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.

Enjoyable course with nice elevation changes.

I enjoyed my first time playing this course. Definitely cost more than my normal courses I play but was a nice treat while visiting San Antonio.
Greens have a lot of undulations to them and some sharp fall offs. Was fun to play a former PGA Tour stop.

Not good marshals

So the round almost took five hours because the group in front of us had no golf etiquette and after telling the marshals two times about it they drove right by them without telling them one thing.
I don’t know if they were members or not. But they should’ve been told something and the marshals neglected to say anything to them twice.
And as far as the greens. They were the fastest I’ve played in probably seven years anywhere.

Great and challenging course

I am normally a very góod putter and greens reader but i could not make one.. for sime reason i read right to left and everything was left to righ. Could not believe it and made that mistake time after time. Trust it will break right.
Overall great ggolf course and i will definetly play it again.
One thing to improve the grass cutter guys were always working without the adequate behaivor. A detail but i hit one of the in the middle of the fairway that might cost me at least 20 yards and in other ocassion the just move while i was trying to chip in. I dont think they needed to do this while the course was not that crowded

Worst greens ever!!!

Saying they just “aerated” our greens is incredibly misleading! Worst greens I’ve ever seen, all patchy and some completely bare dirt, it’s really embarrassing. They should just close the course until this is fixed, pretty much unplayable. They blame weather when In reality someone just botched it big time! Great course ruined by the worst greens you will ever see.

Good course. Pace bad.

Everyone I met there was fantastic but we waited on all 18 holes.

The round didn’t take five hours (4:40) so it wasn’t too bad but it felt slow with the constant waiting for each shot. It still wasn’t that big of a deal except for the one Marshal who said, “Pace of play” for seemingly no reason as he passed me after watching us wait in the fairway and hit our shots appropriately. Not really sure what he was going for there but that was the only turn off.

It’s winter conditions so it isn’t perfect but was still nice and it’s a really fun course.

Resort course was great!

Course was in great shape with lush fairways, well kept sand bunkers (sadly I know first hand, lol) and we’ll kept greens. Tee boxes were ok as well.

Beautiful view and well maintenance

This is the first time we played here. Both driven range and resort course are very well maintenance. It is not only people friendly, also wildlife friendly, we saw three deers at the hole 17. I will definitely will come back to play here.

Awesome Course

Everything about this course is excellent, ( a bit pricey) but overall a great experience, we would play here every weekend if it was a little less expensive. Fairways are in great shape, green on hole #7 is in bad shape, but all the rest are in perfect condition, very fast but role true.
