La Cantera Golf Club

This is a course I have played many times since 1998. Today was beyond awful. I knew they had aerated the greens earlier in the week because of the warning on golf now. The guy in the pro shop reminded me at check in. First the range was in rough shape, like everyone was backed up 10 feet just to get some grass to hit from. Second, when the starter came to get us, he stated that hole 12 was down and we would be playing to a “temporary green”. Well it was just a 100 yard to a random flag in the fairway, not a puttable green. Bad thing is that 12 is one of the best pat 4 on the course. 3rd nearly half the greens were almost unplayable because of patchwork sod job. Some greens were almost 1/2 rough sod, unputtable. It was embarrassing, as I am a resident of San Antonio and people are still being charged over $100 to play this. Golf Now should be refunding our green fees over this. I played with two men from Mexico and they were clearly disappointed at the conditions as well. I was lucky enough to find a “deal” at $60 but the men I played with paid nearly $200 for their rounds. I attached a photo of one of the greens. This is totally unacceptable as I am a frequent user of golf now. Do a better job of vetting courses.

From the time you pull up till the time you leave it’s a 5 star service. They made sure to express their apologies for the condition of a few greens as the drought has hindered the grass from growing adequately. Other than that loved it!! Also the view on hole 7 was AMAZING!! Have your phone ready for some pictures.

Everything but the greens was in great shape. However, about half of the greens have major sections that have been recently resodded and the sod squares are hit or miss as to whether they are surviving. All of this makes putting a challenge, unless you hit them all within 10'. I do not.
I know it's hot, but other areas in some fairways were still soggy after 11:00 a.m, so they are watering.

Course conditions were good at this time of year Greens were fair but understandably it was hot And no rain

Class act from staff; sweet practice area; great views.and great hill country layout.

I understand tee times are meant for groups of 2-4 to maximize efficiency and singles cannot reserve them alone. The system will automatically try to set you up with a group of 2-3. Hopefully you can set a time on off peak days (Mon-Thu) around noon where a single person can reserve a tee time. It can even be 1 day before or on the same day so singles can't take up tee time slots more than 2 days away. I think this is a good idea to at least try out. There are a number of people who want to play a round alone and finish in 2.5 hours in order to do other things during the day. Thank you for your consideration.

Tuve una gran experiencia con mi hijo.
Nuestra salida era a las 8:40 am pero como la de las 8:50 am estaba disponible nos la ofrecieron para poder jugar solos. El campo está en perfectas condiciones y las personas que trabajan ahí son muy atentos.

Staff, coarse layout, amenities excellent, the worst greens I have ever seen for an elite coarse15 out of 18 were completely bare dirt. I hope the person got fired that messed them up.

This was a great experience. However, my date and I were pushed a bit in the front side despite being five to 10 minutes ahead of pace for a time. We were about a hole behind so some of that’s on us. The greens are in terrible shape. Course management is doing the best it can, but even sodding the worst places won’t keep management from shutting down the course to renovate the greens due to human error with chemicals. Still love the course - Hole No. 7 is a treat.

Everything was great, but the greens. They are un-playable. If you can look past this issue, the course has amazing views. The greens look like they need to be completely re-done. It's really unfortunate.

Greens all burned out and basically unplayable. Go somewhere else.

Greens were absolute trash, they said it was aerated to give a slight discount but in reality it should have cost $50 or less to play here. They waited till we were at the tee box to tell us the greens had fallen into disrepair but tried to act like they were still playable, it was like concrete with the occasional lump of grass to throw your ball offline or into the air. Wouldn’t play here again.

Greens are ruined. They won’t get better this year. Your putt will bounce All over the place.

The sad thing about this course is for the price you pay it should be the nicest course here in San Antonio. At this moment it is by far the worst option due to the greens. They should shut the course, rip up all the greens and redo all of them and be closed until they can get them in decent playing condition. I will not go back for a while after seeing how bad they were. Pretty sad due to the prices they try and charge for a round. Might be worth it if the round was $20 but geez it’s not worth paying anything over that.

Greens are the worst I’ve ever seen anywhere. All of them are completely trashed. Not worth it if it’s free!

The greens were in terrible shape. Seemed they were dried out and poorly maintained. This is a course I play often and I have never had a bad experience. If I was told about this prior to the round, I would not write this review. But unfortunately the staff failed to mention anything about it. I have never played on greens that were this terrible. I wouldn’t be upset if the round was 30 bucks but for almost 90 I find it a little unacceptable. I will definitely play again but not until the greens are shown a little TLC. I will also have an issue sending my customers from my resort to go play the course.

As other reviewers stated , the greens are currently almost unplayable. A beautiful layout but the condition of the greens really ruins the experience. They have a long way to go before they get back to where they need to be ! We played The Quarry and The Bandit after this course and both were in very nice shape !
