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.

Potential but pace of play ruins it
For the money it is a good deal for the money. If you don't mind 5 1/2 hour rounds it's even better. Course has so much potential but drainage is horrendous. Standing water all over course.
Play three times a week
The course is very nice however the car path are horrendous. Not sure if they are waiting to put money in this course because of the Hotel coming in or they just gave up on the car path.
If you’re not gonna maintain a car path, rip them up and let us drive on gravel. I give this the worst car path of all golf courses I’ve ever played.
Course is well maintained. Pin placements were diabolical. Friendly staff, especially the starter, Mona.
Drive for value
My son, and my friends all played together this Monday. Let me start by saying this is the best staff of any course I play in NJ. They always accommodate the guests and do it with an attitude of gratitude and that’s so appreciated. If you have not played Great Gorge because it’s to far please make the effort the drive is worth it. GG is one of the nicest public courses you will ever play and the vistas are to die for. If I could give this place a 1000 stars I would. MUST PLAY COURSE for your 2025 season.
Work in orogress
Course was fine. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were in nice shape.
Cart paths were deadly. There are a lot of elevation changes on the course and the hills combined with the lack of maintenance of the cart paths is a problem waiting to happen.
There was a wedding scheduled for the day we played so the restaurant and bar was closed to our party. I don’t agree with scheduling a wedding on a weekend during prime golf season when you know you will be closing the facility to people who paid for access to your venue. But worse than closing the restaurant and bar was banning all golfers from using the bathrooms. You should not ban paying guests from using bathrooms for the 5 hours they will be using your property.
Worth the drive
Course is professional grade in every way. Management, starters and restaurant Great Gorge is a must play. I also had my sons friends playing and they are new golfers so for a great rate they played a Premier golf course. Thank you GG amazing effort every time!!!
Disappointed first time experience
Greens are fast & difficult. Good challenge. A couple of blind shots. Beautiful scenic holes over water, through valleys. Golf cart died on hold 12 took over 30 minutes for the course to provide a new cart. Had to walk a bowl and a half and let multiple groups play through. Round took over five hours no apology for someone saying sorry at any point. After the round was completed spoke to the pro shop. No managers were available on a Sunday which I find hard to believe. Car paths was like going on and off road trail.
Slow slow
It took us 5+ hours to finish it. There is no ranger going around—just slow players, back to back, like train cars.
People don't yell fore even they are hitting off course and young kids with 0 golf attire and no etiquette.
However, Staffs are all super nice!
Very friendly people, layout was very nice and clean course, little muddy on some holes because of the couple days of rain in a row however, overall the greens and the tea box were in great shape
Great place to play.
Course is in great condition even with the recent rain. Greens were trickier than normal. Highly recommend.
