Great Gorge Golf Club - Lake/Quarry Course
About
Great Gorge Golf Club is situated on 500 acres of naturally preserved land, nestled in the Vernon Valley between the Wawayanda and Pochuck Mountain Peaks. Designed by George Fazio in 1970 on behalf of Hugh Hefner for his Great Gorge Playboy Club, the course boasts 3 championship nines: Rail, Lake and Quarry. With four tee box options, the course is manageable for newer golfers yet challenging for lower handicap players, making Great Gorge an ideal venue for all golfers.

was not the worth of hard earned money
I am a senior golfer i got there i had to walk a far distance from car parking lot to the pro shop at least you could drop off the clubs and not carry them.i was not told by you Golf Now or the pro shop that they just did informed me that all the greens have been worked on you could not putt your ball it was terrible. i drove over an hour to get there come on you can do better than thisthe day sucked.
Punched Greens, No Warning!
Course needs some lovin! Greens were just punched and no warning on GolfNow when booked ☹️ Cart path only due to course being super soaked, should not have been open.
Great Golf
Pulled into a large parking lot and it was nice to have a gentleman driving around picking players up in the lot and bring up to clubhouse.
The woman started has the worst attitude and is harsh! The carts are locked until it is your time to play. She gives us the okay to go to first tee and then she comes flying down the hill screaming at us to stop. Once again screaming to stop and not go to the tee. She is yelling everything is backed up the first couple of tees. She then tell me we have to wait another 20 minutes before teeing off. Turned into 30 minutes. It was okay we had time to practice our putting. Finally get to the tee and the group in front of us took over 15 shots to get to the tee. The first 6 holes we were backed up. The pace was slow-no rangers were present the entire round. Back nine was great. It seems many players dropped off after nine. Greens were recently air rated.
Cart girl was nice in the course BUT her puts were very short. She tried to tell me that a 3 count is all she pours…um no it’s a 5 count.
Had a fun day and will definitely be back.
First time
This was the first time playing the course, the design layout was very good only drawback was the aerated greens, which impacted the scores I would play it again after the greens heal, I would recommend playing the course.
Les
The course should post when the greens have been aerated. They were aerated this week and there was no mention of this on your website so putting was a joke.
Glad to see management investing in the course. Fresh sand in the bunkers, which we haven't seen in a while. Greens were excellent, course played long due to recent rainfall, no roll to speak of. The course is a great test of golf.
Woman Starter Had A Really Bad Attitude!
The starter was an old jaded woman with really, really bad attitude! I was excited to play the course but her attitude and bad mannerism was a really turn-off. Even the starter before her as they were changing shifts, another old guy with a don't care attitude was there. He also pretty much ignored us but was not a combative the old woman who took over. Never again! In the area there are six better golf courses where people are treated with dignity.

They canceled it on their own accord.
Fortunately, we discovered the cancellation, although we might have missed it. The thought of driving there only to hear it was canceled at the front desk is dreadful.
We waited for 10 minutes on the phone, and what they are saying is only that Golf Now overbooked over their tee times.
We had taken time off specifically for this round of golf and had adjusted our schedules, but they canceled it a day before and rudely insisted they were not at fault. We found this unacceptable. We made the reservation a week ago.
They have almost doubled their prices compared to last year. The service seems worse. I was a frequent customer, but with this bad experience, I do not think I will be able to visit here again.
Fun Course
Fun course to play and always get a kick out of seeing the abandoned Playboy Club property from the '70s. Our pace of play was great, but saw that those teeing off around 1-2pm had an insane backup...wouldn't have wanted to be them. Starter is harried & curt but I suspect she has a heart of gold somewhere in there. Nice deck to enjoy drinks afterwards, although the redneck C&W music selection left a lot to be desired. Regardless, love coming here and the price to value is terrific!
great course
crowded, had to wait for carts (was a weekend though). lots of slow players too (also not course's fault). but we really like the course. good valuew for $ too.
Beautiful Course but pace of play is horrendous
Both times I’ve played here this year the round has been close to 6 hours. They overbook tee times and you never start on time. The starters are very unorganized. If this course was ran better it would be an excellent value because it is a beautiful course.
Very unique layout, plays longer than listed, scenic
Played on a weekend, very busy, started later than tee time booked and had a 5 hr+ round. Reviews are accurate, the course is very scenic and the layout is nice. Plays longer than listed yardage as many holes run up hills and many greens are sloped back to front.
Very cool starting tee shots off cliffs on at least 2/3 of the 9 hole courses. I would come back but definitely not on a weekend as it could easily be an all day ordeal.
Aside from the course but on the property, its crazy to see the 800+ room resort deteriorating and look like a relic of the past. It used to be owned by Playboy and has a really interesting history worth looking into. Worth playing at least once just to see a place that probably held some crazy parties back in the day.
