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.

Good Condition need a ranger

The course was in good shape except for bare spots on a few tees. The pace of play ground to a halt on the back 9 as the 2 foursomes ahead of us had at least 3 open holes in front of them by the end & there was no ranger to move them along

GGG 9.14.24

Greeted by friendly staff and started on time. Unfortunately,

My start time was on the back end of a tournament and pace of play was extremely slow. The fairways and tee boxes were in good conditions while the greens still had a slight bumpiness from aeration a few weeks ago.

Food at Hef’s Hut was very good.

Nice course

The course os in great shape. Worth going to and does not get the respect it deserves. The only know is the car paths need repaving. If forced to take a cart, have the conditions better. The golf course tres, fairways and greens were in great shape. Especially for this tome of year

Starter !!!

The elderly female starter at this course attended to her familiar customers first, making us wait for a long time. We patiently began our round, but all the greens were aerated. They should have informed us about this situation in advance.
