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.

3️⃣ beautiful 9️⃣S

Played here several times over the past couple of years and it is never a mess. The course is always in very good shape. Greens are in excellent shape a challenge for all levels. I do recommend you playing from the tea boxes that you can handle. Don’t kid yourself and think you could hit from the green or the blue tease Unless you got a good game picturesque vistas of the beautiful mountain next to you wildlife abundant on the golf course seen many bears tea boxes today were a little beat up on the whites and the greens. I noticed when I was hitting from the blue so it didn’t really matter to me. Greens are in great shape running very fast and true thank you to the staff. They’re always a wonderful welcome from the starter to the lovely young lady upstairs and the beverage girl. Thanks again a wonderful tractor to play enjoy hit them straight.

Good but can be better..

Overall, experience was good. The greens are in excellent conditions which is what you are paying for. 27 holes and played rail and lake course. 18 holes for 100 with cart which is good value. Layout makes walking challenging. However quarry course needs work. Bunkers lacked sand. Some tee boxes were just not good in terms of locations and conditions. Also replay rate was bit expensive. Replay 9 hole was 60 bks when 18 was 100. Bit mispriced in my opinion. Overall friendly staff.

Course is nice; burgers and hot dogs overpriced.

Nice course, worth the $52.50 that I paid. Rack rate of $70. is a bit steep.

Awful time management

They have three nines yet seemingly sent everyone off the same two. We were a foursome behind 4 gentleman who seemed to be regulars which is probably why they didn’t seem to have any rush to hit. We constantly waited on tee boxes for them to hit multiple shots to be out of our range. No reason they should’ve been playing the white tees or spending 7 minutes looking for balls in the woods you can’t even walk in to. Never a ranger on the course. Took 4 hours to play 14 holes when my buddy and I decided we had enough. Conditions were very good, greens in great shape. Played here several times always something to take away from what should be a nice place to play. Also would’ve been nice to know the range isn’t open before booking.

Excellent conditions, exciting course.

The layout of the course is very exciting, with a lot of dramatic views in a scenic setting. The conditions were perfect with excellent fairways and fast greens. It is a great play for the money we paid (it was a Friday morning tee time)..We will come back here.

Very much enjoyed the course except for the parking.

We couldn't drive out of the space due to double-parked cars in front and rear.
