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 Terrible Shape

Course is under construction and all greens are shot, simply unplayable. Worse thing was we were never made aware of these terrible course conditions. We drove 40 miles and quit on number nine when our golf cart broke down. Not sure I’ll be using golf now anymore after this.

Greens are completely unplayable

You literally can’t put on the greens. I assume they’re going to have to set up temporary greens and spend the rest of the season fixing them. Clearly they should be charging a lot less to plan these conditions.

very poor greens

I like Olympia Hills generally speaking, but the course conditions vary so much from month to month. The greens have been completely lost and I would consider closing the course during repair/replacement of the greens.

Renovations, Great fairways, Lost greens

Olympia Hills is a great venue which is going through some temporary tee set ups due to drainage renovations on two holes. This is a great lay out with great views and challenging slopes. Their fairways are immaculate! They have however lost their greens for the moments and they are bare. Due to the renovations and greens the facility has discounted their green fees which is good.

What about the greens?

While we knew that two holes were in the midst of a flood control repair and they were said to have "temporary" greens, we did not know that the course had no grass on the other 16 greens! Very disappointing

Lost the greens

They are working hard to improve several holes and have modified several holes so work can continue. This has been one of my favorite courses but when we arrived yesterday the greens were at least half mud. It is so sad I talked to a member and he said this started several weeks ago and seems to be getting worse.

Greens in terrible shape

Overall, this is a nice course that’s pretty challenging. But right now there are several holes that are being revamped and it’s shortening a couple of holes. The greens are in terrible shape. Nothing but dirt and mud. Staff is very friendly, though. .

The course is under renovation and has a few problems with the greens. Review should not be done at this time. Should be back to normal in 6 months

The course is beautiful and challenging when at its best. Much will change post renovation so it is unfair to review at this time. Recommend those interested in playing there at this time check with management on current conditions.

Don’t expect to putt well

Fairways were great. Greens were worst I have ever seen. Would have been nice if the person taking my money for my tee time to have at least mentioned that the greens are basically unplayable. Such a shame.

avoid like the plague until they’re done with renovations

- was never notified about the condition of the course
- every single green was unplayable
- backed up on hole one and didn’t really open up until hole 7 or 8. even then we were waiting for the group in front of us. ended up being a 5.5 hour round
- there was a lady on hole 6 or 7 asking for donations. normally i don’t mind listening to these but she was very rude and disrespectful

overall very disappointed with the condition of this course. played here multiple times last year and always had a good time. i won’t be returning anytime soon. maybe i’ll give it another chance after the renovations, but it’s not high on my list anymore.

Greens are horrible

Every single green is horrible. Fairways are in great shape but the greens are the worst I’ve seen since last year. The pace is horrendous but it’s made worse by “members” driving into you and standing on the tee box when you tee off. The starter was cool and even admitted he wouldn’t pay to play there. Shut it down and fix the greens or drop the rates to make up for the horrible greens.

First Time Playing

Worst course I have ever played

Hands down the single worst course that I have ever played. The course is currently under construction, and it should be shut down during this time instead of taking people’s money. First off, the greens had no grass and was only mud. In addition, stacked tee times led to waiting at least 10 minutes in between shots. Finally, there was a person on one of the par-3’s that was asking for donations for a non-profit which I found incredibly strange. While the non-profit is for a good cause, having someone ask for donations on the course is incredibly awkward and strange. Will never play this course again.
