There are several theories as to how the name Century was chosen, including the possible intention to limit the membership to 100 and the establishment of the Club near the turn of the century.

The Club first occupied leased premises in the Throgs Neck section of New York City on a tract of about 60 acres fronting Long Island Sound, where the members had a nine-hole golf course laid out.In 1904, Century moved to a 100-acre site in Greenburgh, Westchester County. A clubhouse was built along with an 18-hole golf course and several tennis courts.

The membership, which numbered 115 at the end of 1898, grew to 200 in 1902 and reached the limit of 250 in 1906. In 1915, the limit on membership was raised to 300.After World War I, some of the members became dissatisfied with the design and size of the golf course. A committee studied the cost of making improvements or of moving to a new location. Walter J. Travis, former British Amateur and three-time U. S.

Amateur Champion, was hired as a consultant. Upon his recommendation in 1922, the Club purchased 175 acres of the George W. Fairchild property on Anderson Hill Road in Purchase, NY.Chef Position Specific: The Executive Sous Chef serves as the second-in-command for Century Country Club’s culinary operations, acting as a key strategic operational leader and direct successor to the Executive Chef.
