The Club at Longview

"The Club at Longview in Waxhaw, NC was the vision of real estate developer Mel Graham. The property’s history dates back to the 1800s when it was first known as The Longview Black Jack Farm. In 1953, Graham's father acquired a small piece of the property as an annex of the Graham Dairy Farm. Many years later, whenever a piece of land adjacent to what his father owned became available, Mel purchased it. Eventually, he had amassed over 1,000 acres. Fast forward to 2001. Mel’s vision for The Club at Longview is put in motion. When world-renowned golf course designer Jack Nicklaus paid a visit, he studied the gently rolling hills with its pines and hardwoods, creeks, ponds, and nature preserves. He told Mel Graham that this land was always meant to be the home of a great golf course. Two years later, on October 20, 2003, their visions came to fruition and The Club at Longview officially opened! The Rev. Billy Graham performed the dedication service alongside his nephew Mel and Mr. Nicklaus.The golf course features several tree-lined fairways, an abundance of water hazards, rolling hills, and subtle elevation changes that will have you thinking about club selection. There are no tee times at Longview, playing a round of golf is as simple as showing up with your clubs. In addition to 18 holes of Jack Nicklaus Signature golf, there’s a generous practice area located near the Clubhouse that features a full-length driving range, three separate putting and chipping surfaces, and on-site professional instruction. There’s talk of turning one of the out-buildings adjacent to the driving range into an indoor club-fitting studio complete with a Trackman simulator. Longview provides its golf members with everything they need to enhance and develop their game. Lessons are available from Longview’s staff of golf professionals for all Members regardless of skill level and can take place on either the practice areas or the golf course. They can also help with one-on-one golf club fittings for any club in your bag. One of Longview’s most popular amenities is the pool. It’s not uncommon to see families enjoying the family pool with water fountains and sprays, an infant pool, and a toddler pool. There’s also an adult pool with lap lanes and a jacuzzi tub. In the event you work up an appetite, you can enjoy full-service poolside dining. Dining is always a consideration when considering a new club and The Club at Longview offers members a variety of dining options. Regardless of the venue you choose, the Chef and his staff take advantage of locally sourced fresh ingredients. Dishes you won’t find at too many clubs include Bacon, Jalapeno, and Cheddar Hushpuppies, and Ragin’ Cajun Chicken Pasta. No matter what you order, you’re sure to enjoy it! No amenity at Longview is more coveted than their Youth Lodge. Not only does it give mom and dad the opportunity for some quality time, but the kids enjoy themselves. The Youth Lodge takes up the entire upper level of the Activity Center and is 100% for the kids with age-appropriate play areas, a movie theater, arts and crafts areas, game tables, and more. With scheduled events, Mom and Dad can make plans ahead of time. In 2021, Mel Graham decided to sell the Club, and Concert Golf Partners was chosen as the long-term successor. Concert Golf plans to invest several million dollars into upgrades of the 25,000-square-foot main clubhouse and the 10,000-square-foot activity center. Concert Golf has already put roughly $3M in capital improvements into the property and more are underway. Recently completed projects include the expansion of the outdoor patio, a new pool pavilion, and a new turn house. Currently under construction are a new golf pro shop and a new Member bar and lounge."

"We had a great experience the past few days at the Concert Cup in Charlotte. We thought Longview put on a great tournament. The food, service and overall organization were fantastic. As our “host course", the staff made sure we felt comfortable as competitors, got to know some of the pros and ladies from other clubs and were well taken care of."

"The 2023 Concert Cup at The Club at Longview was so enjoyable. Beautiful club, outstanding golf and the food & beverage was superb. Hope to come back soon and already looking forward to next years event. Thanks for a wonderful time!"
