The Mantoloking Golf Club was started in 1890 for outdoor sports and social activities for summer residents and their guests. A red ball was used on the nine-hole course over the dunes.
In 1900 the Mantoloking Golf and Yacht Club was built at Downer and Bay Avenues. The basin, where children learned to sail, was to the east of the clubhouse where the tennis courts are today. In 1907 the name was changed to the Mantoloking Yacht Club.
