The Greenbrier Sporting Club is one of the country’s best golf communities and here Tom Fazio has created one of his finest designs, The Snead. This par 71, 7,041-yard centerpiece of The Sporting Club, named in honor of the longtime Greenbrier golf professional emeritus and American icon, Slammin’ Sam Snead, is surrounded by three scenic mountains and offers challenging links for the most discriminating golfer. The design of The Snead is a refreshing return to the core golf experience. Fairways transition beautifully through natural meadows and rolling forested hills, with layouts that test every skill level. Wall-to-wall bentgrass throughout, The Snead is forgiving off the tee, but makes up for it with a defensive greens complex, ripe with false fronts and edges.
After a vigorous warm-up choose your set of tees, get the bet right, and prepare yourself for a fabulous Tom Fazio-designed experience.
The U.S. Army established a POW camp near the current location of this lake during World War II. At the time, The Greenbrier served as a military hospital and was renamed Ashford General Hospital.
Ninety years ago a grandstand stood near this site for Greenbrier guests attending polo matches, horse shows & races. Visualize yourself thrilling a crowd with a great tee shot on this demanding par 3!
Before a golf course existed on the property it was a landing strip. For almost fort years Oscar Tate ran a charter air service in and out of The Greenbrier. For a perfect landing, split the middle of the fairway with your tee shot.
This stretch of U.S. Route 60 is now known as Sam Snead Boulevard. Use the prevailing wind to reproduce one of The Slammer's trademark long and awesome drives.
Back in the 1920's this road was known as the "Midland Trail" and it connected Norfolk, Virginia to St. Louis, Missouri. Have a safe journey, but watch out for those wetlands on your second shot.
The stone wall on number seven is a primary feature; however, there is also a Civil War tie to this region as well. Thomas Jonathan “Stonewall” Jackson was a guest at The Greenbrier in the 1850’s.
The panoramic view from this set of tees is of Kate's Mountain. The mountain was named after one of the first settler's in this valley, Kate Carpenter.
Although there are only five bunkers, from the tee there appears to be many more. Avoid the bunkers and you’ll have an opportunity to score well.
For twenty years, from 1910 to 1930, the President of The Greenbrier, Thornton Lewis, owned this property and he called his horse farm The Meadows.
To the left of the fairway is a lake, camoflauged by a slight uphill tee shot. Avoid the fairway bunkers, as the pond must be negotiated on the second shot as well.
Don't be distracted by White Rock Mountain, the mountain with four ridges that you are facing. Also, stay clear of the dangers surrounding this green.
From this point on you are heading back home. Make certain you have your approach the right distance, as this is not a very deep green.
John Howard led the first exploration party up this tributary of the Greenbrier River in the 1740's and he discovered what we now call Howard's Creek. His namesake creek will definitely influence your play this hole.
Named after the famed eighth hole at Royal Troon in Scotland. Both play to a very small green, on a ridge, where wind is likely to play havoc with your tee shot.
Within the larger mountain range known as the Appalachians the section we're in is known as the Allegheny Mountains. From the Championship Tees, there is an 85-foot drop in elevation. What a spectacular view of the surrounding area!
Although a number of Native American tribes hunted in this area, the Shawnee created numerous camps along Howard’s Creek.
A fitting finish to this tremendous eighteen holes, once again along the creek with The Lodge as a backdrop. There may even be a Swan in your gallery!
