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.

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.

Best Greens I’ve played on in a while

Oak Hollow is a very fun course to play. It is a really nice lay out, and probably the nicest public courses I’ve playin in North Texas.

I am very new to golf, and played best ball with a buddy of mine.

We absolutely had a blast and will be back.

Golf Circus

Hello

When I arrived to play I went to the range with a small bucket to loosen up first. I was interrupted by the marshal asking if I could tee off immediately it would be doing him a favor. I complied and was joined by one other. There was no one a head of us. We got half way down the 7th when someone in the group behind us grilled us for slow play. I explained that we had been out for just over and hour and therefore our pace was good. This developed into an argument and therefore I decided to leave after the turn. I asked for my green fees refunded. That never happened. This place is run by a load of fools.

Nice place to play

Solid course design ... not too hard and not too easy. The greens are quite good but a little firm. Overall a very fun place to play golf.
