SPOOK ROCK GOLF CLUB

The Hudson Valley's rolling terrain creates natural amphitheaters for several holes here, with elevation changes that demand precise club selection and reward players who can work the ball both ways. Robert Trent Jones Sr.'s routing takes full advantage of the rocky outcroppings and mature hardwoods, particularly on the dramatic downhill par-3 7th that plays over a stone-filled ravine. This daily-fee gem punches well above its weight class, offering conditions and strategic interest that rival many private clubs in the metropolitan area.
