About this course

Wiltwyck Golf Club sits in Kingston, New York, in the Hudson Valley, approximately ninety miles north of New York City. The course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., who established his architectural practice in the region and maintained offices in nearby Montclair, New Jersey, for much of his career. Jones designed numerous courses throughout the Northeast during the mid-twentieth century, and Wiltwyck represents his work during a period when he was developing the design principles that would define American championship golf course architecture. The routing occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the Hudson Valley, with elevation changes that provide variety in shot-making demands and strategic options. Jones typically emphasized length, strategic bunkering, and large, contoured greens that required precision in approach play—hallmarks that appear in his designs from this era. The property's natural topography allows for a mix of uphill, downhill, and sidehill lies, testing different aspects of a golfer's game throughout the round. The club serves the Kingston community and the broader Mid-Hudson region. As a private facility, Wiltwyck functions as a traditional member club with a focus on golf and social activities typical of established Northeast clubs. The course provides a representative example of Robert Trent Jones Sr.'s regional work, offering golfers a chance to experience design concepts from an architect who would go on to shape championship golf course architecture across the United States and internationally.

Getting there

Most arrivals to Wiltwyck Golf Club route through Stewart International Airport in Newburgh, roughly thirty minutes south, though Albany International and the private facilities at Kingston-Ulster Airport offer alternative gateways depending on itinerary. The drive north along the Hudson Valley traces the river's western shore, where the Catskill Mountains rise in soft ridges to the west and historic river towns give way to quieter stretches of farmland and forest. As you turn inland toward Kingston, the road climbs gently into rolling terrain, the landscape opening to reveal the kind of elevated, wooded sanctuary where Wiltwyck has maintained its discreet presence since 1927 - a hidden enclave above the valley, known only to those who belong.
