The Course at La Cantera Resort

4-star: Above average course - well worth a visit.

Est. 1995

The Course at La Cantera Resort (formerly known as La Cantera Golf Club - Resort course) was previously kept company by the resort's Palmer course, which was closed in 2021. The Resort Course, a former PGA Tour venue, is now the flag-bearer for top-quality golf at the resort.

Located at the resort centre, The Course at La Cantera is a well-rated and pleasantly testing layout that winds through the Texas Hill Country. Along the way you will enjoy wonderful views, not least with the sheer 80‐foot drop from the 7th tee to the fairway. Plenty of golfing challenge, well-crafted designs and usually good upkeep all contribute to the appeal of these courses.

Stay&Play at La Cantera: luxury onsite accommodation available, see Where2Stay section below.
