The Palmer course at La Cantera, San Antonio, TX
When you think of golf, most do not think of Texas, but
there are some great courses in San Antonio otherwise known as the Texas Hill
County.
The Resort Course at La Cantera hosted the Texas Open when
it opened in 1995, it’s a really fun course to play and the 80 foot drop at the
7th tee to the fairway below is awesome some people call this hole
The Rattle Snake as you can see the Iron Rattle Snake Roller coaster ride of
Six Flaggs in the back ground.
The Palmer course at La Cantera has the highest peak in San
Antonio and there are several great views from this course with a spectacular
finish consisting of 3 tiers on the 18th hole and the water that
comes into play. You might want to snap
a quick photo on the Winnie Palmer Memorial Bridge, a tribute from Arnold
Palmer to his late wife Winnie.
After golf, you may want to head to downtown San Antonio to
the Riverwalk. The famous Riverwalk has
several restaurants from cafes to fine dining and everything in between or just
sit at one of the outdoor restaurants/tables with a beer and people watch.
If you are looking for a major challenge, the Hill Country
has TPC San Antonio, which consists of the Canyons and the Oaks. You will need to stay at the JW Marriott San
Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa to get tee times on these two
courses.
You also have Spring Canyons, the Hyatt Hill Country, The
Bandit, the Quarry and Silverhorn. So if
you are looking for that “Different Destination”, look no further than the Lone
Star State.
