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

Fun Course in Good Shape for Good Value
Fairly easy with nice variety of holes. Fairway and greens were in great condition, Only compliant is lack of hole direction signs as there are several path intersections between the 3 nines along with maintenance paths

Need better ownership
Staff did the best they could with what they had. Massive delays to tee off because many carts were dead. This slowed pace of play. Only got 9 holes in due to the delay and slow pace and now it gets dark at 4:30. Range balls are atrocious, maybe bring your own cut up balls to get rid of.
