The Lido was designed by Charles B. Macdonald, with contributions from other designers, and constructed in 1915.

Overseen by engineer Seth Raynor, construction required that "thousands of pounds of sand" be pumped out of the bay to reclaim what had been a marsh. The advantage was that "the exact contours required by the course architects" could be achieved. Turf bricks were cut from nearby property to lay the greens.

The course opened by the summer of 1917.
Unfortunately, its opening coincided with the United States' entry into World War I. During the summer of 1918, management was forced to lower the annual dues from $200 to $60 and make the course easier to attract more amateur players.

In 1942, during World War II, the United States Navy acquired the property and destroyed the course to construct a naval base.After the war, in 1953, a new course was built in nearby Lido Beach with a design by Robert Trent Jones.[6] While different from the original, the Trent Jones course features a replica of Macdonald's 4th hole.
