Olympia Hills Golf Course is very exciting and enhances San Antonio's reputation as a golf destination. A unique combination of natural topography and man-made mounds and bunkers make this a super course. Native South Texas vegetation and golf course grass seed formulations on fairways and greens will provide state-of-the-game playing surfaces. The views are spectacular, with several holes playing to greens well below the tees, while other lead to a significant rise to reach the putting surface. Fairways, which on some holes are tight, are often sloped and guarded by bunkers. The tips will not be played by the faint hearted, but with four sets of tee boxes, the course can be enjoyed by all levels of players.

Temporary Greens

Got to the golf course and when checking in, I was told that all of the greens are being re-sod and they had temporary greens on all holes and I believe four of the holes were closed.

Besides that, the course was okay. One good thing was that I was told I could play as many rounds as possible, and I played two rounds, which almost felt like one round at most courses.

Olympia Hills

This course was in the worst condition I have ever seen any course. All 18 greens had severe green damage that looked like chemical damage. Tee boxes did not have this damage. Grrens were mostly cracked dirt with very little grass. there was nothing on course website about this damage and no notice from staff when checking in. Golf Now had no notice on booking site. Extremely disappointing after long drive to course.

Construction and givemes

When you pull into the course, you’re greeted with a nice clubhouse and a beautiful practice green. Once you go to play your round however, the course is under construction and the tee boxes are chewed up. The greens are some of the worst I’ve ever seen. Dried out and mostly cobblestone looking dirt. My buddy and I had to give club length givemes as the greens are unreadable

Needs attention

Majority of the Tee boxes are scalped and greens are just dirt patches. Some of fairways are in decent condition. Used to love this course but right now it’s not worth the price.

Not so envious Greens

Start with bad: Construction through the front nine terrible gave serious Billy Madison with a touch of mini golf vibes. We were told on arrival that the greens were in kind of bad shape (understatement) when in reality I do not believe there was any grass on them, only mud. Made it hard to want to putt after making it to the green. Carts had torn seats even though we were among the first to show up at the course.

Good: clubhouse was clean and staffed with friendly people. Fairways were nice and well maintained. Cost was decent due to maintenance but probably still high, $50 and can’t really putt is meh.

Dead greens

The condition of this course is the worst I have ever seen in my entire life. Place of play is also incredibly slow because they pack tee times back to back.

BAD Greens

All 18 GREENS have been destroyed. I was putting on crusted dirt. I was later told the Green's Keeper tried to rid the green of something and instead KILLED every GREEN. The course did not reduce their rate or disclose the deficiency of the greens. I do not know when or if I will play at this course.

Course conditions

The course layout is very good, fairways in great condition. However, the greens are terrible, hardly any grass on them. This wasn’t mentioned on the website for making t times. If they repair the greens, it would be a great course to play.

Literally, no greens! They are without grass! And then there are two extra par 3’s because of a flood control project!

interesting layout

Two to three holes are under construction, they don't know when they will be finished. At least 90% of the greens are dirt. No information on the website on condition of the greens.
