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.

Beautiful day to be golfing

I always enjoy playing GG except when the course is backed up due to slow players.

No maintenance

Nothing maintained, the course is in very poor conditions. I would not come back here again. Ghost former Mr. Hefner’s paradise.

Hi. Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recover the fairways and greens. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game, and we will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing our course. We hope to see you again soon.

Great

Course is in terrific shape for February. Greens punched 2-3 weeks ago so sand and bumps are present but not bad at all. Bare foliage makes it easier to find balls that otherwise would be long gone. Only issue was slight delay teeing off bc too many carts were given out in the AM. I’ll be back this winter.
