Mountain Creek Resort

First, the Quarry course was closed, due to water conditions, so everyone was pushed onto the other 2 courses, thus causing a backup. Second we had extremely slow players, a foursome, playing 2 balls each who would not move up their play or stop hitting multiples. 80% of the holes were cart path only adding to the slowness. It should never take 6 hours for a twosome to play 18..

After having heard some good reviews about the reopening of Great Gorge, I was interested in playing there again.

I was disappointed in the fact that over a 2 year shutdown, the course didn't seem to have much work done to make it better.

The tee boxes were worn and thin, the cart paths were suspect at best, the greens were very good though.

Price of $39 was good and fair for what was offered.

In defense of the conditions, the extremely wet fairways were nothing more than the horrendous amount of rain that everyone was experiencing this summer. I won't be going back for a long time to come.

I love Great Gorge. My favorite east coast course. Like walking into a painting.

Nice design. A lot of interesting holes. Elevation changes and shape of holes will hold your attention. Conditions are not pristine but good. Pace of play was very good. My threesome was not playing particularly well and we let faster players through. Even though it’s a 2 hr drive, we are looking forward to playing again.

Very hot and humid conditions, but course was in nice shape. Greens fast and true. Cart paths in bad shape. Staff was very friendly. Pete especially nice as starter.

Played the Rail/Quarry. First time playing since the club reopened. Course was in excellent shape, greens and fairways are well kept. Challenging holes, quick greens. Wish I could say the same for the bunkers - mostly stones, they need work. . Played Holiday morning, expected slow play but had a leisurely 4:15 round without holding anyone up or being pushed. At $51 the price can’t be beat for the course especially with the prices of the Crystal Springs courses. Worth the 50 minute drive.

Fantastic place for a day of golf. We'll worth the trip from NYC. 3 great nines with gorgeous views and wonderful staff. The greens were top level. Very true and fast. Only critiques were the tee boxes and fairways were pretty beat up. Definitely a challenging course. I'd recommend this place to anyone.

Not sure the 3* folks are reviewing the right course. The fairways, tee boxes, greens were all fantastic! A lot of the traps do need some work though, and the prices did go up a bit from last year. Still not as high as South Jersey!!! Views from this course are pretty amazing also. Cant wait to play again. Good job folks, now go fix the traps!

Live down the valley from Great Gorge, Have played there since the seventies. Currently the course is in the best shape I remember. Very accommodating staff. Have put a lot of work into course since reopen in 2017. Agreed the cart paths are horrendous but well worth the money for senior Monday through Friday.

I played quarry / rail this is truly a unique layout course was in exellent condition greens were particularly good condition but pin setups were tough. They are offering great value rounds my second time there this year and will be back

Good quality conditions on the tee boxes, fairways and greens. Rough was low and a non factor. The cart paths are horrible. Much of the course have the pavement paths and they are in terrible condition. Management needs to either repave these paths or make them all stone. Pace of play was great. Fix the cart paths and this place will be back to pristine condition all around.

We played the Quarry Course and the Lakeside Course on a very hot day (there are 3 nine-hole courses). One objection is that there are no drinking water facilities on the course itself - bring your own water. The Quarry Course fairways were browned out due to the very hot and dry weather, but the greens were in good condition. The Lakeside 9 was in better shape. The course layout on both was very good. Suitable for golfers at all levels of skill. The staff was very friendly. Great Gorge is, unfortunately, well

over an hour away from our home, but the plus side to that is that the course was not at all crowded and the pace of play was therefore very good.

I played here a few times a couple of years ago and I remember the course being in much better shape. Today, you could tell it was not very well maintained. Some greens were very fast, some were very slow. Yellow, dried out grass all over, some soft fairways, and many instances of “ground under repair” (clearly some construction still going on). In fact, 2 holes had the sprinklers on WHILE we were playing and we had to play around them! And it was around 9am, not that early...

Overall, a rather disappointing experience. Courses in that area are usually worth the drive all the way out there, and while Great Gorge had some scenic views, it wasn’t worth it. I’d say save your money (and gas, if you’re not local) and play a local, county course. Most likely it’ll be in the same (if not better) condition than Great Gorge.. Hope the construction ends soon and this place turns around. It has potential.

Fast greens, watch out for breaks. Grounds were firm, extra round. Lots of fun, play strategically.

Looks like they've been stingy on the maintenance. The fairways & rough are not in the best shape. Bunker sand is packed down & hard. At least the greens and the areas around the green are nice.

Good course. Superb staff, greens superb but very hilly. 3 putts common. No water - meaning drinking water - on course!

Great course and layout. Very friendly and welcoming staff fantastic value for money.... they even include free range balls with your round
