The Greenbrier course was built in 1924 by Seth Raynor and renovated in 1977 by Jack Nicklaus. In 1979, it hosted The Ryder Cup and years later in 1994 was the host to The Solheim Cup. It is the only resort course in the world to have hosted both events. Following the redesign of the Meadows Course after the historic floods in 2016, The Greenbrier Course was left with 10 holes. Those holes may be played as a 9-hole loop or an 18-hole course. All Jack Nicklaus design elements remain in place. Future plans are to restore the course to an 18-hole layout.

The Greenbrier is no stranger to major events in the world of golf. The Greenbrier Open, which later became The Sam Snead Festival, was the first professional event played at The Greenbrier and hosted many of the game’s biggest legends. Arnold Palmer won his first professional money in that tournament in 1955.
Stuart Appleby — a nine-time PGA TOUR winner, who captured The Greenbrier Classic title in its inaugural year in 2010 — also serves as a spokesperson for golf at The Greenbrier. In addition to these close ties, The Greenbrier has played host to other greats of the game on multiple occasions.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. - At West Virginia's usually immaculate Greenbrier resort, the grandstands set up for a PGA tournament that was supposed to start next week now look out on a muddy, gouged-out golf course strewn with trash, tires, refrigerators and severed trees.
1948 - The Greenbrier reopens in 1948. Sam Snead returns as golf pro to the resort where his career began in the late 1930s. More than any other individual Sam Snead establishes The Greenbrier's reputation as one of the world's foremost golf destinations.
The Greenbrier's complete history is chronicled in great detail supplemented by photographs from the resort's archives in The History of The Greenbrier: America's Resort by Dr. Robert S. Conte, the resort's Resident Historian since 1978.
1913 - The railroad adds The Greenbrier Hotel (the central section of today's hotel), a new Mineral Bath Department (the building that includes the grand Indoor Pool), and an 18-hole golf course (now called The Old White Course) designed by the most prominent contemporary golf architect, Charles Blair Macdonald.
