Olympia Hills Golf Course

I was shocked at the value that comes with this course. First of all, the grounds were very well maintained, especially considering the heat and lack of rain the area has had for the last few months. The grass was green and fairway was perfect. The greens were in good condition even though they were mostly lightly sanded. The only drawback that I noticed was that some of the bunkers actually had some casual water or were wet and packed making for harder bunker shots. The carts have GPS, which was a surprise. The hole layouts were great and there were several deer that you will happen upon to add to he aesthetic. I will honestly say that this was the most enjoyable round of golf I have ever played. So much value for 40 dollars and that includes the cart. I will definitely be back.

Interesting course to play for first time. Can't wait to play it again. I thought it was challenging.

The course Marshall on 19Aug23 was very rude. We were behind pace of play due to a group in front of us. After the group was advised to speed up we became his target and on hole 16 green walked up to our pairing and grabbed one of our wedges off the ground and proceeded to tell his we’re 30 minutes behind pace and our cart said 15 minutes behind. Our scheduled tee time was 0656 but we did not tee off until after 0700 because of the slower group in front of us had jumped in front of our tee time. We were on pace to finish at 4-1/2 hours which is average for a group of 4. The Marshall made us very uncomfortable, we play this course often and this was hands down the worst experience we have had.

No problems at all with the course itself, workers in pro shop and the starter at the first hole were super friendly.

Nice course had some spots that were dry and some tee boxes that were hard. But with south texas weather it’s to be expected

I had booked an 8 am tee time on Friday, August 4th for Monday, August 7th. When we arrived, the tee time was cancelled for some reason but the fellow in the pro shop got us off at 8:08 which was terrific. I always enjoy playing here.

Quality of course grass was average; greens with crabgrass, but perhaps the most annoying was the addition of my e-mail address to their newsletter, which was totally unsolicited and unwelcome. They should have the decency of asking before flooding my inbox with junk e-mails, or at least provide a button to unsubscribe.

Overall the course is in good shape. The greens needed a lot of work back on Memorial Day and they seem to be recovering. They clearly sprayed them green recently, but even without it they rolled better (with the exception of 3 or 4 holes) than they were a couple months ago.

First time playing Olympia hills for a somewhat new golfer. I really enjoyed the round, the greens were great and well kept, course was amazing and challenging. The starter was on top of things. Didn’t see the beverage cart but maybe 2 times during the 18 holes. Maybe they were really busy who knows. GPS in the carts is an huge plus. The online ordering for food and drinks did not work off the QR code in the cart. Seems like that should be removed if it’s not going to work. Over all really good course would recommend to others.

Played with a mixed couples foursome; pace was somewhat slow but bearable. Course Marshal on Hole #8 chastised us for slow play when it was readily evident that there were at least 3 foursomes and a threesome walking directly in front of us. Told him we couldn't play any faster than the group in front; when we arrived at Hole #11 there was a non-profit fundraiser occurring which was the reason for the delays. The marshal was simply an idiot reacting to another player's complaint. He did not ride to the point of the delay, but instead chose to chastise our group. Turned a great round for 4 into an average round...we completed the 9th and spent 15 minutes laughing at him with the 2 groups in front while waiting to play the 10th.
