2027 Golf Operations Internship at The Lido

About The Lido

The Lido Golf Club, designed by C.B. Macdonald, opened on Long Island in 1914 and featured many classic templates, including the Alps, Redan, and Eden. At the time, it was considered a masterpiece, rivaling Pine Valley and National Golf Links. Unfortunately, the course was demolished during World War II when the U.S. Navy acquired the property in 1942. Since its disappearance, the original Lido has remained a legendary lost course, captivating golf enthusiasts with its mystique.Eight decades later, Michael and Chris Keiser resurrected the original routing adjacent to Sand Valley. The scale of the course, the depth of its hazards, and the size of the greens, which average over 12,000 square feet, is dazzling. Representing the great template holes once again, from the Alps to the Redan, make this course a strategic marvel.
