Deal Golf & Country Club traces to 1898, when railroad financier and shipping magnate George Washington Young built a nine-hole course on land he purchased in West Deal, designed by Lawrence Van Etten. The club expanded through the early 1900s -- by 1903 it had roughly 600 members and was described as the busiest golf club in the country -- before financial difficulty in 1912 led to the sale of some course property to the neighboring Hollywood Golf Club. The club reorganized under its current name and hired Donald Ross for a redesign in 1915. Its clubhouse is cited as the oldest in continuous use in New Jersey.
Today the club operates as a private, family-oriented four-season country club in Deal, one of Monmouth County's most exclusive small oceanfront boroughs. This research session was not able to independently confirm the club's current initiation fee, membership invitation process, or exact current hole count from public sources -- these should be verified directly with the club by any buyer for whom Deal G&CC membership specifically matters.
Golf & Course
The original nine-hole Lawrence Van Etten layout was substantially reworked by Donald Ross in a 1915 redesign, following a 1912 sale of some course acreage to Hollywood Golf Club amid financial difficulty. Both Ross's design work and the club's status as home to New Jersey's oldest continuously-used clubhouse are its most notable golf-history credentials.
