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.

Wet soggy fairways

Some holes are very pretty while others with standing water (usually around the lake, feel like a local muni) I play this course about once a year and can be an extremely nice track if they invest in course conditions.

One employee ruined great rounding.

Last year I experienced very bad incident with woman starter. This year the same. Senior lady was nice but another one still showed the same. I learned from other golfers who said she is notorious.

Used to be well maintained

The tee box is like the worst municipal county course the green is decent the bunker is like cement with lots of ground under repairs. I wish a better management will take this course over to bring it back to its old glory!!! I always love the layout and the view but something should change
