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 layout, poor conditions

Love the layout but unfixed ball marks in every green and some sand traps that haven’t been fixed in years was very unfortunate for $95 Monday morning tee time.

Hot summer day with thunder storm followed up

We had a terrific round in the over 90 degree weather before hitting the wall with slow foursome in front of us. We had to run after finish 16 holes when severe thunder strom touch down in the area. It is still a good round of golf.

Nice course

The course was well-kept. The cart paths could be smoother, but I prefer that the attention is on the courses. The views are beautiful

Fun!

This was a challenging course with beautiful surroundings. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The bar wasn’t open but we grabbed a canned beverage after our round and enjoyed the covered patio anyway. Good deal.

Great Gorge - Not A Bad Value

Course was well manicured. We showed up at 6:30am for our 7am tee time. However course staff showed up at 7:15am which led to initial confusion as there were multiple people awaiting multiple tee times by the time the staff arrived. In addition, members arrived without a tee time and were given golf carts before anyone who had a tee time. Then tee time after mine received their golf carts before me and were allowed to tee off before me. Needless to say it was cluster and mess to start but course itself was well manicured. However the sour taste left by the start of my round will have me think twice before booking this course again.
