While Casperkill hasn’t hosted major championships, its pedigree is more tightly knit to its membership.

Getting there

The journey to Casperkill Country Club begins at either LaGuardia (LGA) or Newark (EWR), each roughly ninety minutes north by car through the suburban corridors of the lower Hudson Valley, or alternatively at Westchester County Airport (HPN) for a more direct approach just forty minutes south. The final leg traces the eastern bank of the Hudson River, where the landscape shifts from commuter towns into the rolling, wooded terrain that defines Dutchess County, before turning inland through quiet residential roads that lead to the club's manicured grounds in Poughkeepsie. This is a journey measured not in dramatic elevation or remote isolation, but in the gradual transition from metropolitan density to the serene, established comfort of the Hudson Valley's golfing heritage.
