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.

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.

Good Course with Reservations

Recommend this course with reservation. Fairways and greens were in good shape. Cart paths need much work and score cards need to be updated. Directory signs need improvement

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
