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.

It’s been awhile…

I haven’t played Great Gorge in over 10 years. Played Rail/Quarry today and a lot has changed. First, the fairways and weren’t uniformly in great shape. Tee boxes and greens were in pretty good shape. Second, they removed the gps system from the golf carts. Not knocking the course, but I remember it being pristine back in the day.. It was def worth the $46 hot deal though.

Views are amazing and greens can be tricky if you’re not paying attention. Can be challenging enough for low handicappers and enjoyable for high handicappers depending on what set of tees you hit from.

All in all, we’ll worth the fee, but def wouldn’t travel from Staten Island again. It’s not the course I remember.

Unfriendly female staff

This course is designed to be quite difficult and many challenges await. However, the unkindness of the staff rather than the course made it quite unpleasant during the game, and I vowed not to come back to this golf course again because of the steps.

In pretty good shape

In pretty good shape we played Lake in rail as the other day . Lake was a little beat up but it was ok Rail was excellent the greens are pretty hard to read , some of the sand traps had rocks in them other where very good tee boxes OK definitely play if you play it for about 50 bucks

Lake 9 Needs Work

We played the Lake/Rail. Was disappointed in the Lake 9. Some pretty rough fairways that really need some attention.

They should consider shutting down Lake for the season and getting it back into playing shape.

Railside was nice with its great signature hole.
