Otterkill at Otterkill Golf & Country Club

Otterkill Golf & Country Club sits in Campbell Hall, a small community in Orange County, New York, roughly sixty miles north of New York City in the Hudson Valley region. The course was designed by William F. Mitchell, a prolific architect who worked extensively throughout the northeastern United States during the mid-twentieth century, creating numerous layouts for private clubs and daily-fee facilities across New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.

The property occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the Hudson Valley, where natural elevation changes and mature tree growth shape the playing corridors. Mitchell's design philosophy typically emphasized strategic variety within the constraints of available land, incorporating doglegs, elevated greens, and approach shots that reward accurate iron play. Courses from this era in the region often feature tree-lined fairways that demand position off the tee and greens protected by traditional bunkering.

Otterkill operates as a private country club serving members from Orange County and surrounding areas. The club provides a traditional country club experience with golf as the central amenity, complemented by social and dining facilities typical of mid-century membership clubs in the region. The course serves as the home layout for members seeking regular play in a setting removed from the more densely developed areas closer to metropolitan New York, offering a quieter alternative within reasonable driving distance of the city.
