The Greenbrier Golf Club (Greenbrier course)

4-PLUS: Must play course - excellent standard; worthy of 4½ stars.

Est. 1924

The Greenbrier Golf Club is home to three 18-hole public-access championship golf courses, which radiate out from the same imposing clubhouse. The trio include the highly-ranked Old White TPC course, as well as the Greenbrier and Meadows courses. Located just over a mile away from the resort centre is the Greenbrier Sporting Club, home to the private, members-only Snead Course.

Originally designed by the renowned course architect Seth Raynor, the Greenbrier course was modernised in 1978 by Jack Nicklaus, ahead of it hosting the 23rd Ryder Cup (1979). It later hosted the 3rd Solheim Cup in 1994 ... and another win for the USA.

Measuring 6,675 yards from the tips, the Greenbrier course plays through a pleasantly natural tree-lined habitat. Forced carries onto the greens is a prerequisite; these well-bunkered defended putting surfaces are often terraced, and need a good touch with the putter to get down in two. Plenty of golfing challenge, a well-crafted design and usually good upkeep all contribute to the appeal of this course.

Stay&Play at The Greenbrier: luxury onsite accommodation available; see Where2Stay section below.

Tournaments

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).

Who's Who

Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.

Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.

Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
