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.

Still not in shape

Greens still in bad shape. Roll them every once in awhile. Ball bounces almost all the way to the hole on all putts.

T box’s hard as a rock. I know water is tight but dang. So many bare dirt spots. Several holes have 30-50 yard long bare dirt spots.

City of Universal City needs to put so money into basic course management. Watering and rolling and doing something about all the dirt areas.

Only things good with this place unfortunately is the driving range facility and cost are still a good deal and the folks in the clubhouse and snack bar are nice and friendly. This used to be such a nice course.

Greens are rough

Course is in decent shape considering the time of year but their greens are terrible. So bumpy even the short putts are unpredictable and bounce all over. If the greens were decent this would be a good course but it’s almost unputtable the way it is now.

Great Experience playing the course

My experience at Olympia Hills was very positive. The course’s variety of holes had nice framing of the greens with interesting hole layouts and nice layup tee shots.

Lots of elevation changes and quality fairways . The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating at the pro shop & the Bar and Grill .

I liked how the Marshalls maintained the flow of playing. The course was very enjoyable to play. I had a great time and will come back.

Course not up to par

Played this course a few years ago and it was nice. Even though it’s winter, the course is not in good shape as compared to other courses in the area. Fairways were very hard and very dead. The greens were fair but had spotty areas and needed to be shorter and smoother. Not a good experience at all considering the price being charged.

Good course to play

I've played here recently several times and like the course. For a beginning golfer the course is fun and challenging. For others more experienced, it might not seem so challenging.

Winter Golf

I know playing winter golf can have its challenges keeping up the course, grass doesn't grow and cart traffic causes damage to the course. I haven't played there in 15 years and really had enjoyed the course before but that was not the case this time. The first red flag was when the starter said the had replaced the greens with another kind of grass back in September 2024. After the 3rd hole we decided to just make it a 2 putt max and move on. They were super bumpy and wouldn't hold a line. It will be a while before I play it again.

Probably not worth it

For anyone that hasn't played this course, the front 9 is difficult but the back is wide open.

Even though they've recently be renovated, the greens are rough, fairways are dry and hard, and the pace is slow. Prepare for a 5-hour round.

Double check your credit card statement as well. I booked through golf now for $78.52 + the convenience fee but was charged an extra $10 in the clubhouse. Booking through Olympia Hills shows the same price and that the green and cart fee are included. FWIW,

the other 3 members of my group encountered the same issue.

Weather was decent for February, so I'll take being outside as a win.

Nice place for Golf

The course is in good condition following The renovations. There are still some spots that are thin, but it is winter time. One of the friendliest staffs you will meet. Highly recommend playing this challenging 18 holes.

Long Wait Times

Our foursome left after 7 holes. 1 pm tee time. Started backing up after 4 holes. We waited 20 minutes to tee off on 8 and finally gave up. Since the parking lot was nearby, we just left in frustration. Never saw a Marshall.

Pick up the pace, people!

Excellent, challenging course. The new greens are an improvement, albeit still a little rough around the edges. And they are brutal, lots of slope to deal with which is challenging for me as a new golfer. Love playing this course, but the marshals are too nice and could do a better job of getting slower players to pick up the pace. It's a muni, I get it, but c'mon people... when you see a group waiting at the tee box, stop looking for your lost ball, drop and hit, and pick up those short putts. If you are slow and know it, lwave faster groups through... it makes things better for everyone! :)
