founder Adolf Zukor in 1918, from Lawrence Abraham. Zukor expanded this estate, commissioning noted golf course architect A.W. Tillinghast to build an eighteen-hole golf course on the property, which opened in 1920.
Following the reorganization of Paramount Pictures in 1936, Zukor was not able to continue maintaining the Mountain View Farm estate as a private property, and so opened it for membership as the Mountain View Golf and Country Club. In 1948, he sold the property, which became the Dells Golf and Country Club and then Dellwood Country Club. In 2011 the club changed its name to Paramount Country Club, "a name which better reflects the rich history of the club."
The course was redesigned by William F. Mitchell in 1951 and Robert Trent Jones
in 1956. Starting in 2011, the course will be undergoing a renovation by Jim Urbina
