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.

Condition

I went to play for my first time ever and it was just unbelievable how bad it was. The fairways were ok some good some bad nothing to bad.

However, the greens were just awful not kept up at all and it’s like they didn’t even give it any effort to try. Just terrible. If you are thinking about playing there soon… don’t find a better course to play.

Best course in San Antonio

I play this course regularly, but have played many of the other courses around town.

Despite some greens having issues this is by far the most enjoyable course to play in this area.

Horrible greens!

Sorry but this course has issues! Greens are simply put awful!! Why would they even try to punch them when over 50% have no grass on them? I understand rains have put a burden but this is ridiculous. Rains have caused flooding on fairways so lots of dry mud apparent as well. Use to love the course but hopefully some care and extra work will bring it back to its glory..

Not going back

The greens were horrible and they should have discontinued for unplayable greens. Also pretty shady they didn’t provide golf tees in the golf carts. Pennies on the dollar investment for your clients.

Horrible course

This course is horrible. The greens are the worst I’ve seen in Texas so far. Got fairways that are ok, and the bunkers don’t have any sand. I would not recommend this course to my worst enemy.

Fun Course with Challenges

Olympia Hills is a fun and challenging golf course The front nine offers very scenic holes with hills and dog legs. The two par 3"s are challenging as well. The back nine is less challenging yet and little more open but still offers very fun holes. The course has very nice practice areas including the driving range (with new synthetic mats), chipping and putting areas. As far as the course condition, the tee boxes and fairways are in great condition. The bunkers and rough areasare well groomed. However, currently all of the greens are in horrible condition. They are making efforts to repair them, but it may take significant time. the course did provide a discount because of the repairs taking place, not I'm not sure if the discount is offered daily. We did not use the restaurant, but the club house and facilities are very nice. The prices are fair and the staff or great.

Poor greens

I played this course for the first time and the greens were horrendous. Worst I’ve ever played on anywhere in the world. For what they charge for a round, I expected much better conditions. Highly disappointed and likely will never play here again.

HORRIBLE

The best parts of this round were the staff, playing partners I was joined with, and the range was good as well (first time I've been there since they put in the mats). Sadly, it was downhill from there.

Ding 1: I played on a Friday, so I thought it should be quicker than a weekend round (have usually been able to finish in 4.5 hours or a little less). However, it took 5+ hours to finish this round

Ding 2: The fairways were good for the most part, but some tee boxes need work. Either too much wear and tear on some, or need mowing on others.

Ding 3: WORST OF ALL, the greens were absolutely terrible. They were the worst I've seen there and worst I've ever played on. It was worse than putting on aerated greens in my opinion and that didn't even look like what they were trying to do. You would putt and hope it bounced off of the pitch marks, mud spots, cleat marks, tiny bits of grass/weed/rocks/tees/sand/whatever else was growing and somehow find its way to the hole.

I've played here before (8-10 times probably) and I do like the layout but I have now had one too many bad experiences and do not plan on returning. The other most notable bad experience, was when one of the staff (I know they were part of the staff because they were the person that checked us in at the pro shop) started teeing off with 6 others right before we were able to start the back 9. Either they were a slow group that let everyone else except us pass and the person with the staff joined them for the back 9, or they just started play on the back 9 right before us and didn't let us play through. Regardless, the BACK 9 ALONE took us around 3.5 hours to play, with the entire round taking about 6 hours. If the weather wasn't perfect, I would've left after hole 12.

The fairways were fine. The greens were in horrible shape. Tee boxes were also in bad shape. Course layout is great but I won’t be back until the get the greens fixed. They were unputtable.

Fun day out with my son

Good course layout and excellent pace. Sunday at 3:08 and we motored through unimpeded. Greens were only just ok. Not sure if they had been punched in the previous 4-6 weeks, but could use some attention.

All around great day!
