Great Gorge Golf Club - Quarry/Rail Course
About
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.

Best bang for your buck
It’s the best bang
For the buck I live up in northern jersey closer to the city and drive an hour away cause there is always good times available
Hot summer afternoon with good course condition and nice pace
Great Gorge is coming back to the elite condition that every one remember after Pandemic. The green is challenged and hard to control the speed of putt. The layout is always interested.
Awesome
I love this course. With 3 nine holes one is shut per week helping keep this place so nice. Difficult to get a tee time sometimes but if you get the chance play it!
Great golfing condition.
Two negatives: traps need more sand; players need to repair their ball divot on green plus one other.
Mountain Creek Golf
Course is vey nice, three nine hole options. The day we went it was supposed to rain which it did but we were able to complete 19 holes. There isn’t much amenities there and when we went there were no beverage cart out. On the turn the staff offered us a bottle of water which was nice.
Best Course Ever
This is the best course ever I've played in so far. Their hot deal is ridiculously cheaper than the regular price. For this price, I guarantee you that you can't find a course with this high quality. I would definitely come back.
Great Gorge Is Tough!
Played Rail-Lake. Fun layout! I’ve played Great Gorge a bunch of times, and it is always good. It’s a tough course, and the conditions are very good. Make sure you take a extra look at the yardages, and use enough club. Some holes are very deceiving.
For $47.00, it’s a pretty good deal.
Great Value
Great Gorge is definitely a diamond in the rough type of course in northern NJ. The value based on what you pay per round and the course conditions are one of the best in the state. The 3 9-hole courses all have challenging , forgiving, and holes that you would love to play over and over again. I will definitely be back to play in the near future.
Horrible experience - course nice, staff and policies horrendous
Staff kept us off the course after a thunderstorm cell rolled through. Thunderstorm was done and gone through the area, and sunny skies were out. They made us wait about 75 minutes after the sun came out before they allowed us to get back on the course. It was 5:30 at the time the storm came through and was gone by 6pm. The staff just wanted to go home and not let anybody back out on the course. Pretty unreal. Lack of common sense applied. Won’t be back which is a shame because it’s a nice course. The photos show the time after the storm when we still weren’t allowed back out. I understand safety, but this was stupidity.
