About Us – 25 Years of Golf & Water Communities
GOLF COURSE HOME® was founded by David Lott in 1995, debuting in the fall as a special, pre-printed supplement in Inc. Magazine where it would appear on a regular basis for the next four years.
During the previous 10 years, Lott had learned about the golf community industry writing special real estate and travel sections for Golf Digest, where he spent five years, and then writing for GOLF Magazine, LINKS, MET Golfer and various regional publications.
In November 1999, Golf Course Home completed a successful migration to the Internet and in doing so became a successful early adopter of web technology and the first website to be completely devoted to golf and water view real estate. The following year WaterViewHome.net was launched to focus on communities with water views on lakes, rivers and oceans. Request More Information about GCH
Years of Rapid Growth
While many internet companies were launched and washed away in the dotcom bust of the early 2000s, Golf Course Home flourished. The site quickly became the go-to online resource for people looking to purchase homes and lots in golf and waterview communities for use as a vacation home, a second home or for a retirement residence.
In 2003, Golf Course Home® expanded to 10+ golf and water view community websites and became known as the Golf Course Home® Network (GCHN).
In 2005, the company officially achieved Trademark status for the name ‘Golf Course Home.’
In the ensuing years, GCHN expanded to more than 40 sites devoted to various states and community types. Changes to Google’s search algorithm i around 2013 resulted in the need to retire of many of the sites. However, all the domain names were then directed to point to either GolfCourseHome.com or WaterViewHome.net, thereby maintaining their historical, and priceless, search value.
