Mountain Creek Resort
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

Overall Rate
Tee boxes definitely need work. The fairways were soft and bit on the hairy side. If you hit fairway it’ll roll maybe 1-10 yards or not at all. If you hit rough good luck finding your ball(not every hole). You’ll definitely run over a golf ball or find some if you’re right above it otherwise taking a stroke and drop is highly recommended. Greens were above average I’d say the stimp was about 8-9 but I felt it was a bit on the slower side(my dad and I are use to playing 10 and above) but that could be due to playing in the early morning. Pace of play was great finished in 3hrs and 10min. However, if you’re not hitting the first to fifth tee time you’ll most likely have a five hour round. Overall I’d rate the course currently 4 Star, great track.
PS. If you slice or hook often please do not play here otherwise go up to the very front tee box.
Slow and fast
Pace of play extremely slow..almost every 5hours!
Greens are fast especially downhill.. no 5 on rail(par 3) crazy slopes, 3-4 putts if you are above the hole
Great greens!
Last time I played here was in the pouring rain 20 years ago. Greens were great, prices fair, people working super helpful, fun layout. Surprised how nice the conditions were.
Nice course
Nice layout, the tee boxes could use a little attention there were a lot of bare spots and uneven footing. I thought the fairways could be mowed a little shorter. Not a lot of run out. However the greens were amazing.
Always a great time
It’s always a good time at GG. They obviously care about the facility, and it’s a great value
Good shape
The course is in great shape for early in the season
Phenomenal
Keep this place going. Must play amazing experience. Great golf escape. So much to do can spend the whole day there.
Outstanding Day at Great Gorge Golf Club!
Outstanding Day at Great Gorge Golf Club!
Played a full round on Sunday, April 12, 2026, and I couldn't be more impressed. The course was in fantastic shape — fairways lush, greens rolling true and quick, and the views across the Vernon Valley were absolutely stunning as always.
The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly from the moment I pulled up. Check-in was smooth, and everyone I interacted with went out of their way to make the day enjoyable.
After the round, we headed over to Hef's Hut and it was outstanding! The food was delicious, the service was top-notch, and the atmosphere with those beautiful mountain views made it the perfect way to cap off a great day of golf.
Highly recommend Great Gorge Golf & Country Club — whether you're a local or just visiting, this place delivers. Will definitely be back soon!
Nice course / friendly staff
This was a nice course at a very fair price. Staff was very friendly. Nice pro shop. An additional bonus was their bar / restaurant called Heff's Hut. Great place to hang after a round!
