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.

Great course

With all the rain we've had up here in North Jersey, I think the course was in GREAT shape. I would recommend Great Gorge to any golfer regardless of ability. The views and conditions are always spectacular. One of my favorite courses in North Jersey.

the pace of play was just really really slow. I think ebcuase carts were cart path only...which is annoying and silly. the conditions were fine and walking all over the place defeats the purpose of paying for a cart.
