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.

Ok

Not bad for early in the year. Pace of play a challenge, 3 groups on the course, still 4 1/2 hour play time a little long iMO. Cart paths are terrible.

New carts have nice juice tho

Great course

Great track. Very different with 100 foot high tees and fabulous views. It was a 5 hour round so that wasn't good.

Had one of the best cuban sandwiches afterward. Definitely one of the must plays in northern new jersey. Worth the ride.

Nice Course but slow

I found the course to be challenging and in great shape this late in the season. The girls taking you up the hill in the big carts is a nice touch. The starter was also very friendly. The only negative was the pace of play was extremely slow. It took over five hours to finish the round.
