McKay Creek Golf Course

The whole experience was kind of weird. First of all, they told us that morning over the phone that they were running a special, and then when we got there there they said they weren’t because it was a holiday. Bait and switch. Whatever, it was a long drive so we just ate it and paid full price. We were golfing at an above average pace, but at the 4^th or 5^th hole, the marshal drove up to us and said there was a Men’s club right behind us and would we please keep up a fast pace. We were already golfing pretty fast and catching up to the people in front of us, so it was weird that they asked in the first place and also pretty classless. Golf is something we do to relax. If you don’t have time for someone to golf their 9 holes at an above-​average pace, don’t take their money. It’s not my fault they overbooked, and I paid the same as everyone else.
So then, the marshal just parks his cart pointed toward our current hole and just stares at us the whole time. When me moved on to the next hole, he moved with us and just sat there staring at us. It made everyone uncomfortable, like we were taking a test, and it didn’t help with our concentration. It was like he was determined to make us so uncomfortable that we would leave. Anyways, the hurry was pointless because we just caught up to the people in front right away and had to wait.
Then our cart starts running out of juice because they sent it through too many times without charging. I tell the marshal (who is still sitting there watching us like a vulture) that we can’t go any faster with the cart because we’re flooring it and it barely moving, even though it says it’s half full. He looks at it and says «it says it’s half full», as if he either didn’t hear me or didn’t believe me. After we insist, he calls some guys with a new cart and they arrive just as we’re getting to the next hole in our dreadfully slow cart (which I noticed didn’t even make it back to the clubhouse afterward). A guy in an orange polo gets out and says «did you guys tee off yet?» and we say «no» (because we JUST got there) and this guy has the nerve to reply to us «WHY NOT?». Couldn’t believe it. And after all the hurrying and hounding, we just ended up waiting for the people in front of us, because this course was designed by a rookie and puts the hardest hole at the end, so it’s always backed up. Terrible management, terrible service, awful staff with bad manners. I have never felt so unwelcome in my life. Definitely will not be back.

Great course here in Hillsboro for all types of golfers. The employees are always nice and friendly and you hardly ever have to worry about people getting impatient about the pace of play. I love supporting this local 9 hole course.

This is a great 9-​hole course, with some challenging holes and a nice driving range as well. The pace of play can be a bit slow but as long as you are comfortable with that you will love this place. The staff at McKay are fantastic, some of the nicest people working in the industry and a pleasure to interact with every time.

A nice course and inexpensive to play. However, I’m not sure why they have a marshal at all. It took 3 hours to play 9. When we finally got fed up of waiting 15 min to tee off every hole and hit a drive a bit too early he came to yell at us about giving them space. Drink service was excellent though. Sarah was very friendly while we waited patiently at each hole. GET RID OF YOUR MARSHAL Josh, you’re wasting money paying him.

The more I tee off the more I realize how true the statement — There is no such thing as an EASY course! McKay Creek has forced me to live that line once again.
A challenging 9-​hole course complete with the challenge of splitting trees off of the first tee to an uphill par 3 on the 6^th and crossing a creek on the 9^th. McKay Creek had me ready to make my best Masters 2013 Brandt Snedeker «Incredible Hulk» impersonation. An open, seemingly easy course you’d think you would par or birdie every hole, but is that ever the case?!
Enough my sniveling and woes, McKay Creek is a fun challenging course and offers something for every level of golfer, from depth challenging par 3s to a couple long par 5s you’ll get your game’s worth out here. There is a driving range and a putting green with actual cups as opposed to flags as well. Wildlife is all around the occasional deer should not throw off your swing, Sergio Garcia. Prices are relative and it is a beautiful course to play!
Go play!

Great beer cart, excellent greens, fine place to golf with very friendly folks in the pro shop.

McKay Creek is a fun little inexpensive 9 hole course. Most the fairways are straight but water does come into play on several holes. The only downside is a lot of the holes are side by side so if you hook or slice at all, you may be playing from a different fairway.
I have been to this course 3 or 4 times and will definitely be back.

Great spot to learn golf. Craig Wilson is probably the nicest, fun golf instructor I’ve had. He makes golf understandable and enjoyable.
The driving range is decent, but the 9 hole course is a gem. Very clean and well kept.
