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.

Golfer Reviews
Tough course
I got a primetime Sunday hot deal, so I thought I try out this course. The course has many pretty holes. However, it it quite tough (check the slope/rating). This is due to many ~400 yard par 4 holes (from the white tees) and smallish greens. Many of the holes have side or up/down hill lies. We took a cart, but the cart paths were almost unusable with the holes and bumps in them. They need to be replaced. The tees, greens, and fairways were mostly in good shape. It was a 4 1/2 hour round.
I Can't Believe This Is the Same Harkers Hollow
First time playing the course in years. Wow! What happened to those pathetic fairways, greens, and sand traps from a few short years ago when the course was being neglected prior to the auction sale of HH? What these owners have done is a bit short of miraculous. Where have all the weeds and crabgrass gone? Gone are all the bare spots which filled the fairways. The rough is thick and difficult unless you hit it into the trees. If you do, that cart ride will be extremely bumpy. There is quality sand in the traps. Although playing shortly after aeration, you could tell that these greens were in great shape. They are working hard on the tee boxes.
No longer is Harkers a course to avoid. If you can, give it a try again. If you remember the course five years ago...you will be more than impressed.
Played front 9 twice
They were aerating the back. Tee Off deal for 35 and a coupon code for 5. Greens were excellent. Fairways and bunkers fair
Fun course to play with ongoing improvements
1st time playing here. Good layout with elevation changes. Greens were very nice. Not fast but uniform and well manicured. Tee boxes and fairways were good. Very playable.
They are working on the course and the improvements are obvious. Good bar restaurant area for a bite to eat.
Staff was friendly in pro shop and the restaurant.
Great day of golf for a reasonable price!!

practice
Good course for practice and confidence. Fairways and greens in very good shape. Tee boxes and paths need a lot of work.
Boring
The back nine was interesting, but the front was pretty boring. So much work needs to be done especially leveling out the tee boxes and giving some grass a chance to grow there

Course in good shape
Have played this couse numeruos times over the last 5 years. It has come from a course just open after being closed, 5 years ago. At that time I would not have recomended to anyone. Over the years it has gotten better every year. It is now a course that I would tell people to play. Course conditions are as good as any course in the area. If this trend continues, in a couple of years, it should be one of the premier venues in the area.
