About
McNary Golf Club is located on the site that once was the homestead of Charles McNary (1874-1944), prominent Oregon Congressman, lawyer, and vice-presidential running mate of Wendell Willkie. Since he was an ardent golfer, it is appropriate that this course was named in his honor at its opening in 1962. The course was developed by Jim Sill who wanted to build an enjoyable course for the average golfer. Initially, the McNary home was used as the clubhouse. Today, modern clubhouse facilities, including the well known McNary Restaurant & Lounge, overlook the course. All the necessary amenities are available. The golf course features lush fairways, spacious greens, and hazards that provide a challenge for all golfers. Claggett Creek comes into play on holes 1, 9, 10, and 18. The challenge and beauty of the course has also been augmented with several small lakes with fountains.

Frosty
Frost delay always sucks.. not the course's fault.
Groups were stacked up and they got us out the best they could but I wish a marshall was out today just to keep the peace up.
Overall it's a fun course with an affordable rate.
Would recommend! especially if the weather is nice.
Near Salem
This is a course that we would play repeatedly if it was less expensive. It's a good course for regular play at $50 or less if a cart is included.
Great Course! Great Staff!
Really enjoyed playing this course. It was in great shape considering the recent rain. Greens were well maintained and challenging but true. The staff and marshal were polite and friendly. Golf carts were in great condition. My only negative was absence of hot dogs and snacks. It was a Sunday with plenty of patrons. I would of preferred something to grab at the turn. But the course was and is definitely worth the drive from McMinnville.
Thank you, enjoyed it!
Thank you to the staff at McNary for honoring us on Veteran's Day! From past service Veteran's to those of us who are still serving in the military - thank you very much, greatly appreciated and hope you know that!
The two in the pro shop were quick to get me checked in, CART was clean and easy to access.
Practice green and chipping area were in great shape. The course was in great shape as well, from tee to green and everything in between. The course was wet, but that is to be expected when it rained pretty much all day and night before. That being said, there were no drainage issues anywhere, just wet ground.
Pace of play was average that day, to be expected when they were as busy as they were - and no doubt with honoring military members, there were a few groups of people who probably don't play golf as much as others, along with some age differences. Still completed the round in an acceptable time frame.
To all the staff - 5/5, 10/10, 100/100. THANK YOU again for what you did and keep up the great work!
Another enjoyable round at McNary
Big thanks to the McNary staff for another enjoyable round at your facility!
Larry in the pro shop was quick to check me in and conscious of the remaining time in the day to get the round in. Got me onto the course, gave a few tips to ensure the best possibility of being able to complete the round - and success.
The course was in good shape, especially for the time of year. Pace of play was good, especially considering how busy they were. Acceptable amount of waiting without being annoying or counter productive to time management.
5/5, 10/10, 100/100. Great job to all and thank you!
Fun course but bad conditions
The course layout was good. However...
This was my first time playing here and was a bit disappointed with the conditions of the course. The rough was long which was nice and challenging but the fairways were a bit overgrown as well and pretty sloppy in areas. We also happened to catch it on a day after they had just plugged the greens. Wish I would have known this before making the hour drive. I would try the course again in better conditions but only for a good deal.
Well kept course
The course is well maintained, if anyone books with cart expect to pay more due to pro shop worker charging an additional $10. The person tried to make an excuse that they don't normally do early tee times with any third party company. I advise not to play in the morning due to this inconvenience.
Tight fairways and good greens
Takes in a neighborhood to a whole new level, demands accuracy but a fun round with varying hole layouts
New course
Wanted to trry a new course and this was worth the drive.
Good course conditions
Good course conditions, been here many times and it was up to its normal solid maintained standards. Unfortunately my game sharp by any means, but it was an enjoyable day in terms of the course conditions.
good course
course was in very good shape, staff are extremely helpful
Excellent course
Nice affordable course tucked in to a housing community with an ample variety of shots to challenge a golfer. Does seem tight at times but wide open at others. Good course to practice precision golf. Greens were the biggest challenge of the course. Plenty of slopes, tiers and subtle breaks to make putting a real challenge. Overall a great course, competitively priced, and a joy to play.
Overall great club/course
I’m a member here and love the course, events, and the staff. Membership here is such a great value. Far less than most other clubs/courses. You also can join Courthouse fitness for a fraction of the full cost. A great partnership with Willow Lake Driving range also provides members with a practice area and balls as part of membership. There are also several membership options that will fit any budget.
Many do not realize McNary is also open to the public.
The staff is always super friendly and welcoming.
The golf course is challenging with a fair number of bunkers, ponds/lakes, creeks, and out of bounds around the houses. But the fairways and rough areas on the holes with houses are generously wide. The course is in fantastic shape with the greens rolling great.
A beautiful day at McNary
Great weather, great course, extremely helpful staff
will play again
the coarse was in great shape , the only problem was i was confused by the orange flags on side of the fairways , found out later by some young people they were playing foot golf . kinda cool
That's the least we can do to honor all Veterans on Veterans Day! Thank you for your comments and hope to see you back again soon!
