Nice course

Nice layout, the tee boxes could use a little attention there were a lot of bare spots and uneven footing. I thought the fairways could be mowed a little shorter. Not a lot of run out. However the greens were amazing.

Outstanding Day at Great Gorge Golf Club!

Outstanding Day at Great Gorge Golf Club!

Played a full round on Sunday, April 12, 2026, and I couldn't be more impressed. The course was in fantastic shape — fairways lush, greens rolling true and quick, and the views across the Vernon Valley were absolutely stunning as always.

The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly from the moment I pulled up. Check-in was smooth, and everyone I interacted with went out of their way to make the day enjoyable.

After the round, we headed over to Hef's Hut and it was outstanding! The food was delicious, the service was top-notch, and the atmosphere with those beautiful mountain views made it the perfect way to cap off a great day of golf.

Highly recommend Great Gorge Golf & Country Club — whether you're a local or just visiting, this place delivers. Will definitely be back soon!

Nice course / friendly staff

This was a nice course at a very fair price. Staff was very friendly. Nice pro shop. An additional bonus was their bar / restaurant called Heff's Hut. Great place to hang after a round!
