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.

Great scenery

Not only is the course fun to play and well maintained, the views are amazing. The cats are clean. The greens are fast, fairways well kept. Even the concessions are fast and priced well.

Seen better days.

I've played this coarse several times over the years, but its current condition is mediocre at best. The cart paths are in horrible shape as it was a roller coaster ride throughout. The carts themselves are really old and dated. The rough was uneven and slightly overgrown which made finding balls a challenge all day. Being within a crumbling and deteriorated abandoned hotel complex make's the visual unappealing. For a $60 round in a pinch, I'd begrudgingly consider it one more time but for $97 I won't return.

Unorganized and overcrowded

Worst 10 holes in my life. Took me and my brother 4.5 hours to get through 10 holes because we were constantly waiting on people. We had to leave after the 10th hole because it wasn't worth staying at that point. The staff were extremely unorganized not know where to send golfers due to having 3 sperate 9 hole courses. I was supposed to be refunded, but the staff did not follow through. Its a shame how mismanaged this course was. I never write reviews, but had to express myself this time. I will never being going back.

Although there are marks of aeration, it was good compared to the price I bought at Golf Now.

Golf Play

Like the electric golf carts. No ball washers, club cleaners, and no ability to bring a personal ball and club cleaner on course. Need more porta-johns per course, water coolers would be appreciated as there were no service carts for drinks, food, etc. Range Marshalls would be greatly appreciated. Finally, members need to be educated on USGA rules of golf, as well as, a course in manners.

Great course with 27 holes!

Great Gorge is a great golf course located in Sussex County , NJ. I never get tired of playing here, nice layout with 3 different 9 ‘s. The scenery is beautiful, course conditions are always great, with challenging greens! The staff is always very friendly and accommodating, Wish I lived closer, but will always continue to play here for obvious reasons!

Disorganized shambles

I had a 230 tee time. At 315 I grew tired of waiting for a cart and left. The issues were caused earlier in the day because of slow play. It wasn’t handled, and by the time I was due to tee off, I was hearing rounds were taking 5+ hours. Once the round started. The starters I was dealing with were very nice, apologetic, and professional. But there gooses was cooked earlier. It was bitterly disappointing.
Oh, and we all know the demographic of the slow players. Go ahead, cancel me.
Yet I’m sure you all agree.
