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.

I’m not really motivated to share because I like the course and the experience every time I go. The more people that come the slower the rounds go lol.

Good staff and great golf.

Nor’Easter

Course was great as usual. The fact they didn’t close during a Nor’Easter and crazy rain and winds was nuts. Practically forced to play in that weather because GoflNow wouldn’t give me credit or rain check unless the golf course itself closed. It was an experience to say the least.

Great day to Golf!

We golf annually at the Gorge, same time each year. I usually golf with a total of 11-12

We all had a great day, and the weather started off cool but warmed up as we golfed.

I highly recommend this course for its value and breath-taking views.

Thanks to the great Staff.

Tough greens

While the course is in fairly good condition, their cart path can use much repair....be prepared to be bumped around 😁

Pretty open & wide fairways but pretty challenging greens! Fairways don't roll much, I think they needed to mow the grass down more. Overall good experience for the price paid.
