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.

Wet soggy fairways

Some holes are very pretty while others with standing water (usually around the lake, feel like a local muni) I play this course about once a year and can be an extremely nice track if they invest in course conditions.

One employee ruined great rounding.

Last year I experienced very bad incident with woman starter. This year the same. Senior lady was nice but another one still showed the same. I learned from other golfers who said she is notorious.

Used to be well maintained

The tee box is like the worst municipal county course the green is decent the bunker is like cement with lots of ground under repairs. I wish a better management will take this course over to bring it back to its old glory!!! I always love the layout and the view but something should change

Always a good time

Course is always fun with a great layout and it is well maintained. Been playing here for a few years now. Father’s Day definitely had some lazy dads not fixing pitch marks but that’s on the players not the course. Will be back again and again and again.
