Mountain Creek Resort
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
We played the Quarry and Lakes.
Both very pretty and fun to play.
Can't wait to go back.
Great course overall
Great cpurse overall. Can be a bit confusing for a first timer.
Quality Golf Experience
The tees, fairways and greens were all in good shape; the bunker and sand traps need work; the staff was very friendly and accommodating; the course has great scenery; the cart paths are paved and some need work; pace of play was good; ball cleaners on each hole; snack & beverage cart service, and shuttle service to and from parking are.This is a quality golf course that will test anyone's golf game.
Great shape
Need to speed up pace of play otherwise course was in great shape I will play it again
Great Gorge is back
Great Gorge is open and the course is in very good condition , played in 4:15 minutes , greens pefect , bunkers could use some help but overall very good conditions . Get out take the ride and enjoy
Good course for the money
It's a nice course and priced well. Many of the sand traps have stones in them and are poorly kept. But overall really enjoyed it
It is coming back , greens are in great condition
Course has great views and challangeing layout. Distances are not quite working correctly and needs better markers
Decent and worth the cost
Greens were in very good shape as was course. The layout is decent. Good value. The only
Major issue is the cart paths are so bumpy my bad back couldn’t take it
LAKE/RAIL May 2018
Course is in great condition, a few soft fairways due to the past rains and a few bumpy greens near the cup made for an interesting afternoon. Pricing has changed this year. Most discounts have been eliminated but the standard price has been reduced. I was on pace to complete 18 in 3 hours however the last 3 holes held me back finishing in 3+30. Looking forward to a replay soon.
good day
Course is in good shape - however long - great service and 19th hole -
Fun, hard and can be better
The conditions were very good considering all the rain we’ve had. But still you can see the course doesn’t have the finishing touches of a top tier course. However the framework is there and we still had a great time on a deceptively hard course, especially the Quarry nine. We started on Rail, which is no slouch. Elevated tee shot to start. The first of back-to-back par fives stood out to me. Quarry has much more character and it is hard, even though it sports three par 3’s. The second is a beast at 220 from the green tees, over water to a narrow green complex. The par 5 with the silo is a logistic nightmare. Hit a good drive with a slight draw leaves you a second through a narrow shoot, over a ravine. Fun and treacherous. The round is somewhat surreal and spooking with the surrounding abandoned hotel looming, along with the overgrown out buildings and parking lots. If only those walls could talk. The clubhouse is adequate and has a decent bar. I think the course will get better if more people play this old 27 hole hidden (and I mean hidden) gem. It just needs a little more polishing.
Always in good shape.Pace of play was excellent.Very enjoyable experience.
I
Need better signs for Club enterance and on course hole directions
Great track
First time playing the here and we were very impressed with the course layout and condition despite recent rains. Greens were true and quick; several with false fronts and steep fall-off. Staff incredibly friendly and helpful. Great value!
Good day of golf!
27 holes of first rate golf. Can't go wrong playing here. Staff is great. Will be back.
My only criticism is cart paths need some work otherwise you will enjoy the golf.
