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 conditions for Fall play
I never seem to do well on this course, it’s more challenging then it seems. Course was in good condition and the leaves were well managed which is to say if you stayed on the fairway you could find your ball ( not so much if you hit an errand shot). Slow 4- some in front of us impacted pace of play but it was a nice day.
