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.

Solid Courses
Great Gorge is solid—a good challenge for all types of players.
Tired and old
In general, this is barely a 4 star course. 3.5 at best. Everything just seemed tired and old. Between the abandoned old playboy resort buildings and deteriorating parking lots and roads, It just felt like Hugh Hefner was still haunting the place being creepy.
$75 a round is steep for carts with NO GPS and the course conditions were as good as a county course. Which is pretty much mediocre.
Staff are nice, but....I won't be back anytime soon.
Golf
The burgers I bought for 8dollars apiece were raw and the soda was 3 months past the due date beside that the course is beautiful just bring your own food
Great
Course is in terrific shape for February. Greens punched 2-3 weeks ago so sand and bumps are present but not bad at all. Bare foliage makes it easier to find balls that otherwise would be long gone. Only issue was slight delay teeing off bc too many carts were given out in the AM. I’ll be back this winter.
Immaculate for this time of the year. Could only imagine how it looks like in season
Spectacular
When I get 1st hole surprise cuz amazing landscapes
Every hole great maintenance
Fast green it’s fun fun
I will strong recommended
Good conditions for Fall play
I never seem to do well on this course, it’s more challenging then it seems. Course was in good condition and the leaves were well managed which is to say if you stayed on the fairway you could find your ball ( not so much if you hit an errand shot). Slow 4- some in front of us impacted pace of play but it was a nice day.
Always Great at the Gorge
Been playing here almost since the bunnies roamed the course. Always pretty decent conditions. Staff always friendly, considering post Covid stuff.
