Golfer Reviews
Course condition is getting better
The fairways and the greens are getting better to the original forms after a few years of course closed. The pace is good which we finish in 3 1/2 hours.
Great Course
Beautiful course - Staff was so friendly and accommodating. Greens were fast and true - tee boxes and fairways in great conditions. Right next to the old Playboy Club. Remember the time when my folks used to bring me there back in the 70's. The course is in a lot better condition than the Playboy building.
Players make the course
The course has finally dried out and is starting to get tougher which is great. Greens have always been super and now are really rolling . I just wish the people who play here would learn to replace divots and repair ball marks on the greens so I can give this course a 5 star rating. My only other beef is that the owner refuses to open the kitchen early so those of us who play early are left to fend for ourselves. The starters Emile and Dan are first class and really make playing there feel like a private club. So happy this place has reopened!
Enjoyed this place.
Always enjoyed playing this course. Beautiful country setting that is set away from highways, etc. Pace of play was great, and it's inexpensive compared to other layouts in the area. We will be back.
stands the test of time
only really good courses keep you looking forward to playing them, this one does! great layout, views to die for, very nice club house. that said it has its needs- cart paths need help- bunkers better than most in area but need sand (you thinks sand is gold in nj) could use some smart drainage help but remember we just had wettest 12 months I ever seen.
keep the price fair and keep moving it in a positive direction
thanks see you sunday
Slow
Greens were slow and pace of play was extremely slow; took almost 5 hours!
Fairways and cart paths need repairs everywhere. This course does not drain well..bunkers are full of stones... not much improvements since the course reopened
Beautiful layout
I enjoy the round of golf every time I play there.
The course has beautiful scenery
I love the layout of all three courses. And well maintained
Top notch
Course keeps getting better and better every time I play .The Maintenance crew constantly doing work and upgrading conditions. Lou And Pete Greet you with a smile and help with your bag and ride back from parking lot . Course is a great challenge greens in great shape as are fairways
Slow play
Very slow play here played several times last summer very crowded and never saw a ranger to encourage pace of play I've always liked the course having played it many times in the past. Pace of play is just too slow
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are glad to see you rated the course conditions and layout to be great during your game. We will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Great Gorge at Mountain Creek. We hope to see you again soon.
Excellent layout
The condition of Rail 9 was excellent. Lake 9 was a bit wet in spots, but by far the best conditions that I have played in the area this season. Played as a twosome and finish in a little one 3 hours. Pure joy!
Thank you for visiting us at Great Gorge at Mountain Creek Resort - Lake/Quarry Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Rail to Lake at Great Gorge
I had heard that investments have been made to the courses and this is true. Much improved since I last played 15 years ago. Pluses: vistsa are great and the greens are in superb condition. Minuses: my Bushnell watch did not have the course in it. Some pin placements were not on plateaus. Sand in the bunkers on Lake 17 is rocky and poor. Tee shot on Lake 18 is awful. Really no landing area and cart path is practically in the fairway. That said -- enjoyed it and would play again.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Great Gorge at Mountain Creek Resort - Lake/Quarry Course.
Birdies and double bogeys
Played here 3 times. All 3 times cart path only. While there were 3 or 4 holes that were wet the others were dry. Other courses will tell u for example all par threes plus holes 7 and 10 are cart path only. The same should be done here.
The amenities cart is grossly overpriced. I would rather dehydrate than pay 450 for a Gatorade and 350 for a bag of chips
Great Track/Great Value
have played this course for over 30 years. Had some lean years in the past, however since taken over by Mountain Creek it is in pretty good shape. Try out their triple play. $99 gets you 3 rouinds, with cart, ANYTIME
Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing Great Gorge at Mountain Creek Resort - Lake/Quarry Course. We hope to see you again soon.
