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

Lake 9 Needs Work
We played the Lake/Rail. Was disappointed in the Lake 9. Some pretty rough fairways that really need some attention.
They should consider shutting down Lake for the season and getting it back into playing shape.
Railside was nice with its great signature hole.

Maitenence
Maintenance was consistently a hole in front of us watering at an 8am tee time. They skipped holes making greens slower and way faster very uneven. On a par 3 a maintenance guy was water and didn’t give way to us.
