The Maidstone Club is a private country club on the Atlantic Ocean in the village of East Hampton, New York.
In addition to a private beach, pool, tennis house, and club house, Maidstone has both an 18-hole and 9-hole private golf course.
The Club derives its name from the original name for East Hampton, which was Maidstone, named after Maidstone in England. It was founded as a nine hole course in 1891 and expanded to eighteen holes in 1899.[1] The golf course was originally designed by William H. Tucker and is one of the first 100 golf courses in the United States.[2]
Willie Park, Jr.[3] designed the 80-acre (320,000 m2) Gardiner Peninsula addition in 1922.[4] The expansion resulted in the club having two 18-hole courses, but this was reduced to the current 27-hole layout by the Hurricane of 1938.[1]
In 2011, the Maidstone Club was ranked 93rd in Golf Digest's list of America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses.[5]
