La Cantera Resort - The Palmer Course

First time playing here and this place was truly a lot of fun. Every hole was enjoyable and fun. The driving range was also a nice touch make sure to get there early so you can enjoy the complimentary range. Pretty blind course if your first time like it was ours so be sure to use the gps or play with someone who has played there before. Overall great tee boxes, great fairways and very very fast greens.

Staff was very friendly. Marshall is very nice and helped explain the course to this. There’s hills and many elevation changes. Streams, ducks, deer and giant pond fish. It’s a little pricey but you get what you pay for. A great experience.

Played July 1st, I believe they just sanded the greens recently so they were not as fast as expected but it did not take away from the value of the course. The rough however was tricky, not long but just long enough so your golf ball disappears . Had a great day, played fast everyone was super friendly and would I recommend playing here. Yes absolutely

Course is beautiful, very challenging but rewarding. Lots of elevation changes and blind shots. As long as you hit it straight you'll be fine. My only complaint is that we were asked to pick up the pace on the back nine. Only thing is we were waiting on the group in front of us most of the day. I felt like we were being picked on. Other than that no issues with this place. I will definitely be playing the again.

It was pretty cool this morning. We started on the back nine as more sun there to warm up the course. I was moved up to another time which was great. We finished in just under 4 hours after a brief wait on number 1, our 10th hole. The course is in decent shape although the bunkers need work. They were quite compacted with very little sand in the bottom. I was lucky never hitting one but my partners really struggled getting under the ball. T boxes were in good shape as were the greens. The greens were very challenging to figure out. I think I had more 3 putts today than in my last 4 rounds. The grain really pulled the ball and I never really got comfortable with line and speed. Fairways were in good shape, hard and fast.
An interesting layout with a lot of blind t shots, more than I am used to. Would like to play again as it would help with deciding what to hit and where.
Staff were excellent in all areas .

Course is fantastic and beautiful layout. Low handicapper they enjoyed the back tees. Challenging course.

Absolutely beautiful views!
The course was in fantastic condition!
My only suggestion is to have more than one person running snacks.
Snack shop was closed cuz the girl was on the course in the beverage cart.

Other than that, amazing track!

Can not wait to come back!

Beautiful new carts, nice greens. Zero sand in traps. Please put some sand in the traps.

Weather didn't exactly cooperate. Mid to high 40's and gusty winds. Course was in very good condition for late November. Greens were exceptional. Definitely will play again during next years trip to San Antonio.

If you love golf and want to experience the hill country of San Antonio, then The Palmer course at the La Cantera Resort is the place to go. Simply put it is one of the most scenic golf courses in the world. The staff will make you feel right at home like you own the course. It is an experience you won’t forget.

It was a awesome to play at Palmer course La Cantera because of Hill country views. Beautiful layout course. I would definitely recommend it.

Actually played this course in November 2018.... Due to reviews had a hard time picking between the Palmer and resort course.... but chose the Palmer. It was a nice course with a lot of fun and challenging holes. Several blind shots that playing with a member would've helped.... Good views from several holes. Pace of play was pretty slow but I was in no hurry so it was all good. I played the TPC course the next day and actually liked this course better for way less money.

I booked a foursome for 18 holes. we got there and was told the back 9 was under construction and we only booked 9 holes.We could play the front 9 twice if we paid another $20.00 on top of the $50.00 we already paid. perhaps my mistake but the website was very confusing. On hold forever when trying to rectify with your customer service department.. Not happy! reconsidering renewing our contract.

After being met by the the stunning clubhouse, one looks out into a valley at the ninth and eighteenth greens. The first thing you notice is how hilly these two holes are.

I was prewarned about the difficulty of the course, and I can see how this course earned that reputation. While not overly long, the course requires accuracy off the tee (driver not necessarily required). A ball off the fairway is pretty much gone. I played on quite a benign day. It was sunny without much wind and the greens were true but moderately paced. Sadly my game was not up to scratch but I appreciated the vistas, and the layout.

My favourite hole was the par 5 16th, from the tee you can see the clubhouse, as you assess the twisting fairway ahead of you.

The 18th hole is a truly difficult hole, it requires a driver and a longish iron into a green surrounded by bunkers and water right. Keep it straight.

I’m looking forward to going there again with some better game.

Course was well kept. Had one of the toughest greens.
