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

Unexplained Quirkiness
Check in layout and process has many quirks…from having to park a considerable walk from the clubhouse and bag drop. There is a closer parking lot that is just come first serve but isn’t clearly marked (looks like employee parking). You can’t get a key to the cart until right before you tee off, with no explanation…so you have to grab a few clubs and walk over to the driving range, where there are no options for teeing up shots. Just too many weird quirks that are missing signage and explanation for first timers. And the 3 9-hole courses are mix matched for your round of 18 and signage between some holes and between the 9’s can be a guessing game.
Wonderful golf course
It's an excellent golf course.
All staff are pleasant and significant assistance to players
You can also enjoy the fall scenery.
It is wonderful.
Scenic Challenging Course, Slow Pace of Play and Conditions could be better
Very scenic course and friendly staff. Pace of play was poor and aside from all the water on the course the tee boxes were in bad shape and fairways were okay. Hit the practice green first instead of the driving range since the greens are lightning fast.
Slowest round
Took well over five and a half hours to play 18!!..no ranger around to speed up play…bad course management
Burgers were good tho
Course was horrible because the amount of rain that we got this week. But if there’s a lake in almost every hole why charge almost $100 dollars.
Great value
We had a great time golfing at great Gorge. We played the quarry and rail course. There are three 9hole courses here. Everything was great. Courses in great shape there’s definitely some holes where if it’s wet, the water would definitely pool up and make certain areas unplayable but for us today it was great. The food at Hef’s hut was very good and the cart girls were fully stocked.
Greens are in Phenomenal shape!!
I was truly a regular at Great Gorge when it was apart of Crystal Springs. I play in a weekly league and would probably play 3 other times weekly as well. With the 3 9-hole options you can always get a different feel for the course. My point, back then the greens were always in rough shape, today was the 1st time back since new ownership took over. I must say I have never seen those greens , the entire course for that matter look so good. Bravo to the ground crew and new management. The course is still very wet all over the place, but even with that the place looks and plays great.
Good value
Course is in very good condition overall. Cart paths a little rough, but with golf now prices, place is a steal.
Great course!
All are great except missing yardage on the cart… thank you
Avoid Quarry course
Horrible layout, blind holes, course condition poor
