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.

Maitenence

Maintenance was consistently a hole in front of us watering at an 8am tee time. They skipped holes making greens slower and way faster very uneven. On a par 3 a maintenance guy was water and didn’t give way to us.

Course Rangers

Needs rangers to speed up the play. We got stuck behind a Group of 6 that were not very good. We skipped a hole to get past them.

Hidden Gem!

Great place and great people. Would be nice if they had coffee and/or food available when we got there (~8:30AM) but I don't want to pick on them for that as everything else was superb. This is no doubt because like every business these days its tough to get people to work We will be back!

Good conditions considering the lack of rain we've had.

Ground crews were watering many parts of the courses. Tee boxes and greens were in excellent condition. Some of the fairways were a bit dry and others were being watered. Considering the lack rain the area has had I think the courses were in better condition than most would usually be. Staff was friendly and helpful. Beverage Cart visits were frequent and cart girl was very friendly too. Overall a great day on a great course.

Greens fast but holding, despite drought. Great job by maintenance staff. The starter, Mona, is very friendly and did an excellent job getting us out on time. Highly recommend.
