The Old White, the first 18-hole golf course at The Greenbrier, was designed by Charles Blair Macdonald and opened for play in 1914. A legend of golf history at The Greenbrier, the course was named for the well-known Old White Hotel, which stood on the grounds from 1858 through 1922. Macdonald, the father of American golf course architecture, modeled several holes from some of the most famous throughout Europe. The 8th Hole was styled after the "Redan" at North Berwick, the 13th after the "Alps" at Prestwick and the 15th after the "Eden" at St. Andrews. His associate, Seth Raynor, assisted in the course construction and returned in the 1920s to oversee updates to the golf course.

Traditional Golf

Old White at The Greenbrier should be a bucket list destination for all golf enthusiasts. Classic design, beautiful homes, great clubhouse and an opulent resort. All aspects should be explored. Spend extra time to experience the entire offering. Pro shop was poorly stocked.

Disappointed - Not as Represented

First I need to point out that we are not rating the Old White course. We are rating Greenbrier course.

We were excited to have, what I would say should be a 5 star, high end golf experience, as the price dictated. Unfortunately, the Greenbrier course is NOT an 18 hole course. You play 1-7 then 16 & 17 as the front 9. Then you REPLAY 2-7 and 16,17 ending the back nine with #18. No where in any advertisement does it say this is a 10 hole course. Upon bringing up my disappointment to the pro shop, the young man said it absolutely is advertised. Screenshot below. He is wrong. I would have gladly played the Meadows course for 30 more dollars to have a real 18 hole golf course. On top of all that, don’t expect water on the course other than the single water bottle they put on your cart. There is a snack bar at 8/16 but two dogs, a chicken salad sandwich and a coke was $70. I’m ok with that if I got what I expected on the golf course. If you take time to visit Greenbrier, don’t waste your time on the Greenbrier course. Disappointed is an understatement.

Amazing golf course and experience

I played here for my second time and took 3 of my buddies for their first time. Everyone agreed it was the best golf course they had played. Challenging layout that was still fair to my less skilled friends to play. We loved our caddie…he improved the experience for sure. I will say the list price of around $600 is steep. It’s a great course, but is not Pebble Beach.

Regardless, we hope to be back next year!

The best I’ve ever played-The Old Whit

I I had played Valhalla golf club in 2000 and thought it was the best course I’ve ever played, but that all changed today. Dave, my caddy was excellent. The course was in great shape despite having hosted the LIV golf tournament two weeks ago definitely worth the time and the money.

The Old White / Great experience

Third time playing the Old White course. Great experience. Generous off the tee, but it test your short game to very well protected fast greens. Staff is top class. Fore caddies are great as well. Will go back for sure.

Great “Bucket List” Course

Playing the Greenbrier Old White course was a dream come true for me. Although I didn't stay on the Greenbrier property, I managed to capture some stunning photos and do some shopping. The course itself was exceptional. Be prepared to spend around $350, which includes the $260 green fee, a mandatory $65 caddy fee (note: caddies are required, but you can split the fee with fellow players), and some snacks (two bottles of ice-cold water were included in the cart). The course was a joy to play, with challenging greens and hazards lurking everywhere. I had a blast and drove the ball exceptionally well. Overall, a fantastic experience!
