Casperkill Golf Club
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.

Friendly staff and course in good condition ...
Good course, super-friendly pro shop staff and in good condition.
Always a pleasure at the old IBM course
Nice course good greens clean all arund usually a beverage cart around
Great Layout
This course is in the best condition that I have seen it. Very Enjoyable. They are redoing one green, but the temporary green is puttable and better then most temp greens!
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, great price
Course is in fine shape, completed game (2some) in approx. 4 hours and price was good.
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.
Challenge for all levels
This course has many elevated greens which make approach shot making more interesting. GPS on the carts great feature especially email scorecard. Would play here again.
beautiful course
The Course was in great condition for spring golf. It was challenging but not over the top. The staff was wonderful and friendly. I had a great day, and I look forward to playing there many times this this season!
well maintained course.
Especially well maintained green. Not difficult course and very generous rate.
Great
The course was being improved .they were doing a great job on the 3rd hole .It was difficult but fair.
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!
Great topography and course condition this early in the season.
The course blends beautifully into the Mid-Hudson Valley surroundings. Casperkill provides challanges for players of all levels. For me, every shot was a an adventure! And Fun. Thanks.
great bargain for the buck
Course was in great shape for early in season. Greens were aerated but playable. Very nice surprise-GPS in carts! Excellent value for $12
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.
