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.

Very slow pace of play for the afternoon

Decided to do a 3pm tee time instead of an early morning one. This was a mistake. Ended up being a 5 hour round. Were tons of beginners out there taking 3 and 4 shots every time. Dress code was also not enforced were plenty of guys wearing jeans and t-shirts. At no time did staff attempt to move the pace of play along. Will never book in the afternoon again.

Fun

Only second time playing the course and it certainly makes you be accurate on all your shots. Pace was a little bit slow, but we were a twosome playing behind a foursome so it was expected. Seemed like it might have been a “big money” match LOL. It was good and we got a Hotdeal which made the price $20 per guy and that’s a great price.

Course was in good condition, but somehow they ran out of carts so our tee time was a half hour delayed. Front was slow, back a little better. Overall good day.
