HARKERS HOLLOW has opened its golfing doors to the public. While in a state of bankruptcy the course lay dormant for some time and suffered some damage to the grass. THE HC NEWS went to review the course three weeks ago and then went back on Friday, the immediate changes were incredible. The groundskeeper is working long hours and it shows. The course is rising back to the level that made it one of the finer private clubs in this area and you can play it now for rates that are so reasonable that if you are a golfer and are playing anywhere else in the area you are missing a treat.

During this week we will have feature articles on the ongoing progress the club is making. You can book tee times on line by going to http://harkershollow.com/index.html  and you can check out the daily fee rates  here -  http://harkershollow.com/rates.html  

Enjoy the experience, you will thank us when you’re finished with the round.

The Grill Room, bar and dining area have also been refurbished and are a nice place to finish off your afternoon.

This is the biggest fairway on the course, Grip and Rip

You second shot will have the ball below your feet, prompting it to drift right, which is dead in the trap. If you can hit this hillside on the right it will dump the ball onto the putting surface.. But if you fly this hill good luck holding the green.

The left edge of  the tree on the right is your optimum goal. This fairway sloes drastically right to left. It's a tough shot to keep in the middle.

Out of the shoot you try and hug the left side but watch out for that jutting tree. Pull it and you're OB. Slice it and you can drift down to the next fairway.

This view should give you an indication how far up you go from the clubhouse. Pay close attention to the slope on this green, its' anti intuitive. 

The Final three are great match play holes if you are settling a wager. This par three plays about 195 and has an intimidating visual aspect. Short is better than all of the other alternatives.

Looking back toward the tee

Tee shot needs to be out on the left, the trees on the right can severely hamper your second shot, but.....   there is OB left.

back up the hill, you can see that tree on the corner of the dog on the left that you have to keep your tee ball away from.

The green is sloped back to front so be daring and give it a good rap up the hill. It will break left to right.

Touch Tee Shot. OB LEFT - the highway, on the right is a pond and drifting to the right is that creek one more time. To be safe hit it left of the bridge on the right.

  You will most likely have about 200 yards to the green. There is a bunker on the right that you want to avoid, its deep, long has tough rough. it's an excellent finishing hole. The Grill Room is directly on your right when you finish.
