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.Facts

Course was great, speed was not
6 plus hour round of golf… we waited at least 10 minutes before we could tee off each hole, much longer on par 3s. Back 9 was quicker, but after 3 1/2 hours for front 9, we couldn’t even finish the round. Really unfortunate for an otherwise nice course.

Great course
Challenging greens. Add 10 to 12 strikes on just for the very fast dome shaped greens. Beautiful scenery

Worth the trip!
3 separate full length 9 hole courses make up this hidden gem. Challenging enough from the tips for those that desire a challenge and very playable for the shorter hitters. The course is always in good shape and the staff is chill. Like the course and the vibe.

Solid Value and Great Layout
Great layout. Three 9s that have lots of undulations and challenging holes. Greens in solid shape for Oct. amenities are minimal, but not lacking. Staff really friendly and accommodating. Only complaint is course pace can get bad and didn't see a ranger more than one time. Too many groups not accustomed to pace etiquette.
