About Meadow Brook Club

Founded in 1881 as a Hunt Club, Meadow Brook Club (MBC) has deep historical roots and a strong tradition of excellence. The original 9-hole course was completed in 1894, and in 1905, renowned golden-age architect Devereux Emmet redesigned and expanded the course to 18 holes. In 1953, the Club relocated to its current site in Jericho, NY, where acclaimed architect L.S. "Dick" Wilson designed the modern 18-hole layout.

Today, Meadow Brook Club stands as a premier, golf-centric private club with a membership that takes immense pride in the course’s conditioning, culture, and storied history. This season, Meadow Brook will proudly host the 110th Metropolitan Open Championship.
