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.

Course is in bad shape

All of the greens were in bad shape with dirt patches throughout. Major construction across 8th and 9th holes (appears to be for drainage) so these holes were converted to ~100 yard par 3’s. Course layout is difficult, especially for a municipal course. A few holes have blind tee shots and slopes on some fairways can cause a lot of slightly off shots to roll into the woods.

Do NOT play!!

Buddy came in to SA and wanted to play a nice course. This was NOT it! Website says there was temporary holes on #8 & #9 due to construction. We accepted that. What the course failed to say was that other holes were also shortened and temporary, the tee boxes were so hard tees were breaking, and the greens were made of mud. The fact that there were a lot of tee times available should have given us a hint the course was a piece of crap. The first guy I complained to didn't even know anything was wrong with the course. The manager came in and said, “we’re re-evaluating.” Don’t waste your time; go to a muni and save some money or pay a little more and go to a real course. Absolutely disappointing. The coarse should be embarrassed and GolfNow should discontinue offering the course.

Sad

Course used to be in decent shape…worth the 50 or so dollars to play. In recent years the course has fallen apart, the staff always say “it’s getting better, the greens are coming back.” They aren’t. The greens are 50% grass, and putting is pretty much obsolete on this course. The layout is actually very interesting and a challenging course, but when you make no improvements to your greens, you can’t sit and charge 65 for a 30 dollar municipal course. There are much better options in the area from Buckhorn, Landa Park, Bandit, even Northern Hills.

Under construction

Fairways are in great shape but the greens are a little rough. Front 9 is under construction so it is not interesting navigating the course right now. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Definitely one of the better courses in the area.

Non-qualifying, ongoing redesign and overall very poor atate

They are redesigning a number of holes and the first nine are all temporary holes. Overall state of the course is very poor. I would bot recommend this course.

Bad greens and course under construction

Played here for years, and can’t remember the last time the greens were in this bed of shape. Also, because of some drainage construction, multiple holes are not in their usual play condition. Not the end of the world, but should be noted when people are reserving.

My home course

We absolutely love Olympia Hills. The staff is always very friendly, drink selection at the bar is great, course layout is fun and the condition of the fairways and greens have improved quite a bit. There is currently work being done on the course but it doesn't take away from the experience. The team has worked really hard to improve conditions and it shows.

Bad Shape

Even if this course had no construction, the course is is very poor shape. Greens are bad. Fairways hard and concrete. Well placed shots run through fairways into places you would never have imagined. We paid $73 per/person. This track is worth about $35 for 18.

Front 9 Under Construction

The front 9 is a complete cluster F and beat up. They’re repairing or rerouting a creek on the front 9 which led to multiple temporary holes and driving all over. The carts GPS was even confused. The back 9 was in great shape. Friendly and compassionate staff, not their fault, hopefully leading to better future conditions.

Management Sucks

Frost delay. No update by email. 7 hrs to play 15 holes. Greens suck badly. Bunkers full of water, no rain in 4 days. Money should have been refunded. Nice layout.

Tee boxes are fantastic!

Since they over seeded for the winter the tee boxes are the best in town. The couse is in great shape for wintertime playing. The staff is friendly and the food is great too. This couse is one of my favorites.

Don’t waste your time

Booked online for $55 and at the course they charge $63 because of taxes and fees that aren’t disclosed. Showed up to the first tee with 3 other groups and the starter had no clue what he was doing. Couldn’t remember anyones name or cart number to get groups out. Bar staff saved the day for us and were super helpful.

Nice tee boxes and fairways. Greens need some help

Course is medium hard but forgiving on some of the holes. Par 3’s are long compared to other courses. Tee boxes are in good shape. Fairways are short grass but common for fall conditions. Greens however need some work. They are well worn and thin grass allows mud and shoe prints into the play making reading green impossible. I’d just assume 2 putt and move on if not sunk in two.
