About this course

La Cantera Golf Club, nestled in the Texas Hill Country of San Antonio, presents a distinctive golfing experience shaped by the region's rugged beauty. This is a resort course, and an escape from the city bustle. Designed by Jay Morrish and Tom Weiskopf, the course leverages the dramatic elevation changes and natural limestone outcroppings that define the terrain. It's a course that favors strategic play over brute force, rewarding golfers who can navigate the doglegs and undulations with well-placed shots. The prevailing winds add another layer of complexity, demanding adaptability and an understanding of the elements. La Cantera hosted the Texas Open from 1995 to 2009. While not among the most venerated courses in the nation, La Cantera offers a memorable experience for resort guests and local golfers alike. It's a testament to how golf can be seamlessly integrated into a landscape, providing both challenge and respite. La Cantera is a popular getaway for couples seeking a golf and spa escape. The club has quietly cultivated a loyal following among local professionals and business owners. The resort is famous for its palatial scale, where you will find the golf course nestled on the periphery of the grounds. It's a course where the views are as much a part of the experience as the golf itself.

Getting there

Most arrivals to La Cantera Golf Club begin at San Antonio International Airport, a straightforward twenty-minute drive northwest into the Texas Hill Country's limestone-edged terrain. The route traces the city's gradual ascent from the historic downtown basin toward higher ground, where the landscape opens into rolling scrubland dotted with live oak and juniper. As the highway gives way to local roads winding through the resort corridor, the final approach reveals La Cantera's elevated perch above the city - a fitting transition from urban San Antonio to the rugged, sun-washed beauty of the Hill Country's southern frontier.
