Olympia Hills Golf Course

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!!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
