Olympia Hills Golf Course

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.

nice course for the money except greens are the worst i've seen here in a long time

We are running out of sub-$100 per round courses in San Antonio. Thankfully Olympia Hills has not lost its mind and is overcharging for a nominal course.

However for that same low green fee you get— people backing up the #2 tee box which is a par five because they won’t tee off until the group ahead of them is off of the green.

You have people who get out of their cart, walk 100 yd or more over to their ball, walk back to the cart to get a club, and then hit a 15 yd topped shot and goes through that time suck all over again.

And before anyone says,” tell a Marshall” let me add that there were none that we saw. When we book our round, Golf Now gave us the four hour window and I joked “what if we’re not finished?” Well maybe they should cut you off at the four hour mark to get people to hurry.

It’s not a sin to be a bad golfer. It is a sin to be a slow golfer.

The rest of the course is just fine. Sure some of the tee boxes are not in great condition and some of the greens and bunkers (especially those ones holding ponds of water in them) need work but this is a public course and it is in good shape for that. Definitely worth the money provided you don’t get stuck behind two somes that are slower than five-somes.

No grass on greens or fairways. Sometimes 3 groups on a tee at the same time. No ranger in sight. Simply the worse course we have ever paid for. Stopped after 9 holes

Only 8 minutes between tee times. 6 hour round. Overpacked. 4 to 6 somes on every tee, fairway and green on each hole. Greens totally burnt out. Count even keep the ball on the green.

Since they over seeded for the winter the tee boxes are the best in town. The couse is in great shape for wintertime playing. The staff is friendly and the food is great too. This couse is one of my favorites.

Frost delay. No update by email. 7 hrs to play 15 holes. Greens suck badly. Bunkers full of water, no rain in 4 days. Money should have been refunded. Nice layout.

Booked online for $55 and at the course they charge $63 because of taxes and fees that aren’t disclosed. Showed up to the first tee with 3 other groups and the starter had no clue what he was doing. Couldn’t remember anyones name or cart number to get groups out. Bar staff saved the day for us and were super helpful.

Course is medium hard but forgiving on some of the holes. Par 3’s are long compared to other courses. Tee boxes are in good shape. Fairways are short grass but common for fall conditions. Greens however need some work. They are well worn and thin grass allows mud and shoe prints into the play making reading green impossible. I’d just assume 2 putt and move on if not sunk in two.

I love playing golf. It's a humbling game. I've learned that you can not be in a rush. Patience is important. Saying that, pace of play is an issue for some folks at this course. I reside in Florida and was in Texas for a few days. I can not compare Florida golf to Texas golf. Pace of play was 45 minutes behind. I was not in a rush so it didn't bother me.

The track layout was nice. Conditions were not top tier but it was ok. Staff wasn't the friendliest.

For the price it was good. I had gotten a hot deal and had a coupon. If I had paid full price I wouldn't have had as good attitude about it.

I wouldn't recommend this course to my friends and will not be heading back here as a paying customer. If it was a complimentary round then I would play it for sure. You get what you pay for.

If you are an experienced lower handicap golfer stay away from this track. Higher handicap new golfers this is the place for you.

Course is a little over priced. Play is to slow. Should not allow five players. Marshall needs to do a better job of monitoring.. Especially when group of three and two or stuck playing behind.

Only been playing for 3 months and was a great course. Beautiful Par 3 with the drop down view came an inch n half away from a HOLE-IN-ONE but came out with a birdie. Look forward to more future visits
