Kutsher' s Country Club -- Classic Catskills

[@schallrd1]

Good old days and greatest generation rolled into one. All truly missed.

I'll think of this place till the moments I pass on. Thank u

Mrs. Kutcher was one great lady. I had the pleasure of working beside her everyday. She was one of a kind!!

[@rg1whiteywins598]

Cool.

[@keithwarner6997]

Was there in 2005. It was great. Empty but off season. But wow. Kutchers

[@vcamnowaa]

it's a shame this place was torn down. I know several catskills resorts closed because they weren't modern enough to attract younger people however this place could have been something else. Kutsher's apartments or even better Kutsher's retirement community.

[@rg1whiteywins598]

Agreed.

Believe it or not, it was the decline in anti-Semitism that killed the Catskills. When the Catskills resorts were initially founded, it was to tap into the Jewish market due to the fact that normal hotel chains refused to serve Jews. When anti-Semitism died down, and Jews could travel to any hotel and resort in America, the region lost most of its business.

I stayed here back in 2003 when i was 18. Glad I got to go.

My good friend Mel Simons is in this video performing his comedy! Great place, I read it was scheduled to be torn down.

I remember Kutscher's. We went there every summer around August for the Cantor's convention. It was the off season, so no lines or crowds, but also no headline acts. I had a crush on Helen's daughter, Karen. I was 12, so she was a bit young for me, but we had fun. I really impressed her when I caught a milk snake out at the back patio by the tennis courts. Fun times. We went to the Concord the last time I was up there. It was fancier, but not as much fun for a kid my age.

[@rg1whiteywins598]

I would love to meet you and others who got to experience this culture.

During the 60s and 70s peoples travel and vacation habits changed. You were now able to fly to Las Vegas or Florida in almost the same time it took you to drive up to the Catskills. The introduction of air conditioning made staying home during the summer months much more bearable, allowing people to take shorter day or weekend trips to the Poconos or the NY or NJ shore. The tradition of spending the summers in the Catskills which was pasted on from generation to generation was suddenly broken, and never to be repaired.

Hi, I am really interested in this hotel and just the history of the Catskill's resorts in general. I would just like an honest answer to this question. How is Kutsher's today? I have read some terrible reviews but I want the truth, I can't imagine it is bad. please answer, thank you :)

[@KutWrite]

I saw another video showing it ready to be demolished.

Two reasons for ultimate failure: The redevelopment of Atlantic City as a resort destination, and the emergence of Indian gaming.

[@vivienleigh1097]

Could only Jewish people go to this hotel>..? stupid question but please answer :/

[@rg1whiteywins598]

I don't know, but I grew up around the Jewish culture, as did my father s family, so I understand it. But you may not have enjoyed yourself if that culture was very foreign to you. I doubt they would have kept you out though.

[@RogerBates7]

Not at all. The owners of the hotels had known persecution and Prejudice, their doors were open to all! I don't know about Kutshers, but some of grossinger's most famous guests included gentile famous people like Nelson Rockefeller, Yogi Berra, Jackie Robinson, Mickey mantle, etc. That said, what few resorts operate today mostly cater almost exclusively to the Hasidic community, I believe.
