Harkers Hollow Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Nestled in the hills of Scotts Mountain, Harkers Hollow Golf Club was carved from a sloping hillside, giving it a challenging terrain with plenty of elevation changes. Opened in 1929, the golf course has a classic layout designed by Robert White, the first president of the PGA of America. Although it is a seemingly mild 6,551 yards from the back tees, the course plays much longer and harder thanks to the undulating terrain. The layout does offer a few lengthy holes as well as some interesting par 3s. The greens are small and fast with breaks ranging from subtle to dramatic. There is hardly any water but the Lopatcong Creek does run the entire length of the golf course and requires the occasional carry. The par-3 fifth hole is the club's signature. It is particularly notable for its scenery, which is why it has served as the backdrop for many weddings.

Unfriendly Staff
The course was in good shape however the staff was rude and made the experience awful. It was Memorial Day weekend so the course was full. The pace was a little slow which going into the day we knew would happen because it was a holiday weekend. We were constantly being harassed by the course staff to play faster when we were waiting for the foursome in front of us at every tee box. They eventually asked us to skip the tee box and drop in the fairway which we declined to do so because we were not the problem. Being harassed every hole made the day horrible and not even enjoyable. I do not recommend anyone to golf here unless your on the tour and can play 18 holes in 3 hours.
Fun and easy layout, a lot of par 4's
We enjoyed our day on this course, will be back soon for sure. I particularly enjoyed the hilly terrain and layout of this course. It was challenging, and has some really nice views and birds of many types..
Very nice find
We went on a whim and found a really nice course that was easy to follow, and every hole was a challenge to play. Loved the various levels of terrain, it made for some really nice scenic views. We will defiantly be back to olay soon!
I'll be back !!!!
We played Harkers last year around the same time. Conditions are improving slowly but surely.
Greens and fairways are much better.
Traps now have real sand and are ok.
Tees and cart paths need some work, but we'll worth playing.
The Staff was excellent, although the Rangers are way too prominent.
Almost forcing you to play faster, they are all around.
Price was great and we will be back !!!
Wonderful

Obviously not the best course, but it’s worth it’s price. Some of the holes can be a little tricky and the tee boxes aren’t in the best condition, but for the money and to play golf it’s worth it.
Fun course to play!
The layout of the course is challenging but fair. The greens roll true.
It was a fun day!
