Harkers Hollow Golf Club

Course was in good shape. Course is pretty hilly. Most holes are pretty straight. I would go back.

What a surprise when friends invited us to join them for dinner at Harker’s Hollow’s St. Andrews Pub and Tea Room. We knew the restaurants were open and that the public was welcome. What we did not know was the ability of chef Cyle. The ambiance is that of a 1929 golf course in the warmth, friendliness and casualness of the 21st century. The view is gorgeous the course is lush and green. The owners introduced themselves to everyone and the chef visited tables and occasionally served the meals. He asked how we liked our dinners and what suggestions we had. There was also entertainment and wine tasting. We had a bottle of the Los Haroldos Hacienda Oak Cabernet which was unexpectedly good. The best part of the evening flat out was the food. There were 15 in our group so I sampled several appetizers particularly liking the garlic shrimp brochette and the French toasted mozzarella. That was a huge hit with the teenagers. My favorite was the warm spinach and artichoke dip with tomato. Entrees ranged from pub fair to beautifully plated, incredible main courses. It was Friday so I returned to my childhood and had wonderful beer battered fish and chips. Others in our group had variety of entrees. I sampled the crab cakes and chicken murphy both wonderful. There were no negative comments only praise for the chef. It is hard to find your regular dinner spot but in Harmony /Philipsburg this is it.

Greens much improved from last time played. Fairways being worked on.

The course starts off fairly easy, and sneaks into some terrain, tight fairways and greens that demanded attention to detail. Definitely will play again.

The only reason I would rate this course a 4/5 (vs. a 5/5) was the condition of the fairways which was "spotty" but overall very playable. Greens were in good to great shape when I played with some exceptions. Overall I loved the course and the challenges it presented. Course requires some "local knowledge" to navigate the "breaks" on the greens, etc. Really loved it. Will definitely play there again.

GOOD VALUE and A LOCAL COURSE NICE SHAPE AND GOOD GREENS

good value conditions are improving greens are good fairways are getting better

Tried a new one and enjoyed, but needs a little work. Bare spots on greens, grass tall, leaves everywhere. Typical fall conditions, with a little less maintained.

I have played here back in June and the condition of the course was pretty bad but what a difference no,the greens were great. The fairways and tees were ok but still need attention. They are really doing a good job of getting this really nice layout back in shape..

The 1st nine are pretty straight-forward and the back are much more interesting. I really enjoyed the fact that it's hard to see the flag's from the t-box.

The fairways were brown and weedy and the greens had bare sand spots. Although the course was still worth playing. I think the new owners are trying. Hopefully next season will be better. They were working on spots on Sunday.

We arrived at the course and the starter explained that last year the course was closed because the greens were destroyed due to a fungus, so we were not expecting much. The course has a lot of elevation changes, which makes it challenging, but the layout is very well done. The greens were in great condition. Be aware that some are very tough. Some spots on the fairways were not in very good condition but overall, they were in pretty good shape. There are a couple long par 3s, tee shots over or around water, and elevated greens. I would play this course again but would like to play earlier in the season.

Harker's Hollow is a great golf layout featuring the rolling, hilly terrain of northwest NJ coupled with a course design from years ago when you could walk from green to the next tee.

The course is still recovering from its demise as a private country club and the efforts made over the past 2 years by the new owners (also owning Apple Mountain GC) when the course was opened to the public.

The greens are in great shape and well maintained. The fairways are still in recovery mode, after having suffered from several years of neglect prior to change of ownership. There are traps on most holes, but only some have been well maintained (adequate, playable sand).

Plenty of elevation changes, and shot placement, while forgiving in some cases on the longer holes, still demands staying out of the trees for good lines to the greens. This is a course that I am convinced will become very good again if the level of play keeps bringing in the cash. The green fees are good and competitive.

Course is much improved since I played last fall. Fairways still patchy, but most greens are in decent shape. Played in 3 hours - course was empty.

Harker's Hollow has been much improved since becoming the sister course to Apple Mountain. I expect it to continue to improve.

the frist and the seventeen greens were shut down,and all the other greens were dresed.i feel the started should have let us know before starting.i'am very surprise that golf now would have this course on there bookings.not happy with the results of this booking.

This course has a nice layout and great views. However, the course is in poor condition. The fairways are in bad shape, the greens were better now than earlier this year. Hope the management is willing to get this course back to it's former condition. Some new/newer golf carts would also be appreciated.

very good coarse for learning like myself lot of obstical to prepare for before your shot river,trees, bunkers. Fairways were cut nice the greens were fair also a couple could use alittle of attention.the coarse was pretty easy to follow and of coarse the price was good also by going thru Golf Now which I think is very good

Got a great deal on fees. Arrived to be told that aeration was going on and 4 greens were inaccessible. Pro shop manager actually said he didn't know about it?? I guess it was a surprise!

Overall, a pretty easy course. Played from the tips, which I rarely do, and had no problems. Fairways were in very rough shape (had been aerated also), greens were fast but had some bare spots. Not a lot of green grass...but a lot of brown grass.

May give them a shot earlier in the season next year, to see if conditions have improved.

One positive, pace of play. Got through 18 in a little under 3 hours.

$35 for 18 holes plus cart is an incredible deal; it used to be a private club and I can see that it was a great course back in the day.

First nine is simple with just going up and down the hill with par 4 and 5 courses; only hazard would be the water in the middle. So if you hit it straight then it's pretty easy; but watch out for the surprise down slope on the green on par 5.

Second nine is more interesting with turns and hills; it is challenging because of the curves and seemingly simple bunkers. If you are not on the fairway then it's also difficult with long grass.

I would definitely play again maybe 36 holes/2 rounds and lunch in-between. The staff is friendly, the course is pretty wide open and slower pace is definitely a plus.
