Harkers Hollow Golf Club
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.

Worth the Money
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.
Great course!
I’m a new member and love playing there. The new owners are doing great things and it’s only gonna get better. Righ now it’s almost a hidden gem! Although they’re busy of course. Some cart paths are and tee boxes are left to be desired but the parts of the course that matter the most are awesome!! Greens are always top notch. And fairways as well. Once they complete all the work they are doing that place will be a top tier course in my backyard!! I Love the place. My son and I play ther alot. Thanks for having us.

Slow round
5 hour round due to great weather and playing on a holiday(Veterans Day). Fairways and rough in good shape. Greens surprisingly hard and fast. Several quality approach shots didn’t hold and bounced off greens. Pin placements were on slopes on most greens, so If you missed a downhill putt it ran forever. Bunkers in good shape considering how late in the season. Staff did a great job on leaf removal. Cart paths continue to deteriorate and need serious repair. Overall an enjoyable day on a challenging course, but would be better if pins were in fairer locations.
They've done an excellent job of bringing what was once a private course that had gone into disrepair back to life. Fairways, rough and greens were in excellent shape. Tee boxes were somewhat patchy and cart paths need work but pleased with the condition of the guts of the course. Very reasonable green fees. Will definitely be back.
