Police determined that while playing a round of golf at the Red Hook Golf Course the pair intentionally caused damage to the carts, property, and course belonging to the Red Hook Golf Club.
The golf club is an 18-hole semi-private championship course. It was established in 1930, featuring a player-friendly layout, comprehensive practice facilities, and highly regarded public dining.
It's widely honored as one of the premier courses in the Hudson Valley region and recognized as a "true test of a golfer's ability" by hosting major competitive events including the New York State Men's Amateur Championship; the Dutchess County Men's and Women's Amateur Championships; and the Dutchess County Men's and Women's Senior Amateur Championship.
$7,000 Worth of Damage
The estimated cost for repairs totaled over $7,000, the Red Hook Police Department told Hudson Valley Post.
The course remains open. Despite the $7,000 worth of damage, it did not force the club to close down its operations.
