Great Fall Day
Everything was great. Weather, staff, course conditions.
great day 3 hr round with wife
Recently aerated green but fully healed a little soft but great condition. Played on Thursday am- not crowded at all - went out as a twosome and got done quick. Perfect weather for early foliage. Very pretty
.
Great value
Played the lake and rail today at great gorge…it’s been several years, but I will say that the layout is better than I remembered, and though it rained quite a bit yesterday, the course was in great shape..will definitely play again later this month, when fall arrives..great value!!!!!
Great course
With all the rain we've had up here in North Jersey, I think the course was in GREAT shape. I would recommend Great Gorge to any golfer regardless of ability. The views and conditions are always spectacular. One of my favorite courses in North Jersey.
the pace of play was just really really slow. I think ebcuase carts were cart path only...which is annoying and silly. the conditions were fine and walking all over the place defeats the purpose of paying for a cart.

Beautiful course
Course was fun and challenging. Tees, fairways and greens in excellent condition. Cart paths could use some improvements. Better signs needed to for directions
Overall good
Good conditions, enjoyable course layout. Pretty nice golf course.
good play
played quary / rail courses. Staff was very friendly. Course nicely cared for. golf carts have the bag covering and the snack cart came thru at least 5 times during our round. Course is somewhat challenging with narrow fairways and interesting views to the green. sadly, not enough golfers tended to their divots on the green. And no ranger, so myself and and 2 groups in front had to wait for 1 slow group. But hard to get too upset as this is a nice course. Sadly the old hotel is an eye sore and neglected parking lot is sad. Get past that, and great day of golf is ahead.
