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.

Get the Tree Monkeys off the course!

Been playing here for 35+ years.

Never have I had to chase Tree Monkeys off a green.

After hitting my my ball a few yards short on the 3rd hole on Quarry a gang of Tree Monkeys ran up to the green and made off with my ball. I had to jump in my cart and chase after them to get my ball back.

Yeah, having a Treescape Aerial Adventure Park located between the 3rd and 4th hole is not ideal. And, having Tree Monkeys walking on the cart paths when your trying to hit your ball is not fun either. But, having a bunch of untrained staff who are clueless to the issue, or worse yet a golf course owner who could care less, well that's the pits.

For now on I won't be golfing at Great Gorge on weekends.

I'm only giving the course play a single star this time. Seriously, someone is gonna get hurt playing around the 3rd hole on Quarry with its monkey business.

Greens fast and consistent

Fairways in great shape should have called a ranger the people in front of us if they moved any slower they would have been going backwards

The course condition is great. Putting is tricky! However, you should not miss the fun course.

Happy this course survived!

Have to get here more often. Course conditions were great.....bunkers were in good condition and consistant which i think a few reviews has knocked. Only complaint was not of the golf course but the foursome in front of us played little slow but still finished in 4 1/2 hours. Some spectacular views and very reasonable pricing will get me back a few more times this year.

Well done Great Gorge owners and staff!

This is a hidden away place. Tee boxes need some work but all in all for the price you should try this course.

First Time Playing

Packed but nice course

Great course staff was nice. I went on a Friday and there was 100 people playing. It was nice there are 3 9s so they could spread out everyone. Me and the guys that I played with are fast players so by the 7th hole we caught up to the people in front of us and than it was backed up from there. There were people on the green, another 4 some in the fairway and another about to tee off. If you go at the right time it is an enjoyable time. Great restaurant and bar at the club house with a deck looking out to the first hole and 9th. I would recommend checking out this course.
