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.

Tired and old

In general, this is barely a 4 star course. 3.5 at best. Everything just seemed tired and old. Between the abandoned old playboy resort buildings and deteriorating parking lots and roads, It just felt like Hugh Hefner was still haunting the place being creepy.

$75 a round is steep for carts with NO GPS and the course conditions were as good as a county course. Which is pretty much mediocre.

Staff are nice, but....I won't be back anytime soon.

Great course with 27 holes!

Great Gorge is a great golf course located in Sussex County , NJ. I never get tired of playing here, nice layout with 3 different 9 ‘s. The scenery is beautiful, course conditions are always great, with challenging greens! The staff is always very friendly and accommodating, Wish I lived closer, but will always continue to play here for obvious reasons!

Nice Layout

Nice layout and the conditions were pretty good for the winter month. They definitely need a parking lot. If you don't play early you walk along way from the other parking area to the club house.

Disorganized shambles

I had a 230 tee time. At 315 I grew tired of waiting for a cart and left. The issues were caused earlier in the day because of slow play. It wasn’t handled, and by the time I was due to tee off, I was hearing rounds were taking 5+ hours. Once the round started. The starters I was dealing with were very nice, apologetic, and professional. But there gooses was cooked earlier. It was bitterly disappointing.

Oh, and we all know the demographic of the slow players. Go ahead, cancel me.

Yet I’m sure you all agree.
