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.

Great course

With all the rain we've had up here in North Jersey, I think the course was in GREAT shape. I would recommend Great Gorge to any golfer regardless of ability. The views and conditions are always spectacular. One of my favorite courses in North Jersey.

the pace of play was just really really slow. I think ebcuase carts were cart path only...which is annoying and silly. the conditions were fine and walking all over the place defeats the purpose of paying for a cart.

Beautiful course

Course was fun and challenging. Tees, fairways and greens in excellent condition. Cart paths could use some improvements. Better signs needed to for directions
