Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Great public option
Overall, Great Gorge is a great public option with great views of the nearby mountains. No matter which nine you play, it will be a tough test. The greens can get firm and fast, but they roll pretty true. Players can do a better job fixing ball marks. There are a few low areas that get soggy, particularly in the middle of the Lake nine, and on 8 at the Quarry. Other than that, course conditions are decent. A little tough to justify the price point at north of $90, but understandable given the more expensive options at the nearby Crystal Springs courses. At $70-75, Great Gorge would be incredible value, and I heard weekday rates can get below that, so that's something to consider.
Gorge
We played Rail to Quarry front and back nines. The fairways are like carpet. They play fantastic. The Redan shaped greens are firm and fast and vicious if u misplay a shot. The course layout has been a favorite for years. The rock formations and the way the course architect forces shots using those rocks is fun, challenging and rewarding when accomplished. Great weather and the place was quiet. We played in 3 hours at 1:10pm and the rate was more than half that of comparable courses in Sussex.

Please hire a ranger
The course has a few rough holes - mainly on Quarry nine, but overall nice course and well kept. Cart staff seemed frenzied and disorganized. The new restaurant and bar, Jed’s Hut, is a tremendous improvement versus last year. HOWEVER - the pace of play is absolutely brutal. If you enjoy 6 hour plus rounds this is the place for you. Groups were backed up and no one there to speed things up. That’s been my gripe with Great Gorge my past few rounds. After this round i will not be returning. One of the cheaper options in the area but I’d rather pay more to be off course in 4 1/2 hours.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Great Gorge Golf Club - Lake/Quarry Course, and we hope to see you again in the future.
