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 course

With all the rain we've had up here in North Jersey, I think the course was in GREAT shape. I would recommend Great Gorge to any golfer regardless of ability. The views and conditions are always spectacular. One of my favorite courses in North Jersey.

the pace of play was just really really slow. I think ebcuase carts were cart path only...which is annoying and silly. the conditions were fine and walking all over the place defeats the purpose of paying for a cart.

good play

played quary / rail courses. Staff was very friendly. Course nicely cared for. golf carts have the bag covering and the snack cart came thru at least 5 times during our round. Course is somewhat challenging with narrow fairways and interesting views to the green. sadly, not enough golfers tended to their divots on the green. And no ranger, so myself and and 2 groups in front had to wait for 1 slow group. But hard to get too upset as this is a nice course. Sadly the old hotel is an eye sore and neglected parking lot is sad. Get past that, and great day of golf is ahead.

Great Course

This is a great layout with 3 nines, 27 holes. Alot of work has been done in the last 2 years and it shows. The Supt. and his crew have done a great job and the Greens are in excellent condition. If you have never played here, you are missing out on a good day of Golf.

What’s old is new again

I haven’t played this course in over ten years and was very surprised by how well maintained the course is today. Staff was very friendly and the views are great. Greens are very consistent and well maintained. I thoroughly enjoyed playing and will be back soon.
