GREAT GORGE GOLF CLUB

The George Fazio routing carves through the Kittatinny Mountains with an audacity that modern architects wouldn't dare attempt, sending golfers scrambling up rocky ridgelines and plunging into valleys where approach shots demand surgical precision. Northern New Jersey's most vertically dramatic track rewards bold drives with stunning Appalachian vistas, though the severely sloped greens will humble anyone who neglects their putting touch. This is mountain golf at its most unforgiving and exhilarating—a public gem that plays nothing like the forgettable parkland tracks scattered across the Garden State.
