DO NOT host an event here. They cancelled our wedding reception 1 month before it was supposed to happen!!! The chef and events coordinator both quit unexpectedly just before our wedding, after months of us struggling to get in touch with them. (Second events coordinator to quit in 6 months). We booked the venue 10 months in advance. We loved the place, signed the contract, and got to planning. A few months, in as we tried to contact the events coordinator by phone and email, and no response for weeks. Finally we got in touch with the office who let us know he had been terminated suddenly. No one had notified us or given us a new person to contact. The second coordinator was even worse than the first. She’s a college student who worked 10 hours per week. She had never run events and was impossible to reach by email, call, text, anything. She was very immature and unreliable. We finally managed to come up for the food tasting and they served us the wrong dishes, not the ones we had wanted to sample.

Summer camp review only: Pros: I'd like to start off by saying the facilities are great. Plenty of courts, including indoor courts, large pool with a slide, playground and sandbox were also great. The kids had tennis lessons twice a day, one swim lesson and one free swim where they swim under supervision. Cons: The counselors are very young and very disengaged with the kids. There are a few who stand out (Layla and Billy being a few) but for the most part don't give off the energy that they want to be there at all. On a number of occasions, I have seen them scrolling on their phones when I come for pick up. My son also tells me they're on their phones quite often during the day. The art activity time was very basic. They would be handed out sheets of coloring paper and some markers and crayons and color on the floor. There were no tables set up indoors to accommodate activities, everything was done on the floor. Activities like making tie dye shirts consisted of my son picking three colors and the counselor doing the rest for him. Don't expect much outside tennis and swim. One very off putting but easily rectifiable issue I found was seeing the indoor facility where the kids woul

My son has been taking lessons here for just a few weeks and I already see a big improvement. What's even better, he come out of his lesson with Greg smiling and laughing. Best investment and I can't recommend Greg and PTC enough!

Very nice venue. Older historic home in the City of Poughkeepsie. Good flow, porch is inviting. Numerous uses from showers, office events, conferences, small weddings. You can do a lot with the space.

Went to a catered (non-tennis) event. Very nice place, parking lot could be bigger. Otherwise a nice place that seated a lot of people.
