Olympia Hills Golf Course

Staff was very friendly and gave good insight to the course. Greens rolled pure and lots of elevation changes. Wildlife and course in general is beautiful

We teed off at noon and there was not anyone behind or ahead of us. We played in 4 hrs and the greens were excellent.

Most Tee boxes were under repair and 2 to 3 holes were cart path only. We were not told anything about the course being under construction or repair.

The greens were in great shape.

I just don’t think we should have paid full price for what we got.

For the price it wasn’t worth what I paid. Mostly every tee box was moved under some type of repair. True distance according to the brochure was not accurate.

As to repairs workers working on the fairways were in the landing shot areas or they just stood there in my line of travel I can say hole 17individuals working at the bottom by the drainage just stood there never moved.

We had been told there was ongoing maintenance around the course and we were ready for it. What we weren’t ready for was the amount of work being accomplished while golfers were trying to play. Workers were laying sod around the greens while we were trying to approach the greens. They didn’t move large rolls of sod which were blocking the front of greens so approaches were more difficult. I would not have been as irritated had we not paid $137.00 for 2 golfers (which was the military discounted rate), while maintenance is ongoing, a reduced rate should have been offered.

That being said, the greens and fairways were in great condition for the most part. Forward tee boxes need work, but I hope these tee boxes will be programmed into the current maintenance schedule.

If you can negotiate a reduced green fee ($50 or less), give Olympia Hills a try. I have played this purse for over 20 years, and really love the layout and challenge.

75% of the holes have some form of construction going on. Tee boxes, sand traps, fairway drainage areas and slope and run off areas under construction…until all course improvements are completed a reduced green fee is only fair.

Greens are in fair to medium shape given they spent money replacing them a year or so back. Bunkers were being rebuilt now so they were ob, but that’s fine course improvement. The cost of a round is creeping up on some of the nicer courses in town for slightly better that average conditions. Either course quality needs to come up or cost of play needs to come down.

I am so glad that I played at This course prior to the resort course the following day which was lack-luster. Kudos to the grounds crew and sup. The course is in excellent condition and the greens immaculate. The pace was slow but when you are having fun, that doesn’t matter. I will definitely choose this course again and recommend to friends.

Course was very up and down lots of hills and valleys. The construction being done on the course was a downfall but looked like a needed thing. I would like to come play this course again after they are finished with the upgrades.

This will be a top rated course when renovations are complete. Fairways are lush and green. Greens were in excellent shape. We started at 7:00 am and didn’t see anyone in front or behind us. Unfortunately due to renovations, #2 was closed and #8 & #9 both par 4’s were both playing as par 3’s. Great elevation changes made course a little challenging but great layout and views.

Many fairways were under repair and had large sections roped off. Most bunkers were also under repair and roped off. Lots of dead or bald spots in fairways, as well as mud patches from construction equipment.

This is one of the best courses in the SA region . I like the atmosphere and the fact that the marshal kept the place of play up and the cart attendant was present on both side with 2 different attendants! I ate at the restaurant after a great round with great green! The food was awesome and the price didn’t break the bank! I will definitely be back multiple times this summer!

Drove in from Houston for stepson birthday. He loved course but pace of play after 7 holes terrible. Finally talked with Marshall and he said a twosome cut in front of couple of foursome and he caught it to late. We were waiting 10 minutes on each tee box. Great course just couple of knotheads not having respect. Actually had to quit after 14 so we could make dinner reservations

Great course but it’s under construction which wouldn’t be a problem if they priced it accordingly. Paying the same price with 2 holes virtually unplayable is a bit ridiculous. Overall great course. I’m sure it will be amazing when the construction is done.

This course is currently under a major reconstruction. All bunkers are not playable and some of the tee boxes are closed and shorten.

The lady taking care of confirming tee time and taking payments was very pleasant and very helpful in briefing about the course since this was my first time. The same applies to the marshal on the course. The tee time in the evening meant no delay and the opportunity to play alone. The condition of the course and greens was fine and and very playable. My thoughts and suggestions are as follows: It seemed like the distance readings on the cart were somewhat less that the distance appeared to be. However, as an alternative, it has been nice to play on courses that have 100 and 150 yard markers which seemed reliable. There are many locations where the fairway grass dramatically ends and goes to deep and thick vegetation with little chance of finding the golf ball when the ball is only one to three feet off the fairway. Just too thick and unsafe to have a chance of finding the ball in a couple of steps. Can the initial few feet be cut regularly to 5 to 10 inches to give the player at least some chance to find the ball?

All in all, I think you are doing a good job with the course while not over pricing. I do not play golf more than 1 to 2 times say over 6 to 12 weeks and was pleased to discover Mt. Olympia course which is about 15 miles closer than others that I have used over the four years I have been living in Texas. Keep up the good work!
