About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 70
Length 6679 yards
Slope 116
Rating 71.6

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.

Pace of play on the front nine was atrocious, right at 3hrs to play front 9 because of tee times being double booked as well as a group of 6 playing in front of us.!.! However the Marshall did rectify the problems once we made it to the back nine.!.! Overall nice course for the price and the staff was awesome an friendly.!.!

Great Place

I usually play Oak Hollow once a week, weather permitting. They have done a great job on the greens and the course can be challenging, especially the 8th hole.

Very friendly atmosphere a well managed overall.

Hope your day is open

This is a muni course with a pretty good layout that would be an easy walk. The problem is with the greens....they are extremely poor and terribly inconsistent from green to green. Pace of play was extremely slow....saw a Marshall but have no idea what they were doing. Certainly not doing anything to speed up play. My playing partner said they were inexperienced and did not know how to manage a course. All In all.....I will not be back

why is it always so muddy?

It seems every time i play here it is so muddy, especially hole #1. I know it has rained recently but this course doesn't seem to take water well..many holes have significant mud on prominent parts of the course...I don't think will be coming here if it has rained recently...

Nice course, challenging

Fairy wife open fairways, greens have some unexpected undulation in them which costs some strokes. All in all, enjoyed course and will play again.

Slow slow slow play

First of all staff is very friendly. The only reason I can see they get customers is the green fee. Very reasonable. Play is so very slow. I have played there twice now and I am done with them. By the time I get to the back 9 I have lost interest. They let fivesomes out and what I saw was 5 guys that cannot break a 100 which is not the problem. They cannot break a 100 and it is like watching grass grow. I saw a fivesome, behind them a single, a fivesome, and another single. I did get some good nap time between shots. If you are a good player and do not like 5 plus hour rounds dont go here. Otherwise knock yourself out.

Rough greens

Good: Driving range was in good shape. Tee boxes and fairway were above average. Cart girl was awesome.

Bad: Greens could use quite a bit of work. Took us about 6.5 hours to play 18 which is never ideal

Discount golf until...

Played the course again this week and had a good round until I noticed this morning that they almost charged me almost double of what my remaining amount was on a golfnow reservation. I wouldn't pay that amount to play on this course

I played early trying to avoid the forecast bad weather, and I was pleasantly surprise by the course conditions besides previous rainy days, excellent pace and really friendly staff.

Good course to walk

Course layout is fun and the greens are in good shape. It is a walking friendly course because the distance between holes are short. Negatives on course conditions are the ground is pretty hard and there are a little too many bare spots outside of fairways. Employees are friendly.
