About

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 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.
Beautiful course
The course was in great shape and fast greens.
Played with my son and we had a great day, can’t wait to play it again.
Great value. Even better course
One of the best layouts in the area. It’s a very challenging course that emphasizes hitting fairways but doesn’t kill your if you don’t. This is my second time playing here and I’ve enjoyed every single round. Fairways are well kept and greens are fast. Definitely one of the hidden gems in north jersey.
Amazing course, very scenic
I would have given the course conditions 5 stars instead of four if it wasn’t for all the rain we had, that’s 100% out of there control. That being said this is a beautiful course, fairways are in great shape, greens are really really fast, pace of play is great(due to the three 9s) and the staff is amazing. The course is great for beginners but also has challenging holes, the rough is not super punishing but the fairways aren’t always easy to hit and the greens are even harder to hit. My biggest challenge here was reading greens as they undulate a lot and are super fast. On top of all this you get panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. It’s a hidden gem, you will find a lot of the Vernon locals there.
