Great Gorge Golf Club - Rail/Lake 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.

Best Conditions i have seen in a while!
Coarse was in great shape , staff friendly and very accommodating, pro shop is stocked and grill was up and running . And even a bonus. Outdoor grill for fast turn, staff actually used all 3 9’s to alleviate traffic . Definitely will return
Great course with 27 holes!
Great Gorge is a great golf course located in Sussex County , NJ. I never get tired of playing here, nice layout with 3 different 9 ‘s. The scenery is beautiful, course conditions are always great, with challenging greens! The staff is always very friendly and accommodating, Wish I lived closer, but will always continue to play here for obvious reasons!
Disorganized shambles
I had a 230 tee time. At 315 I grew tired of waiting for a cart and left. The issues were caused earlier in the day because of slow play. It wasn’t handled, and by the time I was due to tee off, I was hearing rounds were taking 5+ hours. Once the round started. The starters I was dealing with were very nice, apologetic, and professional. But there gooses was cooked earlier. It was bitterly disappointing.
Oh, and we all know the demographic of the slow players. Go ahead, cancel me.
Yet I’m sure you all agree.
Course good shape
Course was very nice visually fairways cut neatly only thing was greens still healing from aeration, another week should be good. Staff friendly helped you out, good value for early season play
Friendly course
The course is very interesting with 3 nines. Staff is very helpful
Overall it is a very good value
Beautiful day to be golfing
I always enjoy playing GG except when the course is backed up due to slow players.
