Westin La Cantera Resort, San Antonio: The World’s Best Golf Courses

Texas Hill Country offers a beautiful backdrop for some of the finest golf courses in the world. Perched atop one of the highest points in San Antonio, the Westin La Cantera Resort was built on the site of an abandoned limestone rock quarry, and its award-winning golf courses fittingly feature artistically carved rock and colorful foliage. The list of accolades is long and include Golf Magazine's 2006-2007 "Silver Medal Award" and Conde Nast's "Top 100 Golf Courses." (Non-golfers in your crew will find plenty to write home about at this hilltop retreat, with six pools, tennis courts, a health club, and fine restaurants.) In addition to the championship 18-hole Resort Course at La Cantera, home of the PGA Tour's Valero Texas Open at La Cantera, the resort also offers the 18-hole Palmer Course at La Cantera, designed by golfing legend Arnold Palmer. Headed up by Mike Lamanna, the resort's acclaimed Golf Academy offers a wide variety of customized programs, including specially designed corporate and group programs.
