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.

One of the Best in the Hudson Valley
Excellent facility with interesting holes on a hilly terrain. Course in excellent condition and the staff is accommodating and friendly.
Course in great shape four hour round. Super hot day would be nice if there was water on course
Nice course but walkers slow pace of play
We were paired with two nice men who walked. We had a cart and waited a lot to hit and for the walkers to reach the green. We were two holes behind by the end of the round. The course should only pair walkers with other walkers.
Good value and nice course
Overall it was an excellent experience. The course is challenging in places but the women get a nice break from the red tees. The uphill holes are the most challenging. Practice facility is ok. It is off mats. There is a chipping and putting area.
Pace of play decent but the walkers can slow things down sometimes.
Would play again
A very nice public course with good pace of play and friendly starter.
Good has some challenging holes but the women’s tees are at least 20 yards shorter than the whites and significantly shorter on the par 5s.
Nice course with some quirky holes
This is a challenging course in that it is hilly and there are some long holes for women. The course was in excellent shape and I would play again.
Nice course
This course is always in good shape. Only issue was that the starter was behind the counter and really had no idea about Golf Now. Luckily I play there a lot and he let us out. If it was my first time there it may have been an issue. We got right out without to much waiting and had a pleasant time.
Nice course but not worth $80 to play.
No two holes are the same! I found the course interesting and challenging. Not sure how this course justifies $80 to play though. We played early on the weekend, so I expected to pay more than usual but this seems wrong.... Greens fees are simply too much for the quality of play. Excellent practice area,
Cart Fees
Everything about this course is great,but when you get there you find out there's a $20 cart fee for each person. I've used this web site for quite a few years and never came across this before. So you think you're getting a bargain but you're not. Just sell the full fee with no strings attached and everything is good
