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.

Challenging Course

The course is in good shape. The greens are firm and relatively fast. Each hole is truly unique by nature. Hole # 8 (Par 4) is extremely challenging and it’s not unusual for low handicap or mid handicap players to end up getting a 8 on that hole playing from the blue or white tees. Hole 15 par 3 is long and and very challenging especially if there is wind from the north or south.

Greens rock hard but nice

Great course right near home, great price, course is in nice condition continues to get even better as summer comes, I guess they redid the greens a couple years ago or recently and they are rock hard, the ball will roll no matter what. If greens weren’t rocks they’d be over 4 stars especially for the price. They were still in great condition just beyond Texas hard which I know.

Pretty fun

The new greens role nicely but are still extremely firm and it creates some crazy bounces. Teeboxes are nice, hopefully they can keep them in good condition. Fairways need a good growing season still. The grass is still very thin, making for some less than optimal lies. Carts don't have GPS, make sure you have a rangefinder or your own GPS.

Course Needs Help

This course could use some improvement/redesign. USGA should not rate this layout until shorter tee locations are added for senior/junior golfers. Hole 8 is totally unplayable by all but very best golfers due to unrealistic sloping into a deep ravine in two fairway areas. Many of the fairways today were littered with small tree branches and debris that a good maintenance crew would have cleaned up.

Could be better

The course layout is good. The greens look great but will not hold a shot and are very fast. On course staff is good but starter could be friendlier and provide better service. The course is a little rough in places but it is winter and it gets heavy play so ver understandable.
