Club History

Founded in 1921, Pinecrest has celebrated its 100th anniversary as a pillar of the Longview community. During the oil-rich heyday of the 30s, Longview was known to have the largest oil reserve in the World – Pinecrest continued to grow and evolve from these not-so-humble beginnings.

While its first course was a nine-hole member designed course, in 1932 a new expanded clubhouse was built and in 1958 Press Maxwell designed and constructed the championship 18-hole course. With expansive property, the practice facility was designed with the top golfer in mind. Boasting two practice greens, a practice chipping area, two full fairways and greens to which a member can play, a hitting tee with both grass and artificial turf, all creating 27 acres of the largest practice area in East Texas.

In 2009 the clubhouse was upgraded and expanded to over 30,000 square feet. The pool was updated by adding slides and cabanas. The very active tennis courts were resurfaced in 2021.
