Westin La Cantera Resort

Nestled atop one of the highest points in all of San Antonio, The Westin La Cantera Resort offers breathtaking views of downtown and the beautiful Texas Hill Country. Built on the site of an abandoned limestone rock quarry - la cantera in Spanish - the resort's intimate setting seems like it's a world away from the city, yet the famous River Walk and the Alamo, two of San Antonio's most-visited attractions, are just 20 minutes away.

This elegant hilltop retreat - the only resort in South Texas where you will find 36 holes of golf - offers other exceptional amenities, including a spa, a magnificent, newly renovated Westin WORKOUT powered by Reebok fitness center, renowned dining options, and beautifully landscaped lagoon-style pools, creating a package unlike any other in San Antonio.

GOLF AT THE WESTIN LA CANTERA RESORT

Slideshow

Golf legend and award-winning course designer, Arnold Palmer, has created a championship course for The Westin La Cantera Resort to rival his other courses named as America's Best Courses by Golfweek. The 6,926-yard, par-71 magnificently scenic course is set in the Texas Hill Country and will challenge your skills from tee to green. The public course is Palmer's first in South Texas and his fifth course in the state.

Slideshow

The Resort Course at La Cantera opened in 1995 and lured the historic Texas Open, one of the oldest stops on the PGA Tour, to its greens that same year. Winding through the Texas Hill Country, the par-72 course has been named one of the Top 10 public access golf courses in the U.S. by Golf Magazine and one of the best new courses by Golf Digest. The course, now home to the PGA Tour's Valero Texas Open at La Cantera is known for its breathtaking views, the most famous being the sheer, 80-foot drop from the 7th tee to the fairway
