Rating 71.7

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.

Course property being auctioned off

I wasn't aware that the property was being auctioned off until I arrived for the tee time. Having said that, I would have thought it would be in better shape in order to attract higher bids. Bad news.... I was wrong. Good news....The property was purchased and will continue as a golf course. I'm sure with some TLC it will be returned to more acceptable playing conditions. All amenities were closed for months leading up to the auction.

Harkers is great

The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars for pace was the guy we played with. Yawn!

Unreal Value

Sunny day mid March didn’t expect a lot and was pleasantly surprised, obviously not in prime condition but very playable and great value.

Not bad for winter conditions

We played in frigid temperatures and enjoyed our outing. There are some long-standing bare spots and rocky places but they are rebuilding two of the tee boxes and the greens are in good shape.

We were paired with two members , could not have met nicer guys. It was only 45 degrees, the course was firm and greens were fast. November golf a great way to end a holiday weekend.
