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.

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

Always a good time

Course is always fun with a great layout and it is well maintained. Been playing here for a few years now. Father’s Day definitely had some lazy dads not fixing pitch marks but that’s on the players not the course. Will be back again and again and again.

No Rangers

Fine course but pace of play was slow. Often waiting for group in front of us to tee off as they were waiting for groups in front of them. Did not see a ranger during the entire round to move the pace along.

GREAT Gorge no longer

Obviously not what it used to be...but nothing is. I remember this course when it was pristine. Biggest disappointment was the tee boxes...very poorly maintained. Great layout and beautiful views.

tee times need to be spaced out more.....and although i understand its to preserve the course but cart path only on some holes when the course is extremely dry makes no sense.....It just makes the wait longer

Great scenery

Not only is the course fun to play and well maintained, the views are amazing. The cats are clean. The greens are fast, fairways well kept. Even the concessions are fast and priced well.
