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.

Dry as a bone

GolfNow doubles down on reviews. See previous comments. I will add that # 8 is a brutal tee shot into the wind. Par 5 but the set up makes you push or fade tee shots into the woods. I imagine that in the springtime, once rains have greened the course up, it’s a gorgeous hole to look upon from tee box on # 2. After the front nine kicked my butt, I was ready to retire.

Disappointed,

Several years ago I played it once a week. Haven't played for 4 years since we moved out of the area and I was very disappointed in the condition of the course, especially the greens. It's now badly over priced.

What happened to the greens and bunkers?

I have played the course before and enjoyed the layout. Thought it was one of the nicer public course in the area.

I know it's winter time but the greens were in terrible condition. Most were like hard packed mud. And the bunkers had very little sand and a lot of rocks.

Potential

I golfed here 2/24/23. Staff were great, range was good and the layout was fun. Also got paired up with a great group of guys. Unfortunately, the greens were not in the best shape. Not sure if it was weed on the greens but there were overgrown random patches and dead patches. Course has great potential.

Dry winter golf

The pro shop was very friendly as were the Marshalls. The course, however was dry as a bone with more dirt than grass. The fairways were hard and thin making chipping extremely hard. The greens were dry with patchy grass with most green permeated by poa annua.

Course is in terrible condition. unorganized reservations.

This started on a bad note. The day before we played I called the course to see if I could add a third to my twosome reservation. I was told I could not and that it was totally booked. When we arrived at the first tee, the starter said we would be playing alone. I will start by saying this course is beautifully layed out. However, it is in terrible shape many bare dirt spots on the fairways and the greens look like thy have not been aerated in years. Greens are hard as a rock and bumpy with bare spots everywhere. It's a real shame because this is one of the prettiest courses I have played in San Antonio.

Course was horrid to play on.

Greens were awful! No matter where you placed your ball, it would roll off any directions due to the lack of maintenance throughout the entire course. Nice during the summer time but definitely not maintained for the price at all during the early season.

Unfriendly staff/course booking operations

If you need to book here, don’t use there call line. Their call service employee was very friendly. However, “apparently” their answering service and desk employees on site do not communicate well at all. When we arrive for our tee time, the desk employee was completely rude. He asked us “did you not get the message?… about the “frost” delay?” Becoming very annoyed with the fact of the issue. They had us in the system as he immediately found us when we arrived. He proceeded to tell us that “we’ll it’s because you called our call assistant (as provided via their website). That’s why you didn’t receive a message from us”.

The desk employee resolved the problem but in his own very rude way. It was very obvious that this course or employee knows of this problem considering how fast he was able to “accommodate” the issue.

On top of the tee time delay issue that we were not notified for, the call assistant service did not inform of the weekend spectator rules. When making the reservation, we told the employee that we would have 4 golfers and 2 spectators. He said “ya no problem”. When we arrived at the desk employee for check in, he became increasingly rude about the spectators being with us. Again, solving the issue very quickly as it seems that this is a known issue.

Defining not a happy way to start the day with having an someone who isn’t happy with their own job or life grump about onto other peoples day.

Please consider choosing a better way to handle reservations int the future Olympia Hills.

Golf course greens r in terrible shape. Course layout has a great front nine. Back nine is out in the open. Wouldn’t recommend it on a windy day. Staff was super friendly needs a few months before the fairways and especially the greens r playable.
