The Westin La Cantera Resort – San Antonio

Everyone knows the four necessities in life are food, clothing, shelter and golf. Not necessarily in that order. Here at the La Cantera we’re serious about the game. How serious? We enlisted the one and only Arnold Palmer to create our championship course: The Palmer Course at La Cantera. This 6,926-yard, par 71 masterpiece winds through the Texas Hill Country and offers the ultimate test of ability. It’s adjacent to yet another stunner, The Resort Course at La Cantera, previous home of the PGA Tour’s Valero Texas Open.

And when you’re not testing your skills, hone them at our on-site Golf Academy, headed by Mike Vardeman. A wide variety of programs ensure player improvement at every skill level, with customized instruction available on request.
