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.

Great

Course is in terrific shape for February. Greens punched 2-3 weeks ago so sand and bumps are present but not bad at all. Bare foliage makes it easier to find balls that otherwise would be long gone. Only issue was slight delay teeing off bc too many carts were given out in the AM. I’ll be back this winter.

Lake/Rail in January

I was pleasantly surprised at the condition of the Lake & Rail 9's. Of course it was moist, but overall in Very good shape. The Greens rolled true & were pretty quick. Even though it was Cart Path Only, some players were OFF the path on numerous occasions. A shame that in January golfers knowing we just stole a day out, couldn't honor the requests of the Facility. for CPO. It was a great day to be outside instead of being hunkered down indoors..

A great day to be playing & the cost was fair & reasonable for January 2023
