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.

Slow pace of play due to girls golf tournament

The course was in good shape, however the management at the course scheduled / stacked so many people to t-off during a girls golf tournament, which made for tremendously slow pace of play while the girls were still playing. If you book this course, just make sure there are no golf tournaments scheduled for the day you’re playing.

Too much construction

The course has potential but too many Par 3s now due to construction. Several temporary holes. Greens in poor shape too.

Olympia Hills in Good Shape

It may be early in the year and much needed drainage work being done but Olympia Hills is in good shape. Fairways and greens growing in nicely.
Always friendly staff and great value.

Under construction

The course is under construction and a few holes are temporary or closed. I played it when it wasn't under construction and was a good experience. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. I think they could offer a discount off the $55.00 rate during the week to help. I would recommend only because it's conveniently located for me.

construction

good tight course, but had a lot of construction going on so several holes were shortened and one closed, I felt that the price paid was too high, and should be cheaper until the construction is finished. had I known this before hand I would have played somewhere else.

They need a marshall.

Pace of play was horrible. From the very first tee, we always two groups on a tee box at a time.

Our group was waiting on the tee for the group in front to tee off, then the group behind users waiting on the tee for us to tee off.

Construction Zone

Overall the course was fine. There were a lot of temporary holes. I will let it go at that! When we got to the eighteenth hole…it didn’t exist! I had a good time in spite of the confusing rerouting, etc.

Will NEVER play there again!

The course had MAJOR CONSTRUCTION ongoing! (This was not noted on Golf Now!) On the front nine there were three holes converted to temporary PAR 3s. The pace of play was beyond describable. By the 4th hole there were 4 foursomes waiting to play! When checking in, they allowed a foursome to get pushed in that was 30 minutes late for their tee time. When the cashier called the starter who stated that they were already backed up but was told to put them in anyway!!! There was absolutely no monitoring of the pace of play!! There was a three-some ahead of us that spent 5-10 minutes after each shot looking for their balls. I think it was their first time playing golf. After 8 holes we jumped to club-house and complained.....nothing we can do about it....... We were offered a rain check for the 11 holes we didn't play..... Thank you, NO! I will never, never, never ever return this course!!! Note, I have played this course several times in the past and never had this level of play, poor course condition or unprofessional service! What a shame, it was a nice course!!

Brutal front nine

This course is under construction. The back nine was fun and challenging but the front nine is under major changes. The greens were not green, tee boxes were hard as rock. Probably will be nice after the construction is finished but that is likely a long time into the future

Nice Course, but Needs Work

Good course with a challenging layout and great terrain. However, it needs a lot of work. There is a lot of hardpan soil in many areas and the sand traps are terrible. Some have good sand, others are dirt or dirt mix and very inconsistent. The driving range is ok, but the hitting area is full of divots that have never been filled in.
