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.

One hour frost delay but turned out to be like 45 minutes. Pace was excellent and luckily a few foursomes only played the front 9.
Fairways were cut short and in good condition. Anywhere else, you have a tough time finding your ball since the grass was so high but being so late in the year, I wasn't expecting it to be perfect. Definitely a nice open course to get the most out of your driver.
Greens were in excellent condition. A little slow from all the water, but I was very pleased with overall condition.
Will be back when the temps go back up.
Much improved
The owners have worked incredibly hard to improve this course and they are doing an awesome job. Greens are well kept and fairways are clean.
Better than the last time is their pledge
Got a quick 18 in before some forecasted rainstorms so pace of play was excellent. They are truly working on improving most holes. I was surprised at how great some of the greens and fairways looked. A few still need work, 17 fairway has a couple spots that are packed dirt. All in all the owners are taking care of the property and going into their 3rd spring it'll be interesting to see what 2021 looks like.
Challenging Hole Layouts
Good challenge trying to keep the ball down the middle of tree lined narrow fairways. Lots of changes in elevation and tilted stances. Fast greens not always true or easy to read. Course can get a bit crowded. Overall an enjoyable experience
This is my second time playing this course this year. First time was in the summer and the second was in fall. The greens are fast and in great shape. The leaves were all blown off. It’s a well maintained golf course and hopefully it stays that way. Definitely will play here again if the price doesn’t go up.
Good course, slow pace
Always a good deal here so I’ll play here pretty often due to the price and distance. Nice course but always, always over booked. Always waiting 5 minutes after every shot, 4 pack in front of you on the fairway while you’re waiting to tee off and 4 pack on the green putting.
Tee times should be spaced more to allow for better flow while you play or have people start on the back 9 if it’s clear.
Great course
Very good condition,, not crowded,, enjoyed the round
Great course
In great shape,, we rode a cart,, I wouldn't want to walk,, but very enjoyable.
straight up and down holes
Most tee boxes closed under repair not worth one hour fourty minute drive

Better Than Rated w/ Great Greens
Solid course with interesting layout in a beautiful setting. I've been to better rated courses that would be lucky to have greens in as good shape as Harker's Hollow's. You can also see they are putting work in around the course. I look forward to coming back.
Great value
We played for less than 40$ total for 2 with cart for 18 holes!! That alone is awesome!! But no ball washers and the club cart didn’t come by one time in 18 holes!! Easy cheap and not a bad course at all. I definitely recommend if you can get the deal I had.
