Greenbrier Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play golf at The Greenbrier?

We've found late spring (May-June) and early fall (September-October) offer the most pleasant conditions for golf at The Greenbrier. You'll enjoy comfortable temperatures and the courses are typically in peak condition, avoiding the intense summer heat or the chill of winter.

How challenging are The Greenbrier's courses, especially for a mid-handicapper?

The Old White TPC is a classic design that's more about strategy and precision than brute force, making it enjoyable for all handicaps if you play the right tees. The Meadows course offers a different test, with more elevation changes and water hazards that can definitely add strokes if you're not careful.

What should I budget for a round of golf at The Greenbrier, and is it worth the price?

Expect resort guest rates for the Old White TPC to be in the $300-$400 range, with The Meadows slightly less. While it's a splurge, the immaculate conditioning, historical significance, and overall resort experience make it a truly memorable round that we believe is absolutely worth it for a special trip.

Is it difficult to secure a tee time at The Greenbrier, particularly for non-members?

Yes, tee times, especially on the Old White TPC, can fill up quickly, so we strongly recommend booking well in advance, ideally when you reserve your resort stay. Non-resort guests often have limited access or higher rates, making staying on-site your best bet for guaranteed play.

What's a unique historical aspect or signature hole I should look out for on The Greenbrier's courses?

On the Old White TPC, definitely pay attention to the iconic 13th hole, "The Cardinal's Nest," with its challenging green complex and historical significance. The entire course, designed by C.B. Macdonald, feels like a step back in time, offering a genuinely classic American golf experience.
