Golf Magazine 2004 Gold Medal Resort Award
SAN ANTONIO, TX - The March 2004 issue of Golf magazine, which hits stands this week, presents the 2004 Golf Magazine Gold and Silver Medal Resort winners. The Westin La Cantera Resort has been awarded the prestigious Gold Medal, which is only given to the top 25 golf resorts in the country.
"It is an honor to receive an award of this caliber. We never stop our quest to become the premiere Four Star golf destination in the United States, and being recognized with the Gold Medal Resort award by such a prestigious publication, puts us in the company of high profile golf resorts such as Pebble Beach and Pinehurst, verifies that we are another step closer to our goal," said Anthony M. Cherone, General Manager.
The readers are the driving force behind the Gold and Silver selection process. Last fall the magazine asked 25,000 subscribers to indicate in a survey which resorts they visited in the past two years and rate them in various categories pertaining to golf and resort services. A panel of Golf Magazine editors analyzed the results and finalized the selection of 25 Gold Medallists and 50 Silver Medallists. The Westin La Cantera Resort is the only gold medal resort winner in Texas, with nine Gold Medallists coming from Hawaii. Receiving silver in 2000 and 2002, The Westin La Cantera's reputation as the premier golf destination in Texas is clearly resonating with golfers around the country. Readers' comments are included at the end of each resort profile and they again prove that The Westin La Cantera Resort has everything the golf traveler is looking for. "Loved it. Great service while on the course. The pool makes the trip enjoyable for everyone. Best resort in Texas to take your wife to."
Set atop one of San Antonio's highest points, The Westin La Cantera Resort was built on the site of an abandoned limestone rock quarry-literally, "la cantera" in Spanish. Named by Condé Nast Traveler as one of the "Top 30 North American Resorts" and one of the "Top 50 Golf Resorts in the U.S.," The Westin La Cantera Resort features 36 holes of championship golf, a state-of-the-art Golf Academy, 508 guestrooms, a secluded Casita Village, six outdoor pools, three hot tubs, our own Kids Club, a full cardio and weight fitness center and a full array of Spa services.
