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.

Hidden gem

Other than some rain it was a great day. Course was in very good condition. Greens were in very good shape for late summer and all the play. THe staff from inside to starter were friendly and helpful. Beautiful views made for a wonderful golf experience.

Better but

Course in much better condition than in years past although cart paths and parking lot still in bad condition.

Pace of play very slow..we were a foursome waiting on every hole behind a very slow twosome.

Some fairways are bumpy like 5,6 on lake..water doesn’t drain well.

Good course, good potential

Played with friend on Golf Now deal. Pace of play was very slow, almost 5 hours. Course ok condition. But I love the course as being challenging and over all a great place. Carts were worn and course conditions just ok.

Overall Great Gorge is the best course around!

Always have a great experience playing at Great Gorge!

Great layout with tees that challenge any golfer. Scenery is outstanding, Wish I lived closer but the 1 hour drive is well worth ! Kudos to the staff and all the workers, this place is a gem!

Wet soggy fairways

Some holes are very pretty while others with standing water (usually around the lake, feel like a local muni) I play this course about once a year and can be an extremely nice track if they invest in course conditions.
