The Millbrook Golf Club was founded in 1900 by six local residents who leased 60 acres of land. Two years later, that land plus another 8.5 acres, was purchased for $20,000 and the next year the Golf Club House was erected. In 1912 the first directory was published with about 24 regular members. Over the next few years two grass tennis courts and several clay courts were built. Then in 1927 H.H. Flagler gave the Club the pavilion he had built for the wedding of his daughter Elizabeth and it was re-erected as the main clubhouse and was called the Tennis House. By 1932 the present Pool House, known as the Locker House, and a pool given by Flagler completed the facilities enjoyed by 72 members. The club became known as the Millbrook Golf &Tennis Club in 1935.
Over the past 75 years the Club has undergone periodic additions and renovations but retains much of the original character. Today it is a family oriented club whose 270 members are all local residents in this beautiful area of the Hudson Valley, 90 miles north of Manhattan. The Club is seasonal, open from May through October. The challenging nine hole/eighteen tee golf course, six Har-Tru tennis counts and 25 yard swimming pool are enjoyed by all members and the Club runs an active Kids Club from June to August. Restaurant service on the porch and in the main dining room is available during the season with lunch served daily and dinner on Thursday, Friday and Sunday nights.
