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

Great Course
First time I played there. I played the Rail Course to the Quarry Course, a little confusing to go from the 1st hole to the 2nd, could use better signage, but other than that I will go back.
Great to be back
I don’t think I’ve played here in 10 or 12 years don’t know why . I think it may have been closed for a while but can’t wait to get back.Three nines great holes beautiful views can’t say enough about it so I will not . Maybe a Hidden gem are maybe I just forgot.
Very Friendly staff . . Course was in great shape. Greens were hard and rolled well. Great pace of play. Finished 18 holes in 2:45 with zero waiting.
A New Favorite
I played this course for the first time (quarry/rail) and loved it. The course is in great shape with a nice variety of holes and elevation changes. There are a couple of blind shots but that was part of the challenge. With COVID 19 rules allowing only 2-somes, it felt like playing a private country club. I forgot to mention the great scenery.
Great Day in The Country
This is one of the most beautiful areas in the Northeast. Having 3 nine hole courses with different "personalities" makes it very interesting to say the least. The staff is very friendly. I always enjoy the round no matter how good or bad I play. The views are great as well. Sorry that I have to wait until April to play again. I just wish they were closer to my home.
Great Condition/Value
Got a teatime for 2 On a hot deal for under $30 each. The course was in excellent condition for early November and was truly scenic and lush. Layout was very nice and course played somewhat difficult but fair
Very NIce Experience
Staff was friendly. Course was in excellent shape especially in beginning of November. Fairways, tee boxes and greens all plush and in great shape. Greens especially fast. Got Hot Deal for $29 - worth every penny - even at regular price. Will definitely go back...
Good conditions
Course in great shape for this time of year. Despite recent rain there were very little wet areas. Greens recently aerated and fast. Only complaints are bunkers need better sand and cart paths are deteriorating.
My experience at Great Gorge
Love playing in this course. The scenery is breath taking almost on all tee off. I absolutely recommend this course.
Pace of play
Having played great gorge several times this summer pace of play has improved greatly course is in great shape all summer. Will play it again before the season ends
Course is back in great shape
Had played this course before and it was not in great shape. They have done a great changing that around. There are the usual wet holes but that is expected due to the location and not enough sun exposures. All in all it was great
Greens
Greens are fast and in great condition. Played Rail and Lake. Friendly staff and good food. A must play!!
A Friendly Place
Everything you could want in a public course and all the people were so nice and helpful. I will definitely return. Hope they can blow the leaves away when they start falling. Some very beautiful views.
