La Cantera Golf Club
About
La Cantera Golf Club opened in 1995, when it also hosted one of the oldest PGA Tour events, the Texas Open. It is no wonder the spot was chosen, with its numerous natural water features, mature oaks, and limestone rock outcroppings it provides the perfect terrain for a challenging round. There are also 75 white sand bunkers strategically placed throughout the golf course. In combination with the spectacular views provided by the course’s elevation changes, the course has quickly gained favor as one of the best public-access golf courses in the country.

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

Probably the best roller coaster in the area
I've played the Resort course at La Cantera many times, all the way back to my high school days when it was still the host of the Texas Open. It will always have that cool factor for me.
But all these years later I still find it's a super enjoyable golf course, full of (literal) ups and downs and some really memorable shots.
You don't get much more memorable than the short par 4 where the tee box gives you a vista of many of the rides at Fiesta Texas. Why ride a roller coaster that lasts 60 seconds, when you can play the Resort course?
The whole experience at La Cantera is fantastic and both courses are worthy of your time in San Antonio.
Great track- former Valero Texas Open venue
Drove from Austin to play this course and we were not disappointed. Great layout. Generous fairways. Great condition. Staff was great. We were a twosome and played with some great guys. Many signatures holes on this track. I highly recommend
The course is in great shape and the staff where awesome. The course plays slow.
Fabulous round of golf
The pro shop and start her staff were exceptionally friendly and very knowledgeable. We are fortunate enough to get out early on this particular day and we’re not paired with anyone. Teeboxes,, fairways and greens were in great shape. Green speed average. Nice elevation changes, A very pretty course, cart girl , snack shack, bathrooms all available. A nice course for low and high handicappers .A must play when you’re in the San Antonio area. Would love to play this course again as well as the sister course ~Palmer course. Would definitely come back to play again..
Not worth your money
These greens were the absolute worst I’ve ever played anywhere and I’ve played at some rough places. The course itself had a cool design. The pace of play was awful, multiple parties stacked waiting on every hole on a Friday afternoon. Ended up leaving on the 13th hole, couldn’t take it anymore.
Great course
Great course. Lots of elevation. Challenging but fun. To bad there was a slow group that slowed down about four groups behind them. Golfers please be considerate and play to 4hrs.
Slow play
We had to wait on 15 of 18 holes. The group in front of us was like talk to each other like they were the only one’s on the course. Then they would hit two to three balls off the tee. We said something to them they act like no one was behind them. They need a marshal to keep pace going.
Outstanding Course
From the moment we arrived until we finished a sandwich at the 19th hole after the round, we were impressed. The starter was outstanding, the course was beautiful and in great shape and the cart service was excellent. Arguably the best course in San Antonio with by far the best service.
Not worth the price
this course used to be in great shape with great services, at a reasonable price (around $70 on weekdays) now is twice as much ($130) and with no one at bag drop, no one cleaning your clubs at the end of round like before, no drinking water on course, they blame it on Covid, but all other courses in town are back to normal without the big hike in price. pace is good 'cause there's not that many people playing. mainly tourist, they're leaving out locals with those prices.
Great course and value
Enjoyed every bit of the experience: beautiful course , nice pace of play, and didn’t pay near as much as I would have expected for such a great course. Highly recommend!
Course in great shape!!!
Had a blast playing the Beautiful La Cantera Resort Golf Course!!!
