River Walk (Paseo Del Rio)

Paseo Del Rio in the heart of downtown, is the pride of San Antonio. Lush green foliage lines the banks of this peaceful, historic river. Cobblestone walkways lead visitors to the river-level restaurants and shops. The river bubbles to the surface on the grounds of the University of the Incarnate Word and flows to downtown, threading its way through the city one level below the hustle and bustle of city streets. First called Yanaguana by the Payaya Indians, meaning "place of refreshing waters." Along the horseshoe shaped riverbend, the river is shaded by towering cypresses, oaks and willows and bordered by gardens of flowering ornamental plants. River cruisers travel the River Walk's three miles past unique retail shops, restaurants and nightclubs. More >

Golf

The Resort Course at La Cantera

Carved from the walls of a limestone quarry and nestled amid the live oak trees, streams and wildlife of the Texas Hill Country, The Resort Course at La Cantera is a visual stunner. The thrills include a tee shot from atop an 80-foot quarry wall where you take dead aim at the Six Flags "Fiesta Texas" roller coaster, "The Rattler." But don't be fooled by the dramatic scenery - this beauty can be a beast. Elevated tees help the shorter hitter, but accurate second shots are a must. The Resort Course at La Cantera is one of the last courses designed by the renowned team of Jay Morrish and Tom Weiskopf. And as proof of their success, the course has been the host of the PGA Tour's Texas Open at La Cantera since 1995. Par 72, Yards 7,001, Rating 72.5, Slope 134 More >

The Palmer Course at La Cantera

This exceptionally beautiful course, designed by golf legend Arnold Palmer and open since March 2001, plays out over 225 acres set on 370 acres of rugged, natural terrain. The course includes three signature holes, including the par 3 No. 4 hole, where golfers encounter dramatic waterfalls along the entire front of the green. Golfers will need a long carry over a lake to make the green. No. 4 also includes a poignant tribute to Palmer's late wife, the Winnie Palmer Memorial Bridge over part of the lake. The bridge bears a special message written by Palmer himself. The course's front nine has one challenging par 5, while the back nine includes two par 5's. All 18 holes provide magnificent play amid dramatic topography and scenery. Par 72, Yards 6,926, Rating 74.2, Slope 142 - More >
