The club originated as the Meadow Brook Hunt Club, established in 1881, with an original nine-hole golf course built in 1894. In 1895 the first national women's golf tournament was held at Meadow Brook, won by Lucy Barnes with 132 strokes for the eighteen-hole match. The original course was requisitioned by Robert Moses for the Meadowbrook State Parkway extension in 1954, requiring the club to relocate to its current Jericho location.
