The short answer

The Greenbrier is a National Historic Landmark resort in the Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia with three on-property championship courses - most notably Old White TPC, a former PGA Tour stop. Pinseekers Travel runs 3-4 night trips here for groups of 8 to 24 from May through October, with all-on-property lodging and the option to add the Casino Club, falconry, and the famous Bunker tour.

On the Ground

“The Greenbrier is as much about the resort experience as the golf. Old White TPC is the marquee but groups underrate the Meadows. Build in a non-golf afternoon - the falconry, the spa, the bowling alley. Guys remember those nights as much as the rounds.”

Billy Belair, PGA Professional · Co-Founder, Pinseekers Travel

Old White TPC

C.B. Macdonald & Seth Raynor (1914) · Mountain parkland with Macdonald-Raynor template holes · 7,286 yds, par 70

Hosted the PGA Tour's Greenbrier Classic. Restored Macdonald-Raynor templates (Redan, Biarritz, Cape, Short) make every round a study in classic strategic golf.

The Greenbrier Course

Seth Raynor / Jack Nicklaus redesign (1977) · Mountain parkland, tree-lined · 7,135 yds, par 72

Sam Snead won and Nicklaus redesigned. Tighter corridors than Old White, demanding tee-ball discipline. Hosts the resort's annual Sam Snead Festival.

The Meadows

Bob Cupp / Dick Wilson (1962) · Resort parkland · 6,807 yds, par 71

Walkable, friendly fairways, and a great warm-up round on Day 1 or a 'fun money' round on the last morning.

The Snead

Lester George (2014, replacing The Greenbrier's Dick Wilson layout for the Snead family course) · Hillside members-style parkland · 6,800 yds, par 71

Shorter, more playable, and built around the dramatic mountain elevation. Often added as a Day 4 closer or a half-day option.

Sample itinerary

A representative routing - every Pinseekers trip is tuned to the group's travel windows, handicaps, and tee-time preferences.

Day 1

Arrive and shake off the travel

Land at GSP or LWB by midday. Transfer to the resort, check into Casino Wing or main hotel. Afternoon round at The Meadows to loosen up. Welcome dinner at Prime 44 West (Sam Snead's restaurant inside the resort).

Day 2

Old White TPC - the marquee round

Caddie-carry round at Old White TPC, with the optional pro-line caddie program. Lunch at Sam Snead's Tavern in town. Evening at the Casino Club or the historic Bunker tour.

Day 3

The Greenbrier Course + member dinner

Morning round on the Greenbrier Course. Afternoon split between the spa, the falconry experience, or skeet shooting on property. Group dinner in The Main Dining Room (jacket required).

Day 4

Sam Snead Festival round + departure

Closing round at The Snead with cash games and team awards. Lunch on the Top Notch deck. Transfers home in the late afternoon.

Lodging & basecamp

Basecamp: The Greenbrier (main hotel) or Casino Wing

Stay on-property - the resort sprawls and shuttles only run between courses, not town. Casino Wing is closer to the action; main hotel rooms have the historic, larger feel. Cottages are available for groups of 6+ who want a private base.

When to go

Late May through mid-October is prime. June and September deliver the best balance of weather, conditioning, and pricing. July and August are warm but green; the resort runs at full schedule. Avoid November-March unless you want indoor amenities only - courses close seasonally.

Getting there & transfers

Closest commercial airport is GSP (Greenbrier Valley, LWB code) - small but on-property. Most groups fly into Roanoke (ROA, ~2 hrs) or Charleston (CRW, ~2 hrs). Private aviation lands at LWB. Pinseekers arranges transfers from any of these for groups of 4+.

Common questions about The Greenbrier golf trips

How much does a The Greenbrier golf trip cost per person?

Pinseekers Travel The Greenbrier trips run $2,400 - $4,500 per player. Final pricing depends on group size, season, lodging tier, the caddie program, and whether you add premium rounds or off-property activities. We publish standard, premium, and black-card tiers on this page; email events@pinseekerstravel.com with your dates and roster size and we'll come back with a custom quote within one business day.

What is the best time of year for a The Greenbrier golf trip?

The prime window for The Greenbrier is May - October. Conditioning, weather, and tee-time access all peak in that range. Shoulder months can drop pricing 20-30% with most days still playable. We don't book outside the prime window unless the group prefers off-season value over guaranteed weather - the "When to go" section above breaks down each month in detail.

How many days should a The Greenbrier golf trip be?

Most The Greenbrier groups travel for 3-4 nights / 3-5 rounds. Shorter than that and the marquee rounds feel rushed; longer and fatigue cuts into scoring on the closing days. We size every trip to the group's travel windows, handicaps, and how many courses they want to play - the sample itinerary on this page is one representative routing, not the only shape the trip can take.

What are the must-play courses at The Greenbrier?

The marquee rounds we sequence on a The Greenbrier trip are Old White TPC, The Greenbrier Course, The Meadows, The Snead. Each is profiled in "The courses we play" section above with designer, course type, and the strategic reason it earns a tee time on the schedule. Additional add-on rounds and replay options are available for groups that want to extend the trip or get a second crack at a favorite layout.

What's the closest airport to The Greenbrier?

Most groups fly into GSP (closest), CRW, ROA, or fly private into LWB (on property). Pinseekers arranges group transfers from the airport to the basecamp and between courses for groups of four or more, with larger groups split across multiple vans. Private aviation arrivals are coordinated separately when the group has access. The "Getting there & transfers" section above lists the alternates worth considering.

Can I ship my golf clubs to The Greenbrier?

Yes. Pinseekers handles club shipping on every trip via Ship Sticks or Luggage Forward, with door-to-door pickup from your home or club and delivery to the resort bag room before arrival. Most groups ship one direction and fly back with their sticks; we coordinate the pickup window, the labels, and the resort hand-off so you land and play.

What's a typical group size for a The Greenbrier golf trip?

The Greenbrier trips typically run 8 - 24 players. The format suits buddies trips, corporate retreats, milestone birthdays. Smaller groups (under the listed minimum) are workable but lose tee-time flexibility; larger groups need a custom build and a longer lead time for lodging blocks. Tell us your roster size in the brief and we'll size the routing - and the sample itinerary - around it.

How early should I book a The Greenbrier golf trip?

Book The Greenbrier trips six to twelve months ahead for prime-season dates. Marquee rounds and on-property lodging fill earliest, especially over weekends in the May - October window. Off-season and weekday trips can sometimes be confirmed inside 90 days. Send the brief as soon as the group's dates are firm; we hold tee times the same week the contract is signed.

Are caddies available at The Greenbrier?

Caddies are available at most The Greenbrier courses and required at a few. Pinseekers books the caddie program with the round - including forecaddies, pro-line caddies, and walking-only setups where the property requires it. We brief every caddie on the group's preferences before the round goes off, and tipping guidance is included in the trip packet so nobody is guessing on the first tee.

Does Pinseekers handle non-golfer activities at The Greenbrier?

Yes. Pinseekers coordinates non-golfer activities on every The Greenbrier trip - spa, dining, off-property tours, cultural experiences, fishing, and whatever else the group's spouses or non-golfing partners want to fit in. Tell us in the brief who's traveling and what they want to do, and we'll build the parallel schedule into the trip without making it feel like a separate booking.
