Great Gorge Golf Club - Quarry/Rail Course
About

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.

Great course!
All are great except missing yardage on the cart… thank you
Fun but slow day
I see people complaining about the cart paths and the carts. If you are looking for top of the line carts or paths that are paved smooth then don't play here. The course was well kept some t boxes were good others not so much but for $45 during the week the place is well worth it. Only problem was pace of play. It was slow. 1130 t time and finished exactly 5 hours. The burgers at the turn were good. Oh and the greens are pretty tough. Played rail/lake and some challenging putting but great day overall.
Excellent greens
First time playing the course. I was a little nervous pulling into course because of the surroundings; but I was very pleasantly surprised after teeing off. I played lakes and quarry. All the greens are healthy and fast. Fairways are lush and a very nice layout. I would return
1st round of the season
The course was in good shape. Course is challenging and fun to play.
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
