Greenbrier Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

With three courses at The Greenbrier, which one should I prioritize for my first visit?

You absolutely must play the Old White TPC first. It's a historic masterpiece, a true classic that feels both challenging and incredibly fair. If you have time for a second round, the Meadows offers a different, more modern test with fantastic views.

When is the ideal time to visit The Greenbrier for the best golf conditions and overall experience?

We always recommend visiting in late spring or early fall. The weather is perfect for golf, and the surrounding Allegheny Mountains provide stunning foliage. Summers can be warm, but the courses are meticulously maintained year-round, so you'll always find them in top shape.

Do I need to stay at The Greenbrier resort to play its famous courses, and what are the benefits if I do?

While you can sometimes book a tee time as a non-resort guest, staying at The Greenbrier truly elevates your golf trip. Resort guests receive priority access and often better rates, plus you get to immerse yourself in the resort's incredible history and amenities. It's a full experience, not just a round of golf.

How challenging are The Greenbrier's courses for a mid-handicapper, and what's a key strategy to play them well?

The Old White TPC is a strategic challenge, but it's very playable for a mid-handicapper if you think your way around. Don't just bomb it-off-the-tee; focus on positioning. We recommend paying close attention to the subtle slopes on the greens; they can be trickier than they look.

Beyond the golf, what unique experiences at The Greenbrier should I make time for during my visit?

You'd be missing out if you only focused on golf here. Take the bunker tour-it's a fascinating piece of Cold War history. The resort's architecture and interior design are stunning, and a visit to the spa or one of the fine dining restaurants completes the luxurious experience. It's a destination in itself.
