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.

Please hire a ranger

The course has a few rough holes - mainly on Quarry nine, but overall nice course and well kept. Cart staff seemed frenzied and disorganized. The new restaurant and bar, Jed’s Hut, is a tremendous improvement versus last year. HOWEVER - the pace of play is absolutely brutal. If you enjoy 6 hour plus rounds this is the place for you. Groups were backed up and no one there to speed things up. That’s been my gripe with Great Gorge my past few rounds. After this round i will not be returning. One of the cheaper options in the area but I’d rather pay more to be off course in 4 1/2 hours.

Great course understand the value increase

It is always a great course that usually has plenty of tee times and have made tremendous improvements so I understand the raise in rate but 90 is a bit steep right now, 80 on the weekend is about right

I have played this course for on and off for over 40 years. It was great to see the condition back to championship form. Obviously still have to work on some of the cart paths but good to see money is going back into the course and the layout is just fantastic.

Also loved the new pub
