History

The club was built in 1928 as part of developer Carl Fisher's plan for a resort on Long Island's eastern tip. Early members included the Astor, Whitney and Vanderbilt families, and Charles Lindbergh landed his seaplane on the lake as a guest. Fisher lost his fortune in the 1929 stock market crash and the project went into receivership in 1932.
