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 day out
In short beautiful views course could use some TLC on the cart path, but the view made up for it. Well kept enough for the money. It is a shame the area has such run down appearance but once you are out the course that goes a away and you get some good view especially with the turning leaves.

No dirction
This place is huge. When you first enter the area, there was no sign leading you up to the pro shop, yet several ways to travel. The same thing happened on the course, no sign for the next tee.
