The Greenbrier Course, originally constructed in 1924 by Seth Raynor, was redesigned by Jack Nicklaus in 1977. It is the only resort golf course in the world to be the site of both professional international cup matches: the Ryder Cup Matches (1979) and the Solheim Cup Matches (1994). This 6,675-yard, par 72 course is heavily wooded and demands forced carries onto the greens. The well-bunkered greens are terraced and require accurate iron play and talent with the short irons and putter. This course closes November 2, 2010 for the season.
