Maidstone Club, Private country club in East Hampton, United States
The Maidstone Club is a private sports club on the Atlantic coast featuring a 27-hole golf course and multiple recreational facilities. It includes tennis courts, swimming pools, private beaches, and dining areas spread across extensive grounds.
The club was founded in 1891 as a small golf course and expanded to its present form following the 1938 hurricane. This development shaped the region's leisure culture and established it as an enduring community landmark.
The club serves as a gathering place for East Hampton's affluent residents and shapes the region's social life. Its membership reflects the long-standing social structures that define this coastal community.
The grounds are accessible to members and operate according to seasonal schedules that vary throughout the year. Visitors should inquire in advance as it is a private facility and access is limited to certain groups.
The golf course uses natural landscape features like marshes and sand dunes that make play along the Atlantic coast particularly challenging. This integration of coastal nature creates a playing experience that differs from typical courses.
