Dutchess Golf Club

About Dutchess Golf Club:

Founded in 1897, Dutchess is one of the oldest golf clubs in the United States. Generations of Poughkeepsie families have played golf and socialized at our historic club. Even President Franklin D. Roosevelt was once an esteemed member of Dutchess Golf Club.

At 6,475 yards from the back tees, this par 70 features traditionally narrow tree-lined fairways and noticeable elevation changes. Partnered with strategic bunkering and smaller, sloping greens, there is truly more than meets the eye on our core 18-hole layout. Its not hard, but it is not easy. In fact, it is just right for players of all abilities. A delightful practice facility that includes a driving range, chipping and putting greens, and teaching area is a favorite spot of members to practice. In 2013, all new mats, bag stands, and range balls were installed. It is a great place to practice, take a lesson, or unwind after a long day.

Today, after a few difficult years resulting from the economic downturn, Dutchess is under new ownership and is healthier than ever. We have made dramatic improvements to the clubhouse, golf course and driving range. We even have an entirely new membership program, one that you might not be able to resist.
