About this course

Beekman Golf Club sits in Hopewell Junction in Dutchess County, New York, part of the Hudson Valley region roughly midway between New York City and Albany. The club features two nine-hole layouts that can be combined in different configurations, with the Highland and Valley nines offering an alternate eighteen-hole routing to the primary combination. The course was designed by Cortlandt Fish, a regional architect active in the mid-twentieth century who worked primarily in the New York metropolitan area and surrounding counties. The Highland nine, as its name suggests, occupies higher ground with more elevation change and rolling terrain characteristic of the Hudson Valley's glacially shaped landscape. The Valley nine plays through lower-lying areas with gentler contours. Together, the two nines provide variety in both topography and shot requirements, moving through wooded corridors and more open stretches typical of courses built when land was less constrained. Beekman operates as a semi-private facility, offering both membership and daily-fee access. The club serves the local golfing community in northern Dutchess County, an area that has seen steady residential growth while maintaining its rural character. The region's golf season runs from spring through fall, with course conditions influenced by the Hudson Valley's four-season climate. The alternate routing allows the club to manage course maintenance and provide variety for regular players who cycle through different eighteen-hole combinations throughout the season.

Getting there

Most arrivals to Beekman Golf Club begin at New York Stewart International Airport, roughly thirty minutes north, though many members fly into Westchester County Airport for a slightly longer but equally serene drive through Dutchess County's rolling farmland. The route east from the Hudson Valley traces quiet two-lane roads that wind past stone walls and horse pastures, the landscape growing more secluded as you approach Hopewell Junction. Beekman reveals itself not with fanfare but with understated elegance—a private enclave tucked into the wooded hills, where the transition from public road to members-only sanctuary feels less like arrival than quiet admission.
