrs to play so they gave us all a free round of golf. SWEET!

Premier course

A challenging course even from the white tees. The elevation changes and views are spectacular. The early season and drought have the fairways and rough suffering. The course is finely manicured. I found the bermuda greens difficult to read as the grain affected every putt. The staff was most friendly and helpful. A good time.

Nice course, but.......

Played this course on a Saturday morning. I had played the Palmer course the day before and just preferred the Palmer course much better. The course was in good shape, beautiful venue, but I just found the course to be average.

A real challenge with beautiful views all around the course.

This was my first time to play the Resort Course at La Cantera, but I've been there several times. I've walked the course while watching the pros play in the Texas Open before it moved across town. The layout of the course is one of the most challenging I've played in my 53 year golfing history. However, the course condition was not what I observed when the course was hosting the PGA tour players. The greens were in really good condition, but the fairways were typical of what you might expect when playing in mid-Winter of a multi-year drought in the area -- less than great. The staff were all terrific, starting with the young fellows at the bag drop to the folks in the pro shop and the volunteer starter. An overall extremely enjoyable golf outing. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to put their game to the test, but -- bring lots of golf balls and a good sand shot with you!!!
