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.

Could be a great course. Due to previous weather the greens were just sand. Hope to play it again when conditions are better.

rough green day

Fairways were recovering from winter, but greens were the worst I've ever been on.

Greens are terrible !!!!!

This is the 4th time I've played the course in the last six weeks. The fairways are filling in nicely but the greens are absolutely terrible. The staff says they aerated and sanded them and they should come back. Maybe some of the greens but not all. They need to re-turf many of the greens and I don't see them being playable anytime soon. The greens are hard and mostly dirt. Wedges roll through the greens and lip-out putts roll away 4-6 feet.

I've always loved the course and staff but don't waste your money this summer. I wanted to ask for my money back but management was already gone for the day when I finished.

The greens had been aerated the day before. And of course they charge the same price as greens in superb condition.

Challenging and difficult

Moat of the fairways are narrow with very little room for errors. The greens were unpredictable both fast and slow.

Work the greens

Greens were the worst I've putted on in years. Bunkers never raked - even though I was not in one all day, you could see where ppl were in the traps and just walked out. Greens had more divot makes then the fairways. Weed made putting like going through a jungle. Marshall drove by 1 time and did so in the middle of my backswing. Sad.

Needs water. Overpriced

This place needs some rest and water. My gosh, greens were wore out and beyond patchy. So bad. Fairways were intermittent. Tee boxes were a hair better.

They ask too much for this course. I won’t come again. Can’t get over the burnt out greens that you wouldn’t play in 1,000 years.

HORRIBLE CONDITIONS

I’ve literally never seen greens in as poor conditions as I have when I played….the absolute worst in all my years of golf. And to top it off, the rate of play was allowed to go unchecked, and without any exaggeration, it took our group almost 90 min to play the first 3 holes. Most people don’t have 9 hours available in their day to play a single round of golf. Unreal. Definitely won’t be back!

Green conditions not so great

Fairways were good, greens were full of weeds and not smooth at all. For the money spent i would like better greens. Alamo courses were way better

terrible

course was in bad shape, not much grass on the greens.

no marshall and there hasn't been one for months this could explain why it took thirty minutes to play the 10th hole i stayed to play 11th hole then left the course. not the first time they needed a marshall on the course but definitely the worst.

Nearly there

Course has a fun layout that requires some ball placement when necessary. Fairways and tee boxes have good grass but it’s the greens that leave you wanting more. Most, if not all, are in very poor shape. If they could put in a little work, it’d be nearly there.
