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.

Course is always in great condition. The two groups in front of us were a bit slow. We tend to play fast. Would of been nice to play through. There was no one in front of them.

The course is in pretty good shape, but the greens are somewhat slow. What detracted from the round was it was cart path only.

Great Round

Perfect pace, never held up. Played on a Friday. Course was mostly dry, but it was cart path only. Course has a nice layout and Greens and Fairways are fairly well maintained. Greens were a bit slow.

Wet weather

It is wet for mid April but there are some interesting holes

No starter and not much service for now. Course was still quite wet and there are some interesting holes. Number 2 and 3. Green on 4 is unfair and there some easy holes and the 7th is a great hole. Pretty forgiving golf course but still some fun to be had. Green fee includes some discounts on lunch in the clubhouse. Good local hangout

Great late season condition

1 PM Sunday prime time tee off. A weekend round in 3 1/2 hours! The greens and fairways were in great shape. Tee boxes understandably used heavily, but fine shape. Very enjoyable round. Appreciated that a marshal was on the course helping to keep things going at a good pace. Keep up the good work Casperkill!

Course in nice condition. Was a bit wet, tho we've seen a lot of rain of late. Was early in the day so barely anyone was out there. Starter was super nice. Cruised thru the course in 3.5 hrs (2 of us). Greens are a bit softer and slower than i'm used to, but with the slopes it made them quite challenging. Nice lay-out. You find yourself using most of your clubs. Only odd thing about the course is the par 3's are all basically the same distance. Wouldn't call that a negative tho. Def recommend!

Tom

Course good condition

Ranger asked that we speed up a little , the foursome in front of us weren’t even off the tee box .

It made my wife nervous that she needed to hurry up, when there was absolutely no need to.

That happened toward the end of the round so got over it.

Course has challenging slopes .

My wife and I enjoyed playing here.

Good course, did not honor the lunch

Course was in good shape and not overly wet. Greens were in very good shape. The course did not honor the lunch deal that came with the booking and stated they intend to not participate with Golf Now in the future.
