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.

Improved
The course is much improved. I avoided this course for a few years due to conditions, but new owners have greatly improved the conditions. Fairways still a bit thin, especially on steeply side-sloped holes, where balls run off even on well aimed shots. Crabgrass was rampant last time I played here - now gone.
Pretty good for price
The greens are excellent, possibly the best in the area. I got this on a hot deal so for $16 this was a fantastic deal. The front 9 is way more enjoyable than the back, however the first 3 holes are straight and boring. I found that all of the fairways on the back 9 were really sloped and just not enjoyable to hit off of. The pace of play was horrendous. I really don’t think this is the staff’s fault though, I just think that the groups in front of me were slow. Lastly, the guy in the club house was a bit rude. Acted as if he had no idea and laughed at me when I asked what their replay rate was
First and Last
Mud tee boxes, mud fairways, and overall horrible condition. Probably the worst golf course I have ever played in the area for what they charge. $54 on a Saturday and the course was in horrible shape. The tee boxes had absolutely no grass and was straight dirt and mud. The fairways had thin grass and again mud and hard dirt. The only soft part of the course were the bunkers.
Good value
Tee boxes and fairways in rough shape but playable. Greens in great condition and the sand traps appeared to be recently filled with fresh sand. Worth playing with a hot deal but wouldn’t pay more than that.
Harkers
Staff was great and timing of getting folks off and keeping it moving was great. Course conditions were average. Tee boxes need more work (in time it will get better) but the bare spots around the course are a concern.
Better every time
Owners have done a wonderful job since buying this course. 5 years ago it was a cow pasture. It is now in beautiful shape, and getting better all the time. Great course. Also, their F&B amenities are top notch. Love it!
High rough
Course improving. Rough pretty high for a public course.
