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.

Legit Golf Course
Every time I play this course I am reminded of how challenging it is. One becomes complacent in this area navigating courses that offer amateur-friendly wide open fairways with ample room to score par after a misguided drive. Hard to do that here. There are no two holes alike at Casperkill. No two greens alike. No two rounds alike. It plays long. It plays to sloped fairways. Sloped greens. There are creeks and moguls. Ponds and traps. And the tallest, widest trees you'll find anywhere. I find that if you wish to get better at shot making, shot shaping and scoring, this is the local course you need to play. I'm 70 years old and still learning this complicated game. And I know if I can score at Casperkill I can score anywhere. Take the challenge. It's worth it.
Good course
Got paired up with a guy and his girlfriend who was a beginner literally as we were about to tee off. Another twosome behind us they could have paired them with. That’s my only gripe. Carts are nice. Course is still in decent shape even with the time of year and drought we’ve been in. Like this course a lot
Better Options In Area
Casperkill has one good, actually great golf hole. It’s hole 11. Gorgeous golf hole.
All of the course needs tree removal, and tree trimming. Needs better identification of rough to fairway cut. Some tee box locations don’t make sense.
Better options - Apple Greens. Links At Union Vale.

The course was definitely challenging and the greens were true and in great shape. Staff was friendly and I look forward to my next visit.
