Longue Vue Club

Longue Vue Club was founded in 1920 by a group of Pittsburgh industrial leaders, organized by businessman Edward W. Mudge, who wanted a golf club of their own. In April 1922 the board commissioned Robert White, a St. Andrews-born pioneer of American golf and a founding figure of the PGA of America, to lay out the course in the hills above Verona along the Allegheny River. Prolific architect A.W. Tillinghast renovated the layout in 1935, offering several recommendations that shaped the course players know today. The stately clubhouse, designed by Benno Janssen and William York Cocken, was completed in the mid-1920s. The club continues to honor White through an annual event bearing his name, keeping the memory of one of the game's underappreciated forefathers alive at Longue Vue.
