Harkers Hollow Golf Club ☆ Follow

Opened in 1929, the golf course has a classic layout designed by Robert White, the first president of the PGA of America. Harkers Hollow Golf Club in Phillipsburg, NJ is a gem undergoing revitalization to restore its grandeur. The 18-hole course features 6,551 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 70. 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. 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 greens are small and fast with breaks ranging from subtle to dramatic. The Lopatcong Creek runs the entire length of the golf course and requires the occasional carry. The par-3 fifth hole is the club's signature and is particularly notable for its scenery, which is why it has served as the backdrop for many weddings.

Purchased in the fall of 2017 by three local golf industry professionals and one former member, the course is in great shape and continuing to improve each day.
