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.

My home course

We absolutely love Olympia Hills. The staff is always very friendly, drink selection at the bar is great, course layout is fun and the condition of the fairways and greens have improved quite a bit. There is currently work being done on the course but it doesn't take away from the experience. The team has worked really hard to improve conditions and it shows.

Under construction

The course is under construction and a few holes are temporary or closed. I played it when it wasn't under construction and was a good experience. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. I think they could offer a discount off the $55.00 rate during the week to help. I would recommend only because it's conveniently located for me.

construction

good tight course, but had a lot of construction going on so several holes were shortened and one closed, I felt that the price paid was too high, and should be cheaper until the construction is finished. had I known this before hand I would have played somewhere else.

Construction Zone

Overall the course was fine. There were a lot of temporary holes. I will let it go at that! When we got to the eighteenth hole…it didn’t exist! I had a good time in spite of the confusing rerouting, etc.

interesting layout

Course had three holes under construction due to drainage cheek issue. Will play the course again after construction is completed.

for this time of year, early March, better shape than most courses in San Antonio.

They need a marshall.

Pace of play was horrible. From the very first tee, we always two groups on a tee box at a time.

Our group was waiting on the tee for the group in front to tee off, then the group behind users waiting on the tee for us to tee off.

Will NEVER play there again!

The course had MAJOR CONSTRUCTION ongoing! (This was not noted on Golf Now!) On the front nine there were three holes converted to temporary PAR 3s. The pace of play was beyond describable. By the 4th hole there were 4 foursomes waiting to play! When checking in, they allowed a foursome to get pushed in that was 30 minutes late for their tee time. When the cashier called the starter who stated that they were already backed up but was told to put them in anyway!!! There was absolutely no monitoring of the pace of play!! There was a three-some ahead of us that spent 5-10 minutes after each shot looking for their balls. I think it was their first time playing golf. After 8 holes we jumped to club-house and complained.....nothing we can do about it....... We were offered a rain check for the 11 holes we didn't play..... Thank you, NO! I will never, never, never ever return this course!!! Note, I have played this course several times in the past and never had this level of play, poor course condition or unprofessional service! What a shame, it was a nice course!!

Bad Shape

Even if this course had no construction, the course is is very poor shape. Greens are bad. Fairways hard and concrete. Well placed shots run through fairways into places you would never have imagined. We paid $73 per/person. This track is worth about $35 for 18.

Brutal front nine

This course is under construction. The back nine was fun and challenging but the front nine is under major changes. The greens were not green, tee boxes were hard as rock. Probably will be nice after the construction is finished but that is likely a long time into the future

Nice Course, but Needs Work

Good course with a challenging layout and great terrain. However, it needs a lot of work. There is a lot of hardpan soil in many areas and the sand traps are terrible. Some have good sand, others are dirt or dirt mix and very inconsistent. The driving range is ok, but the hitting area is full of divots that have never been filled in.

Front 9 Under Construction

The front 9 is a complete cluster F and beat up. They’re repairing or rerouting a creek on the front 9 which led to multiple temporary holes and driving all over. The carts GPS was even confused. The back 9 was in great shape. Friendly and compassionate staff, not their fault, hopefully leading to better future conditions.

Winter Conditions and Wow... Windy!

This is not the first time playing thise course and based on the recent heavy rains and cold snap, the conditions of the course were rather poor, allow me to elaborate.

1. Rain water collection in most sand traps, so they were generally unplayable. This will of course improve through time.

2. Washed out areas on greens; there were a few greens where they were making improvements (obviously), but the weather made a huge impact to them being non-playable based on where the ball ended up.

3. Pace of play was horrific, even though I saw the marshal a few times; I didn't see him making any effort to move people along. Total time to play 18 was a little under 5 hours. (NOTE - the high winds did not help, but there were some players ahead of me that should have been playing a few tee boxes up vs. where they were playing from)

4. Would be helpful to see where other carts are on the GPS provided screens on each of the carts; as there are a few holes where this would be very helpful to improve pace of play.

The front nine are more difficult than the back nine and this is a challenging course. I will wait till the Wx improves to play here again. The starter was very friendly, but he could have spaced out the starts a bit more because we started the back up on hole 2 and it did not improve and it really backed up on holes 10 and 11; this did not improve for the remainder of the round.

There are some very nice views from this course and we had plenty of wild life in the rounds.
