Oak Hollow Golf Course
About
After 50 years, the old 9-hole McKinney Municipal Golf Course shut down to make room for the new 18-hole championship layout now known as Oak Hollow. This new layout, designed by Maury Miller, opened in 1998, featuring rolling terrain that routes around six manmade lakes.
Miller’s design is particularly friendly from the middle tees, playing a fair 6,277 yards with several short par 3s and many average-length par 5s. The number one handicap is No. 15, a 423-yard par 4.
Getting there : Take Hwy. 75 north to Hwy. 380, then head east to Hwy. 5 (McDonald St.). The road veers and leads you 1 mile to the course.

Not for me
First time out and more than likely my last. Greens were supposedly good according to reviews and others, I need to take other people’s reviews with a grain of salt. The greens here are just dead grass, there are spots on almost every green that are going near bare. Nothing about the course or layout was special, nothing wowed me. Usually I can find a redeeming quality for the cheaper courses like the layout being fun despite awful conditions, this course didn’t hit that mark for me. Only two par 5s on the whole course which I tend to dislike, a lot of the par 4s were shorter which I also tend to dislike and the par 3s were longer which I equally tend to dislike. On top of that, what I thought would be at least decent greens turned out to be just dead with a lack of care prominently showing. I find myself commonly saying this, this course (and many others) is nowhere near as good for the value when compared to places like Sherrill Park, Pecan Hollow and Watters Creek. With all that being said, this course probably suffers from the twilight rounds that could care less about adequately taking care of a course while playing it. I went on a Monday afternoon and it was a full course, most of the golfers you’d see out there very obviously weren’t the type to fix their marks or divots - the course shows it too.
Perfect spring day for golf
I was pleasantly surprised by how good a condition the course was in. The greens were really good (& fast): the pace was good; the value was good. I enjoyed myself very much. I will be playing again in the future.
Play elsewhere
In my opinion, there’s no excuse for the course to be in that bad condition with the weather we’ve had. Several times I was in the “fairway” and there was no grass mud and extremely firm like hitting off of concrete. I won’t even get into it if you don’t hit the fairway. In my opinion, look elsewhere, especially for what they charge. The staff was very friendly, but that’s about it.
Didn’t even get to play
I was there at 11:30am for my 12:20 tee time! They filled my spot and then told me to go with another group that would have made 5! I declined and left. Didn’t even get to play the round.
Sick of crappy greens
I wish someday a golf course would give a discounted rate for a round of golf after they get done sanding them considering the green is really the most important part of the round where I can really make or break your score not knowing about sanded greens is number one a huge surprise but number two just not worth $$65 for the round not to mention the fact that the driving range was closed so we had no warm-up!
Course in very good shape.
The course is in very good shape. Pace of play was good, being spring break lots of families with kids so a little slow. Staff was very attentive and did a good job.
Fun Course/ Good Value
Fun course to play, several of the holes can be a real challenge for golfers of any level. Hole 8 is a monster, no place to go right, left trees. Good luck. All in all this course is worth the price. Nice staff.
Overall
This course is taken care of nicely (just need the players to help sand pivots and use a tool on the green). The staff is one of the best around. It's ran very well, from the knowledgeable counter, friendly and good meal staff, starters and marshalls all the way to everyone taking care of the course/range. Friendly and courteous players and haven't found anyone i wouldn't play with when I've been there.
Too Expensive
This course is supposed to be an affordable city course, but it has really gotten expensive. 74 year old man playing 9 holes. Gets dark at 5:30 so we tried to get 9 holes in after 2:30. $44.00. Rediculous, should be $25-$30 tops. This is not that nice of a course. Should senior rate, winter rate, twilight rate. And the cart was dirty with torn seat. Changes need to be made for seniors. Thank you.
