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.

Feels like a private club
The owners have done a remarkable job in restoring not just the golf course, but also the atmosphere of the entire club. The driving range is beautiful (though on an incline). The historic locker room dates back nearly a century. The restaurant/upstairs outdoor patio area has been filled with people, can't wait to get a meal and some beverages next time. Play the lovely par-3 9th hole along the creek, then take a seat in the shade by the snack shack which is my favorite spot on the course. I will be back for many rounds.
Super fun time!
This was my first time playing this course and I was scared to see if it would be any good. But I was pleasantly surprised. Well maintained fairways, clean tee box’s and greens, friendly staff, and beautiful course layout. Overall I loved my time at the course!
Great track
Played with 3 locals, was told the course is getting to be better shape. Sand trap is bare and dirt and paved cart path is very bumpy. Overall good track layout with slopped greens. For what I’ve paid, it’s still a great course to come back to.
Played on Fathers Day despite the rain
First, I was impressed with the matter-of-factness in the staff and veteran players like any other day despite heavy rains leading up to the day and rainy and wet day of. No delays, no "cart path" only. Course is well laid out and obviously drains well. It rained the whole front nine and half the back nine and there were only a few wet spots (puddles) on entire course. Tees and greens excellent condition as were the fairways. Definitely coming back!
Harkers Hollow
The actual price was $7 higher than what was advertised on Golfnow. The fairways are ok, the greens were in pretty good shape,, but it's about time to put some money in to the cart paths, which are horrible. Got done with.my early round at 11, only to find out the bar and grill wouldn't open for another half hour so we went elsewhere.
1st time
Good course. Slow pace, though. Only negative was that some of the sand traps actually had some big rocks under the sand and I chipped a piece of my sand wedge off on one.
Can't beat the price. And a good overall play.
Very good deal. . . Pace of play this time was excellent. Will be playing again for sure.
