Olmos Basin Golf Course

Olmos Basin Golf Course is one of San Antonio's most popular municipal courses and a fixture on the Alamo City Golf Trail, the city's eight-course municipal network. Originally designed by George Hoffman and opened in 1963, the course sits in a natural flood basin just north of downtown off Highway 281, with tree-lined fairways and a creek winding through many of the holes. Mature live oaks and pecans frame corridors that walked well before the modern era of cart-path-only golf. The course underwent a significant redesign by Jeffrey D. Blume (ASGCA) completed in November 2021, which modernized greens complexes, bunkering, and drainage while preserving the original Hoffman routing and character. Olmos Basin has hosted numerous San Antonio Men's and Women's City Amateur Championships over the decades, cementing its status as a local competitive venue. It remains one of the better values in South Texas public golf.
