Mountain Creek Resort

I had not played Great Gorge before, and all I really knew about it was that it used to be a Playboy club resort and that it was owned by Crystal Springs. So I was shocked to see the ghost town hotel with grass growing in the parking lot and trees sprouting in the tennis courts. The course wasn't much better. Most of the greens were nicely kept, but the fairways were shaggy. The fescue rough was often 6 inches deep. The entire course is lined by a thick, ugly overgrown tangle of weeds. On some fairways these weeds are growing through boarded-up, abandoned houses. Water hazards are more ooze than liquid. The bunkers are shallow and hard-packed. The cart paths, once asphalt, have disintegrated to rubble and ruts in so many places that it was hazardous to obey the cart path/90 degree rules.
A shame really. The course looks like it may have once been fun, but it has suffered serious neglect, and current conditioning seemed haphazard at best. I couldn't decide if Crystal Springs had decided to let the place go, or if it is really early in an attempt to rescue it.

If you diecide to go, do not think about walking; elevation changes are over a hundred feet on at least 4 holes, and the distances from greens to tees are frequently formidable.

This course shouldn't be part of crystal springs. It's terrible all around.

Sad that it has seen better days. The first 13 holes moved well. I was not sure why the last 5 were so painful?0

First time at GG was so worth the 130 drive from Staten Island wish we stayed over to enjoy the facilities more and of course more golf the following day..We went on a hot deal from golf now. Im a beginner so i found it challenging my friend shot a 83 and loved the rail/lake course.So make the trip it is so worth it and the playboy club feeling is a cool vibe

Great price on golf now. . The course is in pretty good shape. .. Some elevated tee boxes some water and some long shots makes this course worth trying. .. Just don't think your at the wrong place when you get there.. It looks abandoned out front.

4 of us had a great time at great gorge on 8/3. Pace of play was fine. course was in pretty good shape for a round in early august especially with the challenges of the crazy weather we have had this year int he Northeast.It is still very depressing to drive into the facility. something realyy needs to be done witht he eyesore that you have to park near. This is holding this back from becoming a favorite golfing destination for me.

As I pulled into the old parking lot, I was a bit disappointed thinking of how much better this place could be if it goes through some renovations. However, as I went up the hill to sign in, I realized that the golf course itself is beautiful and maintained well and the staffing around the course was managed just fine. The starter and the ranger as well as all other employees were all doing their jobs and seem to be quite organized in what they do. Further, I appreciate the promotion rate and would certainly go back there as long as they keep the promotion going. With the promotion, paying around $50(cart included) is very reasonable compare to the good quality of course and the friendly staff. To sum it up, I indeed enjoyed a nice round of golf on a beautiful Friday afternoon there.

Course in pretty good shape. Undulating greens make putting tough when in those positions on green. Only complaint is the cart paths, really beat up, towel came unhooked twice, found 2 other golfer's items, beer kept spilling out from can while riding on their paths.

Most greens were hard and many times your shot would roll to the back of the green or off the green. This made your approach shots more challenging.

i liked the course and i played bad, it is a very interesting golf course wich i intend to play many times

Very good course and in very good condition.
My only beef is the stones in the bunkers.
Eliminate those and you have a really nice course!

Overall, the course was in good shape. Fairways, Greens were great. Some areas had the rough too high around the greens. But for the price, it's a good value.

A good challenge and an exceptionally friendly and professional staff. The food and beverages were plentiful and delicious.

Didn't know what to expect, place looks likes ghost town as you drive in. Played the lakes/quarry courses, conditions were fantastic. Pace of play was a little slow but not terrible. Food was good but a little pricey. Would definitely be back.

Great course but a tad bit unfair to women. Greens were in great shape as well as the fairways. Staff is always pleasant and helpful.

you can tell they need more money the bunkers have rocks that are big not raked out. the grass is not trimmed around bunkers. the rest of the course greens and fairways are in good shape and that is the most important thing. the cart paths are in need of repair badly!!!! GO SLOW ON THEM. I have played there other courses and found cart paths good. but to be fair they had a hard winter.

Golf management is the key here. Keep your tee shots in the fairway. The rough is very unforgiving.
Beautiful views of the mountains and ski slopes in Vernon valley.

One of the best looking courses I've played. I enjoyed the layout and the layout was decent. The only thing that bothered me was the price of the range balls. I'm paying close to $100 to play the course and they have the nerve to charge $10 for 30 range balls! Absolute ripoff. I won't be doing that again but otherwise I plan to go back to the course.

Great value and a pleasure to play. Condition of course was very good, quite well maintained.

One of my favorite things about this course is that it is not a cookie cutter course where a lot of the holes look like a previous hole. Only real drawbacks were the sand traps. They were as hard as dirt and several times saw balls bounce in and then bounce out with ease and distance.
