The Greenbrier & Virginia Highlands
The Old White at The Greenbrier
Classic template resort golf
The Old White is the reason The Greenbrier belongs in serious golf-trip conversations. It has history, templates, tournament pedigree, and a resort setting that still feels like its own planet. The best way to read it is as a public-access Macdonald/Raynor lesson hiding inside a maximalist resort.

What a unique experience! Highly recommend the Bunker tour. My husband and I spent a whole day just touring the property. Would also recommend eating at Drapers, the food and service was excellent.
