Harkers Hollow Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

Awesome course!
Highly recommend, i am a beginner with a high handicap and i found the course challenging but manageable and was able to keep up with the pace of play.
Great variety and really well maintained. Also the pro shop staff is really welcoming and helpful.

The pace of play is horrible. No starter or ranger. Groups of five and six. Really?

Hackers fallows
Love this course. Up, down and across the mountain. Tee boxes ok. Fairway rough good. Greens fast. Some places lacking. Dirt and rocks in side rough area. Overall great course
Course could have been in better shape
The staff inside the pro shop was extremely nice. The pace of play was pretty bad. I would say they definetely overbooked. The course layout is a lot of fun. Lots of elevation changes. The par 3s are really fun and challenging. Only 2 Par 5s on the course. The cart paths were horrible. What makes the course fun is it is basically on the side of a mountain, but because of that there was a lot of water damage/run off. I would say it is definitely worth playing one time. Im not sure I would go back.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate your kind words about our staff and the enjoyable course layout. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced with the pace of play, overbooking, and the condition of the cart paths. We will take your comments into consideration as we continue to improve our services.
Not worth
We played the day after a rainstorm to which they let us know the day of that carts would not be available. We should have cancelled and requested a refund right then and there as the course was not very walking friendly. Most groups we could see ahead and behind us were struggling to keep up, and even saw a 4some give up half way.
Overall there were some rough patches (rocky roads, mountainous terrain, mud) that made it for a less than stellar experience. We drove out over an hour to play and I regret it deeply

Very Hard But Nice Course
Pace of play was great, green all slope towards the valley even when you might not think it does. On the back 9, if you hit a bad tee shot on some holes your going to be screwed because your ball is most likely running down the hill. Conditions were pretty good, layout is fun but challenging and the greens are small.
Incredible value
Such a hidden gem of a course. Really solid challenge from the tips. Narrow, sloped fairways. Small, well-protected greens. So glad the new ownership revitalized this course. It's as good as it's ever been. Greens roll smooth and fairways are in great shape.
Hello. We appreciate the review. You rated us 3-stars which means there is room to improve on your recent experience at Harkers Hollow Golf Club. Let us know, in the comments, how and where you would like to see changes from the course. Thanks for the feedback!
Fun and challenging
Very fun course withe great views. Holes 13,14,15 all play on a down hill slope which is challenging as it will roll forever. All in all you will have fun and enjoy the beautiful course.
Overall a great course for the money!
Great conditions, beautiful surroundings. Course is a bit wide open so keep your head on a swivel for those that like to play fairways other than their own. Tee boxes could use some attention, bent a few plastic tees trying to get them in the ground.
