About
Casperkill Golf Club in Poughkeepsie is situated in the heart of the Hudson River Highlands, surrounded by acres of lush, rolling countryside. The course wanders through stands of towering oak trees and circles a few tranquil ponds before moving along the banks of its namesake creek. The gently rolling hills provide the course with elevated tees and terraced greens. Robert Trent Jones designed the golf course in 1944. He created a traditional layout that fully utilizes all of the features of the scenic terrain. The course finishes with a player-friendly hole that offers a great opportunity for a birdie. There is a bunker in front of the green but if played smartly as a three-shot hole, golfers will be generously rewarded. In addition to the golf course, Casperkill also offers a driving range with multiple target greens and a large practice putting green with a chipping and bunker area.

Rediculous cart fees.
We booked thru Golf Now . Booking did not include carts. When we get to course to play we learn cart fees are 40 dollars. They suck you in with good price on round then when you get there that’s when they screw you over. To late by then!! horrible. !!!
Unsure if I would go back i enjoy the course and the lay out we started 20 mins behind schedule. The alarm in the cart kept sounding behind time and we waited on every shot a few times there were 3 groups on a hole. No ranger came out at all if they had a snack cart out there may have helped and bathrooms

What happened?
Casperkill was always a reliable public golf course. Not sure what happened over the off season.. The two boys in the pro shop are very unwelcoming and short worded. Course conditions are absolutely brutal. Un-repaired divot paradise, ball marks covering every green. Do not recommend at all for the money. I paid for my father and I, totaled to be $110 for this early in the season, what an absolute rip off. Course needs desperate attention ASAP.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the teams in charge so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting Casperkill Golf Club. We hope you'll give us another try in the future.
A gem in Poughkeepsie,NY
I like to call Casperkill the Augusta of Poughkeepsie,NY
Awesome staff.
I come from an hour away as much as possible for over 20 years..
Great condition
The course was beautifully maintained even for so late in the season. Greens were exceptionally fast even in wet conditions. Holes are laid out nicely such that errant balls rarely have the opportunity to land in another hole’s fairway.
Great design, lots of fun to play. Challenging but not a beat up if you play from the right tees. Good practice facilities, very nice staff. By far, my go to course in the area.
The price, pace, and course add up to a great value!
Casperkill is a hidden gem of a course. It's fairly priced at peak weekend times and a steal during the week or twilight. The course has a great mix of long and short holes and it's a fair test for mid to high handicappers from the white tees or better golfers from the blues. The greens are on the soft side, so approach shots hold even during droughts. The greens are rarely fast, but they have enough undulation to make them challenging, but never unfair.
There are several great holes on this course, with the Casperkill brook coming into play on many and towering oaks the main hazard on others. The 9th is the old bad hole on the golf course, it's routing was clearly a compromise to get the turn back near the clubhouse.
The facilities include a full length driving range, putting green and short game practice area.
The only cons at Casperkill are inconsistent sand, goose crap and the dark and uninviting 19th hole.
We appreciate you reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the experience you had when booking your round. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements and continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your review for guidance.
