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.

Hills

When you drive from Houston to San Antonio to play golf you hope to find something different. Olympia Hills was definitely different. The undulations of each fairway and elevate tee boxes made the course challenging and fun at the same time. The par threes were rather beautiful - there is nothing like teeing off 60ft or ore above your target.

My son's ball rolled into the trees and we almost stepped on two sleeping deer.

Only negative criticism would be the greens needed help. It was difficult read each put as your ball was too effected by all dead spots.

Tee times

Tee times need to spread further apart. We had an early tee time and right after we got done teeing off the Marshall insisted that we needed to hurry and keep with pace of play. This made our group feel rushed all day long.

Greens are poorly maintained

This course is too expensive given the condition of the greens. The rest of the course is in great shape. The poor greens plus the high cost makes this an easy pass

Good design, needs better upkeep

This is a good course and challenging. The greens many were in poor shape with bald patches and uneven with invasive grass dpecies. With good maintenance this could be 4.5 stars.

Enjoyable round of golf

Great layout with nines that offer different features. Greens need a little work, not otherwise course was in very good shape.

A little bit pricey, but not so much to keep you away.

Terrible greens

The fairways in decent shape. The greens are bad… very bad! The pace was terrible, took almost 5 hours to play 18. I have more stars due to the 2 course Marshall’s. Both very nice gentlemen.

Olympia

It is one of the courses we play the most. We have never had a bad round here. Staff is friendly and nice. The bar is quick to get you on your way when you stop in to refill the beer cooler.

Since we have had some good storms this year it’s very green and not dried out.

Missing key ingredient

The course and staff overall, besides the greens, were excellent. HOWEVER, there was more mud on the greens than actual grass. The greens were so bad that the old saying "...better than being at work" did not apply. I feel like it was a total waste of time and money and I'm quite disappointed to be honest. I know this course well and I fully expect them to recover, but they really shouldn't even be open at this point.
