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.

Love Great Gorge

This course is always kept in great shape and the staff is all very friendly. They have three nine holes, a putting green and a small driving range. All three nines are fun to play and are all very different from each other. This course charges $10-$20 less than surrounding courses also. The only bad thing I can say is the road going to the parking lot is horrible. lol Its like driving on a safari. Other than that great course, great food/bar, great staff. (Especially Emil! He is always very helpful with getting you out on the course when its busy.

A need of investment

The old Playboy club still stands next to the course. Played the Lake and the Quarry. Lake was extremely wet despite not having rained. That side also needed work on tee boxes, 2 were very uneven. Quarry was a fun side. Greens were brutal in speed and didn't hold any shots. Putting was a brutal undertaking. They need to redo the cart paths. A little love and $ would make this a gem. Staff was great! Pro Shop was underwhelming.

Love the track, a bit too wet after so much rain. Greens are great, true, and fast. Not for the meek.

Fun

Only second time playing the course and it certainly makes you be accurate on all your shots. Pace was a little bit slow, but we were a twosome playing behind a foursome so it was expected. Seemed like it might have been a “big money” match LOL. It was good and we got a Hotdeal which made the price $20 per guy and that’s a great price.

Very slow pace of play for the afternoon

Decided to do a 3pm tee time instead of an early morning one. This was a mistake. Ended up being a 5 hour round. Were tons of beginners out there taking 3 and 4 shots every time. Dress code was also not enforced were plenty of guys wearing jeans and t-shirts. At no time did staff attempt to move the pace of play along. Will never book in the afternoon again.

Great time great gorge

Awesome time - played all 27 but each set of 9 had very cool differences that made it challenging while seeming to be totally different courses until the final 1-2 holes bring you back to the middle of the property as you get closer to the club house

11/10 glizzys too

Course was in good condition, but somehow they ran out of carts so our tee time was a half hour delayed. Front was slow, back a little better. Overall good day.
