Golf in Longview

Longview is a Cowlitz County planned city, built in the 1920s as a company town for the Long-Bell Lumber Company's massive Columbia River mills, one of the most complete examples of planned community development in American history. The city's original grid and tree-lined boulevards remain, and the paper and aluminum industries continue to define the Cowlitz County economy. The Columbia River's broad lower reach and the Cascade foothills visible from the city create the southwestern Washington industrial community setting. Golf in this Washington community connects residents to the natural landscape that defines the state's most compelling quality-of-life asset — the combination of mountain scenery, marine waters, and the productive agricultural and technology economies that have made Washington one of America's most dynamic states.
