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.

Mcnary

Course was in excellent condition. Staff super friendly. Play was pretty slow. Held up on the front nine by two groups of three who were walking. Held up on back nine by the same situation. Different players, had to slide in on back nine due to stopping for lunch, and restaurant was understaffed and slow....not the staff's fault. They were friendly.

What was going on?

Fairways like rough

Grass plugs dumped in front of greens

Tee boxes sanded with no tee markers

Decent iron shots landed on greens and rolled off…

I feel completely ripped off. Quit after 9

Hidden Gem

First time playing here. Great course. I loved the layout, the carts have GPS, and it wasn't busy on a beautiful day. If I didn't live so far I would join their men's club and play there all the time. It is a hidden Gen!

Golf at McNary

My wife and I played 18 at McNary on Tuesday. Due to wet course conditions we were limited to cart path only.

Because of this, cart path only, our round took 4.75 hours. We had to wait a few times for those to finish up in front of us.

Our golf balls required cleaning after nearly every shot.

Amazing Conditions

Had an awesome outing for my first time (won’t be my last) at McNary GC. The course conditions were spectacular for this time of the year in the winter. Greens were rolling real quick and smooth and the fairways were in such great shape (no mud baths) we even got some rollouts on some drives. Got to love a nice clean fairway with decent drainage for winter season to where you can swing your irons with confidence. Not the most spectacular views on the course and it’s in the middle of a neighborhood with each hole being a little trek, but with conditions like these I will definitely return to play and add it to my rotation.
