The Westin LA
CANTERA RESORT
San Antonio Texas
This resort is the recipient
of numerous honors and awards including:
-
Golf Magazine's
2004-2005 "Gold Medal Award,"
-
the prestigious
Condé Nast Traveler's 2005 "Gold List" and "Top 100 Golf
Courses," and
-
Travel and
Leisure magazine's "500 Greatest Hotels in the World"
A hilltop retreat that combines the
best of golf and the best of luxury. With six pools, health club and spa
services, tennis courts, unique dining options, a kids club, three hot
tubs, flexible and spacious meeting space, and golf options second to none,
rest assured there’s something for everyone in your group.
In addition to the championship18-hole
Resort Course at La Cantera—home of the PGA
Tour’s Valero Texas Open
at La Cantera—the resort gained another 18 holes in the spring of 2001
with the opening of the Palmer Course at La Cantera, designed by golfing
legend Arnold Palmer. The resort’s acclaimed Golf Academy features state-of-the-art
equipment, a talented staff, and specially designed corporate and group
programs.
La Cantera has been the site of the
PGA
Tour's Texas Open since 1995. Located on the north side of town,
this thrill-a-minute design by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish has made quite
a bit of noise since its debut. It was a Golf Magazine "Top 10 You Can
Play" pick for 1995 and continues to set its sights high, with a 500-room
Westin grand class hotel.
Speaking of roller coasters, the
seventh hole on The Resort Course provides one of the most remarkable scenes
in all of golf. The tee shot on this 316-yard par four drops 80 feet down
to the fairway, set in the bottom of an old limestone quarry. However,
your eyes seem glued to what sits to the left of the hole: The Fiesta Texas
Amusement Park, complete with "The Rattler," a huge wooden roller coaster
directly on the other side of a fence from the green. Every 40 seconds
or so, your concentration is interrupted by the shrieks of yet another
group of thrill seekers as they cascade down the coaster's initial drop.
