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.

Fun level of Challenge

I really enjoy this course because it is moderately challenging and somewhat forgiving. I get bored with courses where every par 4/5 you pull up to the tee box, automatically grab the Driver and just blast off. I like a course that makes you strategize a little bit, and this is one of them - for a great value too. I used just about every club in my bag, and that makes for fun golf.

When you do have a mishit, it's not so heavily wooded or brushy that you can't find your ball. In fact, you're likely still in a position to recover on your next shot fairly well.

Good luck on #8; no shame in playing the other fairway, haha!

I played in late March and the course had already greened up beautifully. Just a couple of isolated bare spots on maybe 2 green perimeters, but it's early spring, they'll fill in quick.

Did I mention it's a great value? I'll be back soon!

Good time!!

Had a great time! Trying to find a course that has challenges as well as mediocre obstacles! Greens in great shape, but early for good full growth to mature. Greens putted like linoleum floor with no texture or character. Later on in spring they will putt better. Still enjoyed myself immensely and will continue play with no second-thoughts.

Worth Playing

Your first impression may be to think that this is an old course that has seen its better days. I love playing this course. There are 3 or 4 holes on the back 9 nine that always get the best of me. Especially a short par 4 that has gotten the best of me every time I play it. For the price it is well worth playing. It has been windy each time I have played it. It is a course that has become one of my favorites.

Ok for the price

The course layout is ok, the amenities are minimal and the fairways are good with the winter conditions that we are accustomed to in the area. However, some of the greens had damage and there were tons of leaves scattered throughout the course which made looking for your ball troublesome st times. The price was great and the staff was very friendly, but I would like to see some improvements in the next few months.

Pleasant surprise

I wasn't expecting much for end of December golf. The price was great so that added to lowered expectations. We arrived and had one extra person that joined late. Staff was accommodating and we even started a little early. The course is really open with the exception of one hole. I'm sure it's completely different in the spring when the trees are full. Only complaint was the leaves left all over the course. Group spent a lot of extra time looking for balls in the fairway covered by leaves.

It took almost 5 hours to play a round. Tee times were way too close together. Good course but wait was rediculous!

Good value, but needs improvement

This is a great value for the play. Course isn't in great shape, but still very playable. The greens are very slow and burnt. Ants are starting to attack the course right now. The rough areas are not maintained very much. Looks like they just get mowed and that's it. It's a pretty difficult course from the tips (which are blue tees). Good play for the money, but wish the course was in better shape. Could be way worse though.

What were they thinking?

Before booking this reservation, I read the reviews online most of which had high praise for the course. Once my daughter and I got there, we found the course to be not in very good condition. The fairways were bumpy and hard, the greens were bumpy and hard and there was no water in o couple of the water jugs. This would normally not be a problem but it was close to 95° the afternoon we played. Additionally there was no cart girl that came by with drinks. Ever. Not even one time.

I will not be returning. For the price there are much better courses in the area.

Pace of play horrible

Really good course for your money but pace of play was horrible. So many 2somes back to back to back. They should have been paired up, I don't recall EVER seeing a Marshall. But I was told by several golfers that are regulars even when there is a Marshall they don't saying anything to anyone. On one hole there was a group on the green, 1 in the fairway, 1 on the tee box and 2 more waiting at the tee box. Then group in front of me jumped in front of the group in front of them and I found out why. I talked to them on the tee box and 1 said he never played before. The next hole they took forever in the fairway and then when they got done with the hole they stood on the green talking for several minutes, I picked up my ball and went home.
