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.

First and last round
This is not a golf course, the layout is so bad. From the back tee you don't even know what your fairway. Green in worst condition in the area. Definitely not worth the money. Can't even compare to courses like Firewheel.
Rained out
Greens are not in the best of conditions. Course layout is difficult if it's your first time out. GOOD PRICE, GOOD SERVICES AND FRIENDLY STAFF.
My round was rained out after the first three holes.
If the "Yellows" become greens I might play again
I played this course because a friend be paid for me. If I paid any money to play this course I would have been upset. Most of the time I couldn't tell if I was in the fairway or the rough because it all looked the same. The greens were rough. Like I had a better chance chipping the ball to the hole than putting. It probably would have bounced fewer times. It seems like it would be a fun course but the fairways and greens were just trash. Especially for $30 or whatever my friend paid. Hopefully all this rain the last month has helped get the course in better shape. I will let my friend play again before I spend my money to play there.
Condition of Greens
The course was in good condition with one exception - the greens were AWFUL. They are old style bermuda and had patchy spots everywhere - had green paint to cover bare spots and had not been mowed.
I have played here several times in the last few years and the greens were OK - something has gone wrong recently.
Greens need help
Over all the course is good. The greens need some serious help they are hard and fast with areas that need to be patched. When you putt the ball it bounces across blank spaces on the greens. Some greens are ok but the majority have issues.
All good except bumpy greens
The course is in good shape except for the greens.
probable need 3 weeks to smooth out the greens for good putting.
Greens succumbed over the past winter
What was once a course with some of the best greens anywhere has now become unplayable. Something happened to these greens over the winter because just a few months ago they were not too bad. Now every one of them seems to have been attacked by some sort of fungus or really bad grass killing bug. These greens are pretty much unplayable now.
The photo attached is one of the greens that is in good condition.
Course conditions
Greens were the worst I have ever seen. Spray painted, mess. Large hosese laying on several holes, and most cups were failing over. Ok for under 30 but not worth a dollar more
The Hollow
Nice course, a challenging layout, friendly staff.
Times and Seasons
Be warned playing ANY public courses around this time of year (late spring) as fairways and greens tend to be in less-than-ideal conditions. (dry, brown, fast -> greens especially) We lost a few balls that wouldn't have been lost at other courses due to this. Course can be challenging to navigate, so make sure you cross-check your scorecard with the hole marker so you don't play the wrong hole. Other than that, pretty smooth play! Excited to play it when the grounds are in better shape.
thrid time
This was the 3rd time i have played there and wonder why the pace of play is always so slow waited at every tee box, the fairways were ok but the greens need help bad kind of looks like they were painted wont hold a shot and very bumpy running a lawn mower over the tees could also help, but at least this time they did not run out of hot dogs or hamburgers like last time at 1.30 in the afternoon. it is a fun course to play but i could live without having to deal with that hole 8 where did they come up with that one
Played there with 13 year son on Sunday afternoon because all other couses were sold out.
The weather was perfect, expected the slow play, but it was beyond slow course.
The condition of green was horrible. Too many bold spot. Worse than tee box of some other courses in Plano.
Where are the greens?
Don't know what happened to the greens, but they are in terrible shape. They have been this way for at least a month now. They do not hold a shot into the green and then putting is at times like working through a maze to get to the hole. Only worth the $12-$15 on GolfNow, but the normal rate in the mid to upper $20's depending on the time and day of the week.
Horrible!
Course looks like a pasture, fairways are horrible greens even worse. Some mowing and weed killer would be a big plus. Folks don't waste your money . Pace was so slow because everyone was looking for their balls in the weed infested fairways.
Greens in really bad shape. They should us to play there!
The pace of play was horrible. The greens were pretty much unplayable. I didn't see a marshal at all. The cart cut across the fairways and served people in the middle of a fairway and slowed play for everyone behind them. I won't be going back. A friend suggested we play because it was cheap. I rather pay more money for a better over experience.
Needs Work
Greens in bad shape as well as most of the fairways. With the course in this condition now, I can only think it'll get worse as the summer gets closer. We'll skip it the rest of this year and maybe try it again next spring.
Good course, horrible greens.
I like the value of the course and most everything is great except the greens. They were in horrible shape. Very sandy and no grass in a lot of sections. Some of the worst greens I've ever played on.
Greens are very bad
I play Oak Hollow a lot and really like the course and staff. They recently cut the greens too low and they have little to no grass. Not sure how long it will be before they grow back.
Challenging course. The grass was aweful.
Lots of dirt and the greens were bare
