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

Reviews
GREAT value for a very nice course
Staff was very friendly, course in excellent condition. Only drawback is a lot of the bunkers were filled with rock and the cart paths need to be paved/leveled
Hidden Gem!!
Haven’t played there is a long time due to them closing but they are back and it’s great course in awesome shape. Spent summertime in the area as a kid amd it such a beautiful area. Sad history of such a great place. Give it a shot and keep GG going b c they direction it’s going will be awesome. Thank and kudos to jack the starter he is great amd it was fun talking about the playboy club and action park days of the area. Everyone was so friendly and helpful food was good also and the back deck is gorgeous have fun hit em straight Sorry I didn’t get all the workers names but kudos to them all.

Worth it
I stopped here on a 5+ hour drive from Western PA to NJ and was able to play a round of 18 by myself with a cart. Couldn’t have been much happier I decided to play here. Course was in great shape and the views were outstanding. No issues with pace of play, a foursome ahead of me asked if I wanted to play thru and I did and they were friendly about it. If I had one thing to complain about, it wasn’t always the easiest finding the next hole, especially playing for the first time. The course is actually 3 different 9 hole courses and I played the Lake on the front and the Quarry on the back. At one point someone asked me where the 9th hole on the Rail course was and I didn’t have a clue. I wouldn’t even ding this place a star for that though, my day was made by playing 18 here.
Great Gorge what a gem
