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.

First Time Playing Course

Called in advance to ask if greens were recently "punched". Was told "no", not until 10 May. Arrived and warmed up on chipping green. Left wedge on practice green. No one turned it in. Someone stole it. Tee'd off on first hole. Fairway was in good shape. When we approached green to putt, the green was completely washed out from water saturation. Impossible to putt due to exposed roots To our surprise, EVERY green was in this condition. Dirt & exposed roots. If the young lady would have been honest with me, we would have waited until groundskeeper performed landscape maintenance before playing. Instead, we drove over 30 miles to be disappointed. Recap. Club theft and horrible greens. That sums up our experience.

BAD GREENS

The overall course was decent, except the greens. They were like putting on ASPHALT. There was NOT a single green that has any grass. I think this was my last time ti play this course.

Holy crap greens are the word I’ve seen anywhere

People are great and fairways are good seemed to have overbooked since it took us 6 hrs to finish and we usually finish in 3.5 hrs. Greeds are the worst I’ve seen anywhere in San Antonio or local surrounding areas. Shot an 81 though should of been 11 under

Greens

There are bad greens there are terrible greens then there are the greens at Olympia Hills totally unplayable. When you consider two putting every green that is 36 strokes No other Club in your bag even comes close. So to pay$40 + is crazy. You would be better off not even playing as too attempt to play a round at Olympia Hills. The only fix is to tear them up and redo all the greens. This will never happen. Regardless of how much rain we get the greens are gone and will never come back. I live 5 minutes from the course my lawn that was failing sprang back too life with the recent rain not the greens at Olympia Hills. Save your money do NOT pay to play Olympia Hills!

$#!+ Greens

The greens on 4/28 were by far the worst greens I’ve every player. I would rather not play golf Han play this course again. Maybe would I play it again for $10. The staff should have warned us on the POOR quality of the green.

Time makes a huge difference

Played this course about 12 years ago and made back here recently. This course went 5 stars to 1 star during that time. Tee boxes were in bad shape, fairways were not much better, and easily the worst greens I’ve ever played on. Horrible conditions and way to pricey, don’t waste your time or money here.

Greens

Course fairways are nice and are better than most tracks in San Antonio right now. The problem is the greens. They are completely grass free and it doesn’t look like a quick turnaround. Not sure what happened but it may cause me to play elsewhere for awhile.

Dead greens

Greens were literally dirt. I’ve been playing golf almost 60 years. I’ve never seen greens this bad. And, they still charged full green fees. The course layout is nice. But, between the greens, and almost in need of 4 wheel drive to get back on the cart path, this course is more .38, than a 3.8 rating.

Beautiful hills, but awful greens

The front nine has great and challenging hills with narrow fairways and plenty of shade. The back nine is more wide open, less trees, and less hilly so it’s easier to play.

Greens (if you could call them that) looked liked hardened mud with grass mixed in them and were in terrible shape.

Awful greens

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.

Super disappointing

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!
