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.

Terrible

Greens aren’t green. Area near greens hard dirt no grass. This course is in trouble and that makes me sad because it was such a gorgeous course a few years back. Plus at 5 pm was told kitchen was closed for the night. My response: Lady look outside! It’s not night yet.

Greens may never come back!

Currently some construction for drainage improvements. So, front 9 has some temp Par 3s replacing holes 8&9. Greens have not been good for awhile. Maybe the summer droughts have been too much. One of my favorite courses to play. I wish they would just shut it down and repair all of the greens. It’s always a challenging course, so I hope it can get back to its heyday.

Sad

Course used to be in decent shape…worth the 50 or so dollars to play. In recent years the course has fallen apart, the staff always say “it’s getting better, the greens are coming back.” They aren’t. The greens are 50% grass, and putting is pretty much obsolete on this course. The layout is actually very interesting and a challenging course, but when you make no improvements to your greens, you can’t sit and charge 65 for a 30 dollar municipal course. There are much better options in the area from Buckhorn, Landa Park, Bandit, even Northern Hills.

The most disappointing golf course ever

The golf course is in a terrible condition.

All of the green had no grass.

We only played 4 or 5 holes and walked off the course. We used to play there all the time, it was a wonderful place.

We made our business to comeback from SPI to play there.

I don’t have the correct words to describe how nasty this place is.

Disgraceful 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

Terrible Greens

Fairways were pretty good on most holes but the greens were atrocious. We putted through legit dirt on several holes. Not worth the money they’re charging at all.

Long delay to start due to Ladies tournament. The fairways were bare on many holes-a lot of GUR markings.

Under construction

Fairways are in great shape but the greens are a little rough. Front 9 is under construction so it is not interesting navigating the course right now. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Definitely one of the better courses in the area.

Non-qualifying, ongoing redesign and overall very poor atate

They are redesigning a number of holes and the first nine are all temporary holes. Overall state of the course is very poor. I would bot recommend this course.
