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.

Good Course with Reservations

Recommend this course with reservation. Fairways and greens were in good shape. Cart paths need much work and score cards need to be updated. Directory signs need improvement

Great layout, poor conditions

Love the layout but unfixed ball marks in every green and some sand traps that haven’t been fixed in years was very unfortunate for $95 Monday morning tee time.

Hot summer day with thunder storm followed up

We had a terrific round in the over 90 degree weather before hitting the wall with slow foursome in front of us. We had to run after finish 16 holes when severe thunder strom touch down in the area. It is still a good round of golf.

Nice course

The course was well-kept. The cart paths could be smoother, but I prefer that the attention is on the courses. The views are beautiful

Fun!

This was a challenging course with beautiful surroundings. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The bar wasn’t open but we grabbed a canned beverage after our round and enjoyed the covered patio anyway. Good deal.

Great Gorge - Not A Bad Value

Course was well manicured. We showed up at 6:30am for our 7am tee time. However course staff showed up at 7:15am which led to initial confusion as there were multiple people awaiting multiple tee times by the time the staff arrived. In addition, members arrived without a tee time and were given golf carts before anyone who had a tee time. Then tee time after mine received their golf carts before me and were allowed to tee off before me. Needless to say it was cluster and mess to start but course itself was well manicured. However the sour taste left by the start of my round will have me think twice before booking this course again.
