Great Gorge Golf Club - Quarry/Rail Course

Great course, not for beginner golfers. Greens are fast but can be faster if they wanted. With this heat they have to be careful not to burn them out. Danny and staff couldn’t be more accommodating everytime I show up!

Great Gorge is such a beautiful place to play golf. The people that work there are always so helpful and friendly .

Course in good condition overall..

Pros: greens in very good condition,

Cons: parking lot and cart paths still in bad conditions. Bunkers are hard and full of stones.

Fairways still have issues especially Lake #5,6, Quarry #7,8, Rail #9, etc

Great course with length. Extremely difficult to high handicap golfers but beautiful nonetheless.

The golf course has three unique nine-hole layouts: quarry ,lake, and rail. Last time I played quarry and rail, this time I played quarry and lake. The quarry course is very cool it has some very unique style holes that you won't find anywhere. Playing through openings in rock formations, playing around a farm silo. etc. I really enjoyed the lake course I'm so glad I was able to play it this time. It was a beautiful layout in between water on some of the holes. It was the flattest of the three courses but still challenging because of the dog legs and the water. I would say of the three the lake is the most enjoyable to play.

Not a bad course but not with the money they charge. Prices up there at Crystal Springs are getting out of control... Great Gorge not with $100 to play a round ($65-$75 would be fair), Wild Turkey is a nice course but not worth the $140 they charge ($80 - $100 would be fair) and Ballyowen at $240 is INSANE

We played two of the three nines - Quarryside and Railside - which were challenging and visually appealing, which is why you should consider playing the course. However, the "aging classic" reality is that the roads leading up to the course and the paths along it were, to be kind, in disrepair ... so much so that we had to sit up and forward in our cart so that the bumpiness didn't hit us both in our butts and our backs, which is why it's a bit difficult to justify this price point. I'll probably return - it had been years since I've played the course - but don't expect this track to join a regular rotation just because it's a tad pricey for the experience of it: a challenging, visually pleasing course that can be quite painful to get around (because of the ubiquitous bumpiness of the paths and on-site roads).

Beautiful course. Great greens. Previous rainy days required path only for carts. Terrible paths in need of extensive repair. On any other day you can drive on the fairways.

The golf experience was better than I expected. When we entered the property and saw the closed down hotel and the conditions of the parking lot we were not expecting a good course. When we saw the conditions driving range and cart paths we almost asked for a refund. I am glad we stayed for the actual golf course. The fairways, greens and tee boxes were very nice. Greens are very challenging and overall it was a fun course to play.

The worst part of the day was a wedding planned for later in the day. Hef's Hut, the restaurant on the property, was closed the entire day because of the late day wedding. That meant no food or indoor plumbing for our group of 6. Then when approaching our last hole for the day a marshal came out and said we have to hurry up because the wedding would be starting soon they didn't want our playing to interfer with the party.

Total lack of planning. We could have played a different back nine (they have 3) and no one would have been disturbed. You can't shut down indoor plumbing for an entire day because you have a wedding at 5:00 on a Saturday night. Even the staff said the wedding was a mistake and would probably be the last one they do.

My friends and I all agree we would go back to play the couse but we would definitely check on other events happening at the course first

For the money it is a good deal for the money. If you don't mind 5 1/2 hour rounds it's even better. Course has so much potential but drainage is horrendous. Standing water all over course.

The course is very nice however the car path are horrendous. Not sure if they are waiting to put money in this course because of the Hotel coming in or they just gave up on the car path.

If you’re not gonna maintain a car path, rip them up and let us drive on gravel. I give this the worst car path of all golf courses I’ve ever played.

Course is well maintained. Pin placements were diabolical. Friendly staff, especially the starter, Mona.

My son, and my friends all played together this Monday. Let me start by saying this is the best staff of any course I play in NJ. They always accommodate the guests and do it with an attitude of gratitude and that’s so appreciated. If you have not played Great Gorge because it’s to far please make the effort the drive is worth it. GG is one of the nicest public courses you will ever play and the vistas are to die for. If I could give this place a 1000 stars I would. MUST PLAY COURSE for your 2025 season.
