Few courses in American golf carry a resurrection story quite like Lido's. The original Lido Golf Club, designed by Charles Blair Macdonald and Seth Raynor and opened in 1914, was once considered among the greatest courses ever built — a dramatic links laid on dredged land along the South Shore of Long Island, celebrated for its bold, template-hole design philosophy. It was destroyed during World War II when the military commandeered the site, and for decades it existed only in photographs, scorecards, and the memories of those who had played it. The current Lido Golf Club occupies the same barrier island geography, though the legendary original layout is gone.
Lido Beach sits on a narrow strip of Atlantic-facing shoreline, exposed to ocean wind and the flat, sandy terrain that defines the South Shore. The area shares the coastal character of Jones Beach and the broader barrier island chain — open sky, salt air, and turf that plays firm and fast when conditions allow.
For anyone who knows the history, playing here carries a particular weight. You are standing on ground that once hosted what many architects and historians considered a masterpiece of early 20th-century design, and that context is impossible to entirely separate from the experience.
