Links Club

The Links is a private club in New York City.

[1][2] Charles B. Macdonald, a golf champion and founder of the United States Golf Association, started the Links in 1917 as a place where powerful members of the golf world could keep the true spirit of the game alive.

The club was established in 1916–1917 by Charles B. Macdonald, in a building designed in the Georgian Revival architectural style by Cross & Cross.

[2][3] In the 1960s, it was "a preferred social gathering spot for America's most powerful chief executives.

"[4] By 2010, it was still a "preserve of the old banking elite", but not all members were WASPs.
