The Greenbrier Golf Club (Meadows course)
The Greenbrier Golf Club (Meadows course)
Est. 1930s
|
Where2Golf says:
The Greenbrier Golf Club is home to three 18-hole championship golf courses, which radiate out from the same 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.
The Meadows course is a well-rated and pleasantly testing layout. This tree-lined parkland course should not disappoint, with many attractive features and several excellent holes to enjoy. Plenty of golfing challenge, a well-crafted design and usually good upkeep all contribute to the appeal of this course. In 1999, The Meadows was dramatically upgraded to become a serious test of skill and precision.
Most guests agree that The Meadows offers the best photographic opportunities of the three courses with its panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. The course shares a massive double green on the 18th hole with The Greenbrier Course and is a true test of skill. Many regional and state championships are contested on it annually.
Stay & Play: on-site luxury accommodation is available in The Greenbrier's resort rooms, cottages and homes (see Where2Stay section below).

Royal Ostend Golf Club: represents Belgium’s only real "beside-the-seaside" links golf course (others like Royal Zoute are located a little way inland). Here at Ostend many holes make excellent use of an impressive area of sand dunes. From the long par-4 5th through to the par-5 14th, you play across fabulously open and gently undulating golfing terrain, with few trees, fine sea views and probably a bit of North Sea wind thrown in for good measure.
