In 1887, the property known today as Bayside Fields was acquired by a family-run real estate group, Cord-Meyer Development Company. Over the next two decades, Cord-Meyer played a significant role in the development of Queens by laying out streets, introducing utilities, and building a dense grid of single family homes. In early 1931, the Bayside Golf Corporation was formed to serve what was by then a flourishing middle-class community. By March, construction on the Bayside Golf Club was well underway.
