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

Good conditions for Fall play
I never seem to do well on this course, it’s more challenging then it seems. Course was in good condition and the leaves were well managed which is to say if you stayed on the fairway you could find your ball ( not so much if you hit an errand shot). Slow 4- some in front of us impacted pace of play but it was a nice day.

Always Great at the Gorge
Been playing here almost since the bunnies roamed the course. Always pretty decent conditions. Staff always friendly, considering post Covid stuff.
