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.

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.
Great place to play
Course in great shape. Very enjoyable round. Weather perfect. Jennifer is the best! Great employees.
I'll be back!
Not bad if you don't expect much for 32 dollars
Used to be much better ...cheap golf and you are getting what you pay for

Everything was great, can’t wait to go back soon, bar and restaurant we’re close but they have a beverage and snack cart out.
Appreciative for a Quality Course
*Quality Course that provides a good challenge.
*Provides Pre-Round preparation, such as, chipping, putting and range.
*Very Good Course condition.
Hello, Bobby. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.
Can’t wait to go back
Decent course to walk, a couple of hilly holes but not too bad, everything was in great shape, can’t wait for the bar and restaurant to open,
Very friendly people working there, no complaints
Nice course when dry
This course is nice when it's dry but is easily soaked if it has rained in the last 2 days.
Bang for your buck
Challenging course. Greens still recovering from aeration. Another couple of weeks and the place will be mint.
Worth a trip
Wonderful layout, challenging holes, water in play, each club egts work to do. Only thing negative: No clubhouse.
No golf carts
Payed for 18 holes cart included but no golfs carts there. Ended up walking 18 carrying bag. Not fun.

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
A Challenging Walk
Played the course for the first time - - in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. A challenging course to play and walk for the first time - - and wet due to the recent rains. A good majority of the holes had either elevated greens and/or elevated tee boxes. A fun course to play and looking forward to playing it again under different conditions. I would recommend this course to any diehard golfer willing to walk this hilly terrain.
This golf course needs to call and let you guys know that you are not letting carts out the day they don't let carts out. Went to play here and was told no carts and that i need to call to get my money back. How many people have to do this rather than them just letting you know that they don't offer carts for the day

Wonderful and accommodating staff
The woman in the pro shop was very understanding and let me take a cart by myself. All staff are very pleasant on the phone and the course was in great condition, especially for this time of year. Its always nice to go to a golf course and the staff treat their customers so well.
