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.

Very nice!
Always an enjoyable day at this old classic. Beautiful scenic layout with great views...I played Rail/Quary...the 2 best nines in my opinion. Starter was super cool...staff very friendly....free range balls and bottled water.....not country club conditions, but good enough.....great deal on Golfnow.....highly recommend....and by the way, the old Playboy hotel is still there...abandoned but still cool to see history !
Great course, especially for the money
Played at Course fir first time and found it to be in great shape and in a beautiful setting. Cart path was a bit rough in many places but plenty of care on fairway and greens. I played Rail and Lake courses and preferred Rail of the two. Would like to play Quarry course next time I play.
Course in great shape
The course was in great shape. Greens were very good. Tees and fairways very nice. Worth playing.
Way too expensive
This course is nice but crazy expensive. Not worth $80 to $100 a person. I used to play before the ownership change for $50 tops. Bring down your prices and you will have a ton more players.
Windy but Great Course
Cold Windy day but no one was there and finished under 3 hours. This course has a lot of character and is very picturesque.
GREAT COURSE
Great Gorge is in fantastic shape. From tee boxes to greens, everything was perfect. Highly recommend playing here.
Not your average resort course
Resort courses are visually stunning but are not terribly difficult. Tom Fazio designed a 27 hole course that is both beautiful and a beast. We played the back tees on the Lake and Quarry 9s. Lots of plugged balls from the tee making the holes play very long. Greens we're aerated within 2 weeks but putted pretty true. Need to play this again when it's dried out for some revenge. Lots of fun and plenty of challenge.
Senior discount is wonderful!
Good conditions and nice layout are only enhanced by the over 50 senior discount. Electric carts are both quiet and speedy, much better than gas carts.
Beautiful scenery
The course is breath taking. Course is also well maintained the staff is friendly. Will definitely book another tee time soon.
Thank GC country club.
Keep up the good work
Great Gorge 10/17
Glad to see this course open again. I was greeted by a friendly staff and no delay with my check-in. Range balls are included with the greens fee. The greens were aerated recently, still causing some bounce but surprisingly rolled true 95% of the time. Tee boxes were in good shape. Traps were compact but workable.
Cart paths were bumpy through out and the fairway on hole 8 (Quarry) could use some TLC if you're not a long ball hitter.
Management is offering annual memberships for next year so be sure to ask if interested.
this course was in great condition.
this course was in great condition for only being reopened for a few years. staff was very friendly.
Glad to be back!
First time playing since the course closed almost 3 years ago. Course was in super shape as if it had never been closed. The old "Playboy Club" was always my go to in the area because it offered a great course and was usually $25-$65 cheaper than the other resort options around. Glad to see it's back and still offers one of the best combos for golf & value in the area. I'll definitely be back!
Course has reopened
My first time back since the course reopened. Nice condition. Greens were fast and in good condition. Rolled true.
Love This Course
If you have never played Great Gorge you definitely need to put it on your list. Such a beautiful, unique course unlike any other I have ever played. Course was in great condition, pace of play was excellent, staff very friendly and welcoming, and a great value. Perfect fall weather and an overall perfect day! Anytime I am in this area this is my go to course.
Scenic North Jersey
Just a beautiful, enjoyable course. Great deal for seniors(over 50). Glad to see they are back in business.
