With the opening of the West La Cantera Resort in San Antonio in May 1999, the La Cantera Golf Club now offers the best of both worlds to the business and leisure traveller, while still catering for the needs of devoted local clientele. The La Cantera Golf Academy, headed by nationally known insructor Bryan Gathright, offers a wide variety of programmes to enusre player improvement at every skill level and upon request, can develop customised programmes.

The golf club, and 18 hole championship course (home to the PGA Tour's Westin Texas Open), unique supplid clubhouse and superb, yet casual restaurant, has already been a high profile recreational option. However the resort on the hill brings additional amenities to guests creating a total package second to none.

A new 18-hole course designed by Arnold Palmer and the new Arnold Palmer Design Company debuts in Autumn 2000. Built on the site of an abandoned limestone rock quarry - "cantera" in Spanish - the resort pays tribute to the rich cultural and ethnic diversity that has shaped the character of the Lone Star State.
