The history of Longview dates back to the 1800’s when it was first known as The Longview Black Jack Farm. In 1953 Mel Graham’ ... s father purchased the property in order to relocate the family dairy farm. In 2001, the dream of The Club at Longview was put into action. As Jack Nicklaus stood on this property, and looked at the gentle rolling hills with its pines and hardwoods, its creeks, ponds and nature preserves, he said, “It’s as if it was always meant to be the home of a great golf course.” Two years later, on October 20, 2003, The Club at Longview officially opened! The Club at Longview features the only gated residential golf course in the Charlotte region to earn a place in Golf Digest’s prestigious ‘Best in State’ rankings, where it has been a fixture among North Carolina’s top 20 ever since its 2003 opening. The Club at Longview offers manor-style luxury estates in the Charlotte-area’s only gated residential community with a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course. Longview offers an 18-hole Championship Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, an elaborate Clubhouse with over 30,000 square feet and several dining options, 4 tennis courts, two swimming pools with a kids pool and splash pad, a playground, and an expansive Activity Center that houses a dedicated Youth Lodge, full service fitness and aerobics program, massage therapy, and men and women’s locker rooms. read more
