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

Playboy's special
Amazing greens great value very friendly staff several challenging holes...downside is there as lot of back and forth holes look forward to play railside
Great round of golf
Got off early and played fast. Fairways were in good condition and greens were generally good, but a little slow.
What a gem
Great gorge what a wonderful layout great character fast greens excellent conditions friendly staff , starter is wonderful great first tee shot off of Lake very challenging for all play levels recommended highly I drive an hour to play they're totally worth it Lake rail inquiry either nine hole golf course is a fabulous choice you will not be down Lake rail inquiry either nine hole golf course is a fabulous choice you will not be disappointed
Hot summer afternoon
It has been a few years to come back to play this course after the course closed for a few years before changing the ownership. The course condition is back to old good day in a very good condition. The green is always tricking to read.
It’s unfortunate
It’s unfortunate about the greens especially on quarry; lake is just a little better. Net net, tough course which is fine but the slant on the greens is completely ridiculous. They need to be redone. 3 greens we putt at the hole, uphill, ball stops and then rolls completely back down the hill off the greens. Many other greens you could not stop the ball near the hole. Just not reasonable. Won’t be back until fixed. It’s unfortunate as the design is nice and challenging
Conditions
The two nines we played Lake and quarry were in excellent condition great fairways and fast greens. The personnel we came in contact with clubhouse and carts were friendly and helpful. We will play again and recommend to our golfing friends
Great Gorge
New owners doing great job fixing the course up. Bought the senior deal. Great value. Price reduction this year is very fair.
Quarry to lakeside
We played quarry with no hold ups or delays. On about the 3rd hole of lakeside a foursome appeared out of no where in front of us and were very slow and appeared to be beginner golfers. There was no ranger apparent on the course and wished there would have been to help teach good course etiquette. Other than this the round was great and courses in good shape.
We played the Quarry and Lakes.
Both very pretty and fun to play.
Can't wait to go back.
Great course overall
Great cpurse overall. Can be a bit confusing for a first timer.
Quality Golf Experience
The tees, fairways and greens were all in good shape; the bunker and sand traps need work; the staff was very friendly and accommodating; the course has great scenery; the cart paths are paved and some need work; pace of play was good; ball cleaners on each hole; snack & beverage cart service, and shuttle service to and from parking are.This is a quality golf course that will test anyone's golf game.
Great shape
Need to speed up pace of play otherwise course was in great shape I will play it again
Great Gorge is back
Great Gorge is open and the course is in very good condition , played in 4:15 minutes , greens pefect , bunkers could use some help but overall very good conditions . Get out take the ride and enjoy
Good course for the money
It's a nice course and priced well. Many of the sand traps have stones in them and are poorly kept. But overall really enjoyed it
It is coming back , greens are in great condition
Course has great views and challangeing layout. Distances are not quite working correctly and needs better markers
Decent and worth the cost
Greens were in very good shape as was course. The layout is decent. Good value. The only
Major issue is the cart paths are so bumpy my bad back couldn’t take it
