The Greenbrier - Greenbrier Course

The Greenbrier Course opened in 1924 as an original design by Seth Raynor, a protege of Charles Blair Macdonald whose template-hole style shaped early American golf. In 1977, Jack Nicklaus completed a comprehensive redesign to ready the layout for championship play, lengthening the course, reshaping greens and bunkers, and adding water to heighten its difficulty and strategy. That work paved the way for a remarkable double: the Greenbrier hosted the 1979 Ryder Cup, the first edition pitting the United States against a unified Europe, and later the 1994 Solheim Cup, making it the only resort course to have welcomed both events. Set in the mountains of White Sulphur Springs, it remains distinct from the resort's Old White TPC. Legend Sam Snead, long tied to the Greenbrier, is woven into its lore.
