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.

Will be better after construction

Course has great character and potential, but the current construction really dampers the experience. The greens are nonexistent for the most part. Pace of play is ridiculously slow. 6 hours when I played.Marshall’s were no help.

Needs leadership and the construction to be completed badly.

Greens may never come back!

Currently some construction for drainage improvements. So, front 9 has some temp Par 3s replacing holes 8&9. Greens have not been good for awhile. Maybe the summer droughts have been too much. One of my favorite courses to play. I wish they would just shut it down and repair all of the greens. It’s always a challenging course, so I hope it can get back to its heyday.

Terrible

Greens aren’t green. Area near greens hard dirt no grass. This course is in trouble and that makes me sad because it was such a gorgeous course a few years back. Plus at 5 pm was told kitchen was closed for the night. My response: Lady look outside! It’s not night yet.

The most disappointing golf course ever

The golf course is in a terrible condition.
All of the green had no grass.
We only played 4 or 5 holes and walked off the course. We used to play there all the time, it was a wonderful place.
We made our business to comeback from SPI to play there.
I don’t have the correct words to describe how nasty this place is.
Disgraceful 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

Played on Sunday 7 April. This course has a great layout, however the greens fairways and tee boxes are not in good shape and have not been in several years. Their is never a marshall to montior pace of play they allowed a 5 some and then a group of 4 with 2 small toddlers. Round took nearly 5.5 hours with a wait at every tee box and not once did i pass a marshall or see one

Terrible Greens

Fairways were pretty good on most holes but the greens were atrocious. We putted through legit dirt on several holes. Not worth the money they’re charging at all.

Long delay to start due to Ladies tournament. The fairways were bare on many holes-a lot of GUR markings.

Decent Course

It's okay for a public course. I played on Easter weekend so the pace of play was rather slow. Had people hitting on us while on the fairway. The course is currently under construction and wasn't worth paying a full $55. The back 9 was in a much better condition than the front 9. Be prepared to bring your A game on the greens as they are hard as a rock. Would definitely play again.

Holes Under Construction.

First few holes were under construction which was a blemish on the course. The roughs were not always in good shape, most of the greens were in good shape. Not bad for this time of the year.

The course layout was great. Many holes had nicely elevated tee boxes and nice fairways winding through the valleys.

We were caught behind a High School Ladies tournament, which slowed down play tremendously for the first 5 holes.
