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.

Lake/Rail in January

I was pleasantly surprised at the condition of the Lake & Rail 9's. Of course it was moist, but overall in Very good shape. The Greens rolled true & were pretty quick. Even though it was Cart Path Only, some players were OFF the path on numerous occasions. A shame that in January golfers knowing we just stole a day out, couldn't honor the requests of the Facility. for CPO. It was a great day to be outside instead of being hunkered down indoors..

A great day to be playing & the cost was fair & reasonable for January 2023

Good conditions for Fall play

I never seem to do well on this course, it’s more challenging then it seems. Course was in good condition and the leaves were well managed which is to say if you stayed on the fairway you could find your ball ( not so much if you hit an errand shot). Slow 4- some in front of us impacted pace of play but it was a nice day.
