Set atop one of the highest points in the greater San Antonio area, the Westin La Cantera Resort offers breathtaking views of the Texas Hill Country: rolling hills and dales, seemingly endless tracts of old-growth Live Oaks, white limestone outcroppings and, of course, undulating fairways that meander across the landscape like wide ribbons of emerald velvet. Westin La Cantera is a tranquil, seemingly remote world; a distinctive retreat for business and leisure travelers alike. A major golf destination in its own right, it’s the ultimate blend of recreation and luxury.
Westin La Cantera is a 36-hole facility. Its two championship layouts are complimented by six pools, three hot tubs, health club and spa services, tennis courts, casual and fine dining, a kids club and flexible, spacious meeting space. A resort universe where the star attraction is undoubtedly the golf: 36 holes anchored by the 18-hole championship Resort Course at La Cantera, the product of an architectural pairing of Jay Morrish and Tom Weiskopf. The second layout and, in my opinion, the better of the two, is the Palmer Course, a signature design by the legend himself.
