COPAKE COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Craryville, NY, USA
Designed by Devereux Emmet

Copake Country Club sits in the rolling farmland of Columbia County in New York's Hudson Valley, roughly two hours north of New York City near the Massachusetts border. The course was designed by Devereux Emmet, the prolific early twentieth-century architect whose work includes numerous layouts across the Northeast. Emmet's designs typically feature strategic bunkering, natural routing that follows the land's contours, and an emphasis on playability for a range of skill levels.
The course occupies terrain characteristic of the region—gently rolling with mature tree lines framing fairways and views extending toward the Taconic and Berkshire ranges. Emmet's routing takes advantage of the property's natural movement, creating holes that require thoughtful club selection and course management rather than overwhelming length. The layout reflects the golden age sensibility of its era, with greens that reward accurate approach play and hazards positioned to challenge poor shots while allowing recovery for skilled players.
Copake Country Club functions as a traditional member-owned facility serving the local community and seasonal residents drawn to the Hudson Valley and southern Berkshires. The club maintains the relaxed, unpretentious character common to rural country clubs in the region, where golf is central but the pace and atmosphere remain informal. The course provides a straightforward test of golf in a pastoral setting, preserving the design principles Emmet employed throughout his career.
