Greenbrier - Old White Course

About
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.

Awesome Old White
My third time on the Old White course and it continues to get better each time !!
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!
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 GRINGO

Wonderful experience
Very friendly
Beautiful grounds
Great golf course
Old white
Course best condition I’ve seen it. Our caddie Cuz is the man. If book a time here in summer months deff ask for him
Great deal
If you can get this course for under a hundred bucks take but be aware you have to have a forecaddy and pay him but ours was very helpful and funny
Play it once, if you are willing to pay for the privilege
Was staying at the Greenbrier resort for wife's birthday celebration and played both the Old White & Meadows course.
Pros: Beautiful and challenging course originally designed by C.B. McDonald. Immaculate condition, great forecaddie (Billy). But man, those greens are fast. Also, may be the only public access ("access" being relative, see con below), McDonald course. I think the others are private.
Con: Eye watering green fee. Stated summer rate for resort guests is $475 but they hit you with all sorts of extra fees so that my total was about $540. Yikes!
Deal of a lifetime
Scrolling on my phone early Saturday morning I logged into my GolfNow App and began to search for tee times for Sunday morning hoping to see the course we originally planned to play had put up a Hot Deal to save us some money. What I found was a deal too good to be true. A round for 4 at The Greenbrier for 46 dollars per player at 9:36am Sunday the 18th. I quickly contacted my golf group to see if they were ok switching up our plans. I booked the tee time and after discounts it ended up being 41.50 per player. Cart and range included. This is a course that is generally 300 plus to play!!!! HUGE savings and great experience. Our Forecaddie A-Rod was great and friendly. His knowledge of the course was unreal. Best deal I have ever found on GofNow App by a longshot. Whoever decided to set that price, Thank you! We had an absolute blast. What a fantastic Fathers day for my group. Thank you Greenbrier staff and thank your GofNow.
