THE BEGINNING

On April 16, 1915, St. George’s “founding father,” Devereux Emmet, convened a meeting of ten wealthy gentlemen in NYC to consider the acquisition of property for a golf course. It was agreed that a course should be built in the links style. Thereafter, Emmet conducted a study of various parcels of property

and determined the present site, approximately three miles from his sprawling estate, would allow for the design of a superior golf course. 140 acres of land were purchased at $300 per acre. Emmet then designed and oversaw the building of St. George's. He charged no fee for his services. Emmet was the Green Chairman for the first ten years and Club Champion three times. As profiled in Golf Club Atlas, Ran Morrissett wrote "This was going to be his (Emmet's) course for his friends & relatives and he spent his time getting it right. St. George's defining characteristic is startlingly unique holes on American soil."
