Trump National Hudson Valley Course
Trump National Golf Club - Hudson Valley


About this course
Trump National Hudson Valley occupies rolling terrain in Dutchess County, roughly seventy miles north of New York City. Designed by Eric Bergstol and opened in the early 2000s, the course was developed on a former estate property and features significant elevation changes throughout its routing. The layout takes advantage of natural ridgelines and valleys, with several holes offering views across the Hudson Valley toward distant mountain ranges. Water features, including ponds and streams, come into play on multiple holes. The course measures over 7,000 yards from the championship tees and presents a variety of strategic challenges across its par-72 design. Bergstol's routing incorporates dramatic elevation shifts, particularly on holes that play uphill or downhill along the property's contours. The finishing stretch includes holes that navigate around water and require precise approach shots to well-protected greens. Conditioning standards are typically high, with bent grass fairways and greens maintained to tournament-level specifications. The club operates as a private facility and includes a clubhouse with dining amenities positioned to overlook the course and surrounding landscape. The property reflects the broader Trump golf portfolio's emphasis on visual presentation and course conditioning. While not a major championship venue, the course has hosted regional amateur events and serves as a notable private club option in the lower Hudson Valley region, drawing membership from both local residents and the New York metropolitan area.

Getting there
Trump National Golf Club - Hudson Valley is most readily accessed via Stewart International Airport (SWF), located roughly 25 minutes south in Newburgh, or via the major New York area hubs of LaGuardia (LGA) and Newark (EWR), each approximately 90 minutes away by car. For those arriving by private aviation, the Hudson Valley's proximity to several regional airstrips offers a more discreet approach, with Dutchess County Airport (POU) just 20 minutes north providing a seamless alternative to commercial terminals. The drive from any arrival point traces a graceful arc through the rolling terrain of the mid-Hudson region, where the landscape gradually transitions from suburban sprawl to the verdant estates and river-valley vistas that define this corner of Westchester County. The final miles wind through tree-lined approaches that signal arrival at the club's commanding hilltop setting, where views of the Hudson River and Catskill Mountains frame the entrance to this private sanctuary.
