The Quarry Course
The Quarry Course is where the game gets a little more hands-on.
It trades the wide-open views of the other nines for tight, winding fairways cut directly into the rugged, exposed stone that gave Great Gorge its name in the first place.
Built on rugged history

This layout brings you right through the old mining roots that gave Great Gorge its name in the first place.

Course Specs by Tee
MAKE EVERY ROUND COUNT
The Layout: Hole-by-Hole
The Short Handshake
A quick, isolated par 3 right out of the gate to test your iron play before you even get warm. No time to ease into the round—hit the green or find yourself scrambling out of the sand early.
The Granite Climb
A long, sweeping dogleg that hugs the upper ridge line. Keep your tee shot left of the fairway bunker to give yourself a clean look down the hill toward a heavily protected green.
The Wall
The signature hole of the entire property. This par 3 is a long, nerve‑wracking forced carry over water to a green. Pick the right club, commit to the swing, and ignore the rocks.
The Narrow Chute
A short, downhill par 4 that requires discipline. The fairway is up against a wall at the end of the landing zone, so leaving the driver in the bag for a long iron or hybrid is usually the smartest play to avoid running out of room.
The Pocket Green
A clever par 4 that doglegs slightly to the right, wrapping around a water hazard tucked along the right flank. With no front bunkers guarding the putting surface, players enjoy an open run-up to the green.
The Island Pocket
A beautiful but dangerous par 3. You are hitting across a large lake to a green that sits like a peninsula on the edge of the water. Check the wind before you swing — there is no safety net here.
The Lower Trench
Running along the southern edge of the map, this par 4 is flanked by water along the entire left side. A straight, low ball flight keeps you safe from the breeze and puts you in position to attack the pin.
The Gauntlet Back
Heading back west, this long par 4 features a wide‑open fairway that slowly pinches as you approach the green, with water tracking the entire left side of your second shot.
The Clubhouse Chute
A strong, uphill finish that tracks right and back toward the clubhouse, with water only a concern back to the left of the tee box. Keep your final approach shot clear of any trouble to close out your round with a clean par.
