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.

the club house guy was so rude, but, the course is greet.

As the title said.

the guy ERK did not follow pandemic guidance and verbally forced two players to share a power cart, who were not from the same family and had separate cart booking.

Beautiful Day

Good course with lots of trees, stay accurate or scramble from behind them. I got paired with two regulars so some course knowledge helped with some shots.Some sneaky water hazards if you aren't checking the cart GPS. Cart GPS didn't track other carts, so tough to tell on some holes if it was safe to hit or not.

Really enjoy playing this coarse! Great lay out and always in good condition. The only down fall in the restaurant isn’t dependable.

Greens were outstanding despite the unrepaired ball marks left by previous golfers. Fairways were very dry and hard despite evidence of watering. Overall a fun course to play.

No driving range!

The negativity of my review is entirely based on the lack of a driving range at this course. I had a lousy round because I couldn't groove my swing prior to going on the course. OK, I get they don't have room for a range, but they could put up a net that you could hit full swings into so your body is warmed up before teeing off.

Course was great. They had a tournament prior to our tee time and the restaurant and facilities were closed. That was a bummer.
