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 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

Worth it

I stopped here on a 5+ hour drive from Western PA to NJ and was able to play a round of 18 by myself with a cart. Couldn’t have been much happier I decided to play here. Course was in great shape and the views were outstanding. No issues with pace of play, a foursome ahead of me asked if I wanted to play thru and I did and they were friendly about it. If I had one thing to complain about, it wasn’t always the easiest finding the next hole, especially playing for the first time. The course is actually 3 different 9 hole courses and I played the Lake on the front and the Quarry on the back. At one point someone asked me where the 9th hole on the Rail course was and I didn’t have a clue. I wouldn’t even ding this place a star for that though, my day was made by playing 18 here.
