Golf course review: Olmos Basin Golf Course, San Antonio TX., 78216

I had the opportunity to play the Olmos Basin Municipal golf course the other day and here's my review.

  I was very impressed with the greens on this public golf course and will rank them up there with some of the private courses I've played in the past.  Even in the winter months, they rolled fairly quick and true. 

HOLE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 out
Blue 410 475 237 382 532 195 376 400 526 3531
White 400 453 217 380 510 180 360 373 503 3376
Men's Handicap 3 1 5 11 17 9 13 7 15  
Par 4 4 3 4 5 3 4 4 5 36
Red 378 400 159 306 464 149 354 325 469 3004
Ladies' Handicap 7 1 13 15 3 17 9 11 5  
HOLE 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 in/total
Blue 380 483 200 410 221 380 378 393 518 3363

Par 4 5 3 4 3 4 4 4 5 36
Red 301 403 131 350 161 316 344 318 420 2744
5748
Ladies' Handicap 14 18 16 4 2 12 6 10 8

Overall a good length and the holes had very good character.  I will add, that the course tends to become extremely crowded so patience is a virtue!  I think a good time to play this course would be during the week.

  Very nice neighborhood surround this course and it seems like they have been in place for a while.  Affordable housing, which is a plus!  The median home prices as of Feb 2009 are as follows:

26 Active - Residential Single Statistics
  High Low Average Median
List Price $179,900 $60,900 $122,427 $129,375
Square Feet 2110 961 1450 1444
Price/Square Feet $119.53 $43.62 $84.70 $85.50
         

   Pricing was reasonable in the off season which makes this a plus.  If you are in the area and looking for a good public course to play, then I suggest Olmos Basin; plus hole number 10 will boost you ego, as it's drivable leaving a manageable eagle put!  (I got a birdie, lipped out the eagle!)
