Olympia Hills Golf Course

I live in the Ft. Worth area and was going down for business to San Antonio and have always heard good things about this course. The course itself was in good shape but the greens were just awful! Most were basically just dead and soft mushy muck and with very little actual grass on them. It made it very difficult to figure out speed or breaks, and shots into the green just stuck and left huge divots. I would like to come back but not until the green issues is resolved.

The greens had almost no grass at all making it difficult to putt. It caused the ball to bounce.

Fairways were great. Greens sucked. Probably wouldn’t play this course again unless greens improve 200%

We have played here many times before. However the greens were the worst I have seen. The fairways are fair. However, the pace of play has gotten soooooo bad, I will not be returning. The frustration of being behind golfers who feel they belong playing from the back, search for balls on every shot, and you may catch the beverage cart once, maybe. It took us 4 hrs 20 mins to play 8. While the clerk was courteous, she was unable to provide us a partial refund or credit because we paid for round via third party. Condition + pace = not worth it!

Firstly this is the first and only round I’ll play at this course until I hear it improves. To start I have heard people compliment this course a lot so I wanted to play it. I heard the first green was rough but that it. The layout and bunker place were excellent. Holes played well and was a god length. The pars 3 were really surprising as 2 played over 220 and the others were still 170. The bunkers were washed out from the rain so I can’t comment on the condition of them. My huge pain and ultimate reason for the poor review is due to the greens. Now if I was told the greens were bad then I would have understood. I wasn’t told anything and the green are boarder line unplayable as the crab grass effect even a 4 foot put. Break doesn’t mean as the crab grass will move the ball the opposite direction. The greens were honestly 1/10 and are by far the worst I have seen in the austin and San Antonio area at the courses I have played.

Greens are in rough shape especially given the amount of rain we have received this year. Ball BOUNCES toward the hole.

Worse is they let 5/6 players in the same group, so if you’re behind them expect a 5-1/2 hour round.

I player there every six months and am reminded why I don’t play there.

I get up to the clubhouse to check in and as soon as I stepped In someone is asking for their money back. Not a good sign but I wasn’t my business. The lady in the pro shop checked me in and proceeded to take my money with no conversation other than “would you like a receipt?”. Meanwhile I walk Outside to a crowd of people saying they’ve been waiting for over an hour for a cart. The pro shop lady never said a word about that. I waited for over an hour myself and still didn’t receive a cart. Couldn’t even tee off. Greens were horrible as well. Zero stars if I could.

The course was nice and a little challenging. the staff were great. The only issue were the greens. they could use some work.

The course looked great for the most part. The traps were super wet and unplayable. Tees, fairways, rough, and aprons were in good condition. The greens kinda looked and played like a well manicured goat farm.

Like the layout, fairways are ok. Greens are nasty. poor poor condition. dead cover with bumpy patches all over. almost feels like the course has just given up on them.

The greens are terrible……get them better and would play there often

The greens are in really bad condition. Don’t know how long until they are back to normal.

The course was about what I expected in terms of difficulty and layout with the VERY large exception of the greens. They were horrendous. Mostly brown dead grass, several had huge potholes and they were just poorly manicured. It was nearly impossible to putt with any remote degree of accuracy outside of 15 feet because of the bumpiness and overall condition. I was very disappointed in the condition of the greens, but aside from that, it was decent course that I would like to play again.

We had an issue with players behind us repeatedly hitting the balls before we moved up and balls came by us several times. Called the clubhouse and let them know and they sent a Marshall out that was young 20’s that did not know how to handle an escalated situation.

The greens were sand and spotty crab grass and the pace of play was 6 hour round. Fairways were in excellent shape and staff was very pleasant. Didn’t want to make all bad comments

Okay Peeps, This used to be one of my favorite courses. Not anymore. This course has bottomed out. Our round of golf took 5 hours and 34 minutes. Seriously!! The starter seemed incompetent and the marshal was indifferent. There was a group of 7 on Hole 6....A GROUP OF SEVEN......SEVEN!!!!!! The greens were brown with bad patches throughout. I was just disappointed overall. It pains me to write this review, because I love this course....but dang! Completely unacceptable. The only bright spot was the Cart Girl... she was a delight despite the crappy, 5 plus hour experience.

Awful experience there today, 16 April. Took almost 5:45 minutes to play 18. The Marshalls did nothing to speed up play and just made excuses to justify it. There were multiple groups of 6 as well as a group of seven. Additionally, the greens were all brown with a lot of bare spots and weeds….by far the worst in the area. To make matters worse and add to the slow play, multiple groups had their carts breaking down. I know there just trying to make money, but they are sending people out way to close to each other and that is causing the back ups. I’ve been playing this course for years, used to be one of my favorite, however play gets slower and slower each time and course condition gets worse and worse.

Olympia Hills has really fallen in its course shape. Almost every green has fungus that left many areas sparse. In some cases we were putting on dirt. None of the greens allowed the ball to roll steady. In addition so much of the fairways were overwatered and soggy which made for a really muddy day. I have played Olympia for 20 years but won’t go back until they rework the course. Please avoid in 2023 as the greens will not rebound all season. Not worth the money. The city courses are in better shape.
