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.

good play

played quary / rail courses. Staff was very friendly. Course nicely cared for. golf carts have the bag covering and the snack cart came thru at least 5 times during our round. Course is somewhat challenging with narrow fairways and interesting views to the green. sadly, not enough golfers tended to their divots on the green. And no ranger, so myself and and 2 groups in front had to wait for 1 slow group. But hard to get too upset as this is a nice course. Sadly the old hotel is an eye sore and neglected parking lot is sad. Get past that, and great day of golf is ahead.

Great Course

This is a great layout with 3 nines, 27 holes. Alot of work has been done in the last 2 years and it shows. The Supt. and his crew have done a great job and the Greens are in excellent condition. If you have never played here, you are missing out on a good day of Golf.

What’s old is new again

I haven’t played this course in over ten years and was very surprised by how well maintained the course is today. Staff was very friendly and the views are great. Greens are very consistent and well maintained. I thoroughly enjoyed playing and will be back soon.

Get the Tree Monkeys off the course!

Been playing here for 35+ years.

Never have I had to chase Tree Monkeys off a green.

After hitting my my ball a few yards short on the 3rd hole on Quarry a gang of Tree Monkeys ran up to the green and made off with my ball. I had to jump in my cart and chase after them to get my ball back.

Yeah, having a Treescape Aerial Adventure Park located between the 3rd and 4th hole is not ideal. And, having Tree Monkeys walking on the cart paths when your trying to hit your ball is not fun either. But, having a bunch of untrained staff who are clueless to the issue, or worse yet a golf course owner who could care less, well that's the pits.

For now on I won't be golfing at Great Gorge on weekends.

I'm only giving the course play a single star this time. Seriously, someone is gonna get hurt playing around the 3rd hole on Quarry with its monkey business.

Greens fast and consistent

Fairways in great shape should have called a ranger the people in front of us if they moved any slower they would have been going backwards

Hot summer afternoon with good pace of play

The course condition is great. Putting is tricky! However, you should not miss the fun course.
