Thinking About Living in Maidstone Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Maidstone Club and the surrounding The Hamptons (East End) golf market.
Maidstone Club, founded in 1891 in East Hampton, is regularly cited as one of the five most exclusive private clubs in the Hamptons. Unlike the golf-only Shinnecock/NGLA pair, Maidstone combines its golf course with extensive tennis, beach, and social facilities, making it a genuine year-round social anchor for East Hampton's oldest-money residential streets. Its real estate relevance is best described as sustained prestige/proximity demand -- club sourcing explicitly frames continued proximity to Maidstone as a major draw for long-time Hamptons homeowners -- rather than a purpose-built bundled development.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Membership requires sponsorship by existing members, committee review, and is understood to favor long-standing family and social ties to the East Hampton summer community as much as financial capacity. There is no homeowner-automatic or purchase-linked membership pathway.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Beyond golf, Maidstone's amenities include tennis courts, an oceanfront beach club, swimming, and dining -- a broader social-club model than the golf-only Shinnecock/NGLA pattern nearby.
Location & Surrounding Area
Sited within East Hampton village on some of its most prestigious residential streets, near the ocean.
