About Mountain Creek Resort

Mountain Creek Resort is a four-season destination in Vernon, N.J., just an hour outside of New York City. It features a waterpark; the 27-hole Great Gorge course, which was purchased in 2018; the Treescape Aerial Adventure Park, home to zip-lining, climbing obstacles and rope walks; and a Bike Park of 52 trails that is loaded with jumps and 1,000 feet of vertical drop. The course was part of the old Playboy Club in the 1970s and 1980s, attracting famous names such as Dean Martin and Bob Hope for a game. It’s a beautiful property with wonderful mountain views and elevation changes. Guests can stay in the Appalachian hotel or enjoy more space and privacy in a one- to three-bedroom townhome rental at Black Creek Sanctuary. Both accommodations offer outdoor pool and hot tub facilities.

Great Course

Some like to take their sweet time knowing there are others behind them. Almost killed the mood when the guy waited at the next hole to ask for courtesy while he’s taking 15 putts on the green and 17 swings to get to the green itself. Some people don’t have a brain therefore depending who you’re behind determines your day. Other than that, beautiful course and staff is friendly except one that clearly does not want to work there.

First time, will be going all season.

Great open course, good challenge for mid game. I would recommend this course to family and friends without a doubt. Can’t wait for warmer weather

Played the course many years ago in its gay day. Unbelievable views, glad to see it being revitalized -

Cart paths need some work. but I’m sure it’s coming.

I have played it several times this fall and I’m a Li w as us challenged by this course.

Beautiful courses and best value for the price.

Three courses are beautiful!

Lake course. Quarry course and Rail course. I also liked club house and food they served such as grilled hotdog and hamburger which gave us to play 18 holes.

Nice day of fall golf

Had a great round yesterday with a couple friends. Very warm November day. The course was in terrific shape. You have to hand it to grounds crew. All the leaves were blown into the woods. The fairways and rough were incredible as were the traps. The greens were awesome looking. Yet they were a bit fast being this late in the season. It was difficult putting and getting the speed right. All in all a great round. And the Hef's Hut restaurant in the clubhouse was amazing. Great look and feel. Nice menu and drink selection. All the staff at Great Gorge were friendly and welcoming. Definitely will be back.
