Olmos Basin Municipal Golf Course
The golf : One of San Antonio's most popular munis,
Olmos Basin opened in the early 1960s and has thrived despite its flood-ravaged
locale and sometimes questionable condition. The city renovated the course
in 1994, but conditions never became laudable until recent commitments
from the city's senior-level management. Nevertheless, it's hard to stand
up to some of San Antonio's spectacular tracks, and no matter what you
say, you pay for what you get. Olmos serves its purpose well, providing
a challenging golf course for the right price. A quaint, old-school clubhouse
and grill with tasty food enhance the experience. Watch out for crowds,
especially on the weekends, as walk-up play sometimes requires up to a
2-hour wait.
