Casperkill Golf Club sits in the rolling countryside of the Hudson River Highlands in Dutchess County, just outside Poughkeepsie. The course dates to 1944 and was laid out by Robert Trent Jones, whose classic design philosophy shapes the round from start to finish.
The property makes full use of its hilly terrain, with elevated tees dropping to manicured fairways in the valleys below and terraced, well-bunkered greens. Quiet ponds, stands of old oaks and the winding Casperkill Creek come into play across the layout, giving each hole its own character.
