Course Highlights
Casperkill's Robert Trent Jones design rewards shot-making with diverse holes, challenging par threes over water, and sloped fairways that keep every round unique. Pristine course conditions, friendly staff, and strong overall value make the trip well worth it.

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.

Golnow is getting worse

Paid online booking fee for the course plus an additional charge. Coutse calls me and tells me Golfnow made an error and the tee time was unavailable. Tried calling oland getting in touch with them via phone and or email and they make it impossible. I am still owed money and will not go away. Review not done yet. I book another course through Golfnow. We get there and they tell me Golfnow made an error and the tee time in unavailable. We drive an hour to play. The pro shop was nice enough to let us out. GOLFNOW.....YOU ARE HORRIBLE. GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER, BECOME CUSTOMWR FRIENDLY AND MOST OF ALL.....STOP BEING SO GREEDY AND ABOUT MONEY. CUSTOMER FIRST....REMEMBER??? Yes, I'm angry

Great course no matter your skill level

Played mid-afternoon on Fourth of July, nice course layout. Tee boxes could use a little attention but the greens and fairways were in good shape. It's a long course with lots of hills, would definitely recommend a cart on a hot day.

Great Layout

The course has a great layout but there greens are always slow. The course also gets soaked super easy and it seems like they have no drainage. One of my favorite layouts that is very gettable. If they could take care of this place the way McCann down the road does, they would have one of the nicest courses around. For how much you pay you are better off going down the road to play the municipal course.

Worth the 80 minute drive

All the courses in New Jersey are closed so We picked this one, 80 minutes from my house, based on reviews I have read and the fact that it was a Robert Trent Jones design course. Couldn’t have made a better decision! The staff was fantastic. The course was in great condition and we had just a beautiful great day during the corona time.

Old School

Old school layout by Trent Jr. Really really enjoyed this layout....shot making and not head banging length needed. Everything about it was enjoyable. The woman in the pro shop was extremely nice. Golf Now had me booked but she didnt have it on her computer. Showed her confirmation and she was able to get me out quickly.

No 2 holes look or played alike, My kind of track. Not overly punishing if you keep it on the planet.

Try it...you will like it
