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.

Best bang for your buck!

Casperkill is often featured on golf now with great rates from time to time. Course is nicely layed out and well maintained. I am no scratch golfer so I find the course challenging but not too difficult. I look forward to another season of great deals on golf now!

Great course and well maintained.

Had a great time playing this course for the first time. It was recommended by someone when I played Sprain Lake earlier in the year. He was right, the course is very nice and well maintained. The price was great also. The only bad part of my day was that my group got stuck behind a very slow group of 5 for some reason, that was 2 groups ahead of ours, which was brought to the attention of course staff and finally things started to move along. Almost a 5 hour round because of that, but overall my feeling towards the course are positive. Oh and if you get there early they have some nice practice facilities. I can't wait to go back there soon.

A Good Find

Nice layout, very friendly staff, and a pretty well maintained course. On a windy day it can be challenging hitting to the elevated greens. I would definitely play there again.

Great Deal

Got an unbeatable deal through golfnow for a 2pm start. Course is in good condition for being so early in the season. Greens were plugged and fast but definitely challenging! Most fairways were soft and in good shape. Some tee boxes could use some work but that's a minor detail. Carts have GPS & scoring which is a great feature! I look forward to playing some more rounds here this season and definitely recommend!

Terrific course to play; challenging; good value

I always enjoy playing at Casperkill. The staff is very helpful and friendly and despite the rugged conditions at present due to the weather, the course is in reasonably good shape. It's a good value overall.

Great course... don't go in the evening...

Pace was horrendously slow to the point we wanted to leave after 9 holes took 3 hours. Other than that the course was very well kept, easy greens and nice lines.

A great old course that is still is very good condition.

I have played this course several times this year and have yet to be disappointed. Played mid-week in the afternoon at a discounted rate and must say it is a great value thru GolfNow.
Some holes are difficult; some are easy. Greens are in very good shape.

Very nice course

Played at Casperkill at around 3 on a Wednesday. Staff was friendly and accomodating. Had no trouble starting my round before my scheduled tee time and had no waits on any tees. Course was in good, not great, condition. Fairways were near perfect, but a couple greens needed a little care. Fun, challenging, well-designed course - some water holes and some par 4s that call for less than driver off the tee.
