Since the early 19th century, visitors have flocked to The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs to be pampered at one of the finest resorts in the world. Renowned for first class service, The Greenbrier provides a blend of classic Georgian architecture, exquisite cuisine, luxurious accommodations, numerous recreational activities and Southern hospitality.

This award-winning resort is located in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia amid 6,500 acres of breathtaking scenic beauty. Since the property�s early days, it has been accessible via train, with a station directly across from the main entrance. In addition, an airport in nearby Lewisburg and Interstate 64 offer other convenient arrival and departure options.

In the beginning, the social elite were drawn to the area for the sulphur water, thought to have wondrous healing capabilities. Yet even after research proved no such powers existed, people continued to come to The Greenbrier to enjoy an abundance of amenities and activities.

In 1913, three years after purchasing the property, the C & O Railroad built the central portion of today�s Greenbrier and the first golf course, the Old White Course. The Old White Course was designed by Charles Blair Macdonald and features several holes modeled after well-known Scottish holes. Over the years, Sam Snead, the resort�s golf professional emeritus, as well as Arnold Palmer, Jimmy Demaret, Dwight Eisenhower, the Prince of Wales, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and the Rev. Billy Graham have enjoyed golf at The Greenbrier. Jack Nicklaus redesigned the Greenbrier Course in 1977 for the 1979 International Ryder Cup Matches. The Greenbrier Course is the only resort course in the world to have hosted both the Ryder and Solheim Cup matches. The third championship course on the property is the Meadows Course, redesigned in 1998 by Robert Cupp. The Golf Digest Academy opened in 2004, offering clinics and multi-day classes for golfers of all abilities.

Greenbrier guests enjoy over 50 recreational activities including The Greenbrier Off-Road Driving School, where guests experience the thrill of off-road driving on miles of trails. Other recreational activities include indoor and outdoor tennis, walking and exercise trails, Falconry Academy, sporting clays, trap and skeet shooting, indoor and outdoor pools, croquet, horseback riding, carriage rides, bowling, fishing and mountain biking.

For guests who wish to relax and be pampered, The Greenbrier Spa has the answer. In 2001, the Spa was renovated and enlarged to 38,000 sq. ft. and now features a variety of treatments designed to refresh and renew. New treatments include the Olive Oil Body Scrub, Papaya Body Mask, and the Phyto-Organic Facial. Vichy showers are utilized for body exfoliation treatments such as the Honeysuckle Scrub, Moor Mud and Glacier Clay Wraps. The Zephyr hydrotherapy tub utilizes salts and offers color therapy as well.

For the ultimate in relaxation, Swedish full body, aromatherapy and ThermaStone massages are available.
