Mountain Creek Resort

Just a beautiful, enjoyable course. Great deal for seniors(over 50). Glad to see they are back in business.

I just don't remember this course being that difficult.

Great George Fazio layout. Greens were quick but a little bumpy.

Very happy that Great Gorge is open again. It's a quality layout and is in good condition. There are still some areas that need attention (a few bare/bumpy spots on the greens and some tee boxes, for example), but overall I was happy with the condition of the course given it was closed for a couple years until this season.

Pace of play was great, nobody in front of us the whole round. I'm sure that will change when more people find out it's open again, but that's to be expected.

Greens were quite quick, which was nice. Fairways in great shape. They said they are aerating in mid-October so still another good 3-4 weeks of playing conditions at this course.

One area of disappointment was the check-in process. Apparently they also check in people for some tree climbing/adventure thing at the pro shop, which I found very strange. There were two or three families in the line and it took us 15 minutes of waiting to check in for our round. They had two computers at the desk but only one employee working. The manager did not even notice us in the line, or at worst ignored us. You'd think he could of at least checked us in real quick on the other computer while the other employee was checking in the customers for the tree adventure. Instead he was in the side office the entire time we were waiting and didn't do anything to help move the line along (for the tree adventure or for golfers). When my playing partner went down to ask the outside staff (who are very nice) why there was nobody checking in golfers, they radioed up to the pro shop and the manager said the other employee was and that he was "standing right next to her." That was a total lie and left a bad impression as he was in the side office the entire time. Service is important when trying to bring customers back. Good thing the golf course is in good shape or this would have been a major negative. Instead we were able to move on from it, but it does deserve to be pointed out.

Don't let the decrepit hotel and parking lot turn you off when you pull in. The course is worth playing and is a fun layout.

After change in management, they did a great job with greens and pace of play. Granted it was Sat afternoon twilight, thought value was great. Could use better job at bunkers but overall amazing what ground crews did in couple of months. Definitely will go back for full 27 hole replay.

we played all 3 nines and the rail is now become my favorite. course was in really good shape and with a little more TLC it will become a premier destination in nj public golf. worst knock was the cart paths by others...they weren't that bad. good job who is ever driving this and hope to get there more often. well done!

Great course. Greens are way to fast though. Be up there again next week to try and solve them.

GolfNow got 2 of us a great deal! The course has just reopened this year after being closed a few years and we're glad it's back. Really looking forward to another round or two this year.

Came here on a fluke because a local Large facility nearby didn't tell us they aerated

that same morning.

Over 50yrs old during the week pay $35. I said can't be that good. Well was I surprised.

Worth every penny and more. Not saying it's Augusta.

Greens were top notch. Course challenging. Some spectacular views. Don't let the

falling down old Playboy Club, driveway or parking lot scare you away.

Staff was terrific. 27 hole course. They close one 9 each week to improve it. The day we played it was Quarry/Rail.

Will be back.

Second time playing here this year after the reopening. Course is in decent shape considering it's been closed and basically neglected for over two years. Needs work in so many areas: abandoned hotel and dilapidated parking lot greets you and the staff always don't seem to know what they're doing although they try(?), tee grounds are in bad shape..fairways and bunkers are beaten up and don't drain. Cart paths are the worst and the three 9 holes are not clearly labeled creating some confusion.it would probably take many years of work and lots of $$ to get this place "up to par"

2 days after rain, course very wet. Cart paths are atrocious. Greens are fast, but all domed with signs of age. If you can get a good price, go for it, it's fun.

This course sits in a valley. As a result, it's extraordinarily wet. The grass is very green but there were puddles everywhere. Some of my shots sunk completely into the turf. The fairways were very very soft making it very challenging to strike the ball well consistently. There is no way this course will stay open if they don't make some serious investments in drainage and irrigation.

Also, there was no signage to assist first time golfers where the next tee box is. The cart paths were in terrible condition and I needed to lean forward for most of the ride to prevent a back injury.

This course could be great if they have the money to invest in it. In its current condition it certainly falls short.

- Super friendly staff

- New electric golf carts with USB cell phone chargers

- Complimentary practice balls

- Real grass practice tees

- New clubhouse with beautiful elevated view of the valley

- Finely manicured chipping and putting area

- Course in good shape and beautiful views abound

- One of the nicest tracks in the state

- Course recently reopened and is in great shape with new bunkers and cart paths in progress.

The renovation has done the course well from fairway to green.

But the tee boxes were not level. Ball was consistently above the feet (for a right hand player). Played from the Green tees.

I wanted to have our golf group outing here but after informing the group of the tee boxes, we decided to pass.

Level out the tee boxes and I would give this course 5 Stars.

First off, the staff is insanely nice. From the shuttle driver to the starter to the cashier. Everyone was so helpful and smiled all of the time. The course itself was immaculate. Perfectly cut fairways and greens with a very thick and challenging rough. I played the quarry and the rail courses. We had a threesome which played at a brisk pace but never had to wait after the first hole. Both nines took about 2:15 each. The only complaint I have is that the cart paths are horrible. The 90 degree rule was in use and it was punishing on those paths. Other than that everything was great. Good luck putting on the 9th on quarry. It's a blind approach with a two tiered green. If your not on the same tier as the hole, you are going to have one of the most challenging putts you've ever encountered.

Staff was great and the pace of play was fast. Course conditions were not as good as they have been in the past. Course played like course that just re opend after more than a year of being closed. Still a great layout and I look forward to playing it again when the conditions get better. Right now there are courses in better shape for less money.

First time since it opened back up and it was in great shape! Needed some bunker work otherwise a good golf round!

It was my first time playing at Great Gorge since Mountain Creek took over. Considered it was closed for two years, the conditions were definitely not awful. They were decent. I played on Quarry and Lake. Most of the greens were in pretty good shape, except a few greens had a few spots without grass. Some of the bunkers have fresh new bright white fluffy sand. Some bunkers are more like dirt. Not terrible though. Come next year, this course should be in great shape. This doesn't mean that it's not in good shape this year. It's in great shape for a course that was closed and pretty much neglected for two years while the bank had it. They now have electric golf carts, which are way better than those orange carts that they had. The carts will definitely get beaten up from some of the awful cart paths, haha.

I'm glad that Great Gorge is back. It is one of my favorite layouts. None of the holes are the same. There is a lot of character to the course.
