About this course
West Point Golf Course sits in the Hudson Highlands on the grounds of the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, New York, just off Route 9W between two of the academy's gates. The mountainous site produces dramatic elevation changes and views over the surrounding hills.
Architect Robert Trent Jones designed the course, and German prisoners of war held at West Point during World War II assisted with its construction; ballast sand from Liberty ships was used in building the greens. Each tee marker commemorates a period of U.S. military history, and the course is home to the Army West Point golf team.
The 18-hole course plays to a par of 70 at roughly 6,000 yards from the longest tees, with narrow, tree-lined corridors and small greens that reward accuracy over length. It is open to the public, with a new clubhouse completed in 2025.
