    Description

    The 18-hole "IBM Golf Club" course at the Casperkill Golf Club facility in Poughkeepsie, New York features 6,690 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72. The course rating is 72.4 and it has a slope rating of 130 on Rye grass. Designed by Robert Trent Jones, ASGCA, the Casperkill golf course opened in 1944
    You see, before it was the
    Casperkill
    Golf Club, it was the
    IBM
    Country Club. In the 1960s to 1980s, IBM prided itself on being family-oriented. The company held annual family outing days, provided Christmas gifts and holiday parties for children of employees and provided a recreation facility for families to gather and spend their summer days.
    IBM employees in the Hudson Valley were automatically members of the IBM Country Club. This was a class-blind facility, not just for managers and executives. Every employee and their family members could use the facilities, free of charge.
    The IBM Country Club was where my kids learned to swim, and where my youngest first went off the diving board at age three (he always loved the water). It’s where my kids spent many weeks at summer camp – usually sports camp – while I was working, and where my son worked as a lifeguard in his teen years.
