Great Gorge Golf Club - Lake/Quarry Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

No maintenance
Nothing maintained, the course is in very poor conditions. I would not come back here again. Ghost former Mr. Hefner’s paradise.
Conditions were great for mid February. Course was dry and very playable.
Winter golf at its best!
Great winter golf conditions with no cart restrictions. Weird the have skiers in the background! Bar has drinks restaurant open Thursday through the weekend. My first time but I’ll be back. Thanks!
Nice Layout
Nice layout and the conditions were pretty good for the winter month. They definitely need a parking lot. If you don't play early you walk along way from the other parking area to the club house.
Lake/Rail in January
I was pleasantly surprised at the condition of the Lake & Rail 9's. Of course it was moist, but overall in Very good shape. The Greens rolled true & were pretty quick. Even though it was Cart Path Only, some players were OFF the path on numerous occasions. A shame that in January golfers knowing we just stole a day out, couldn't honor the requests of the Facility. for CPO. It was a great day to be outside instead of being hunkered down indoors..
A great day to be playing & the cost was fair & reasonable for January 2023
Course was in great shape for winter time.
Was very cold out so nobody was there. Course was in good shape. Had a good round.
Wonderful golf course
It's an excellent golf course.
All staff are pleasant and significant assistance to players
You can also enjoy the fall scenery.
It is wonderful.
Scenic Challenging Course, Slow Pace of Play and Conditions could be better
Very scenic course and friendly staff. Pace of play was poor and aside from all the water on the course the tee boxes were in bad shape and fairways were okay. Hit the practice green first instead of the driving range since the greens are lightning fast.
Greens are in Phenomenal shape!!
I was truly a regular at Great Gorge when it was apart of Crystal Springs. I play in a weekly league and would probably play 3 other times weekly as well. With the 3 9-hole options you can always get a different feel for the course. My point, back then the greens were always in rough shape, today was the 1st time back since new ownership took over. I must say I have never seen those greens , the entire course for that matter look so good. Bravo to the ground crew and new management. The course is still very wet all over the place, but even with that the place looks and plays great.
Great course!
All are great except missing yardage on the cart… thank you
