Maidstone Club

Course-Used Pin Flag

        Offered here is an actual course-used pin flag from Maidstone Club. 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. The golf course was originally designed by William H. Tucker and is one of the first 100 golf courses in the United States.

        Willie Park, Jr. designed the 80-acre Gardiner Peninsula addition in 1922. 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.

        In 2011, the Maidstone Club was ranked 93rd in Golf Digest's list of America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses.

        Flags from Top 100 golf courses have exploded in popularity in recent years, and presented here is a very hard to find example.
