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.

Need better ownership

Staff did the best they could with what they had. Massive delays to tee off because many carts were dead. This slowed pace of play. Only got 9 holes in due to the delay and slow pace and now it gets dark at 4:30. Range balls are atrocious, maybe bring your own cut up balls to get rid of.

45 min delay

Had a 12:18 tee time but they did not let us out until after 1pm. They were short on carts too. Bathroom is dirty and smells awful, they look like they were never cleaned since the course reopened last year. Yuk!!
