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.

Open fairways and consistent greens

Tough for any first timer getting around but after that it’s a breeze to get through the course. Only wish they would allow you to pick which to to play.

Terrific Starter

The Starter helped us tremendously. One of our foursome got stuck in a traffic delay and was half an hour late. The Starter handled this professionally and pleasantly, and our round was saved. (I don’t know the Starter’s name. He wore a University of South Carolina logo on his shirt, since his son went to school there.)

This gentleman is a Pro!

GREAT value for a very nice course

Staff was very friendly, course in excellent condition. Only drawback is a lot of the bunkers were filled with rock and the cart paths need to be paved/leveled
