The Old White TPC

The Old White TPC, the first 18-hole golf course at The Greenbrier, opened in 1914 and recently celebrated its 100th anniversary. A legend of Greenbrier golf history, the course was named for the well-known Old White Hotel, which stood on the grounds from 1858 to 1922.

President Woodrow Wilson was one of the first golfers to play The Old White TPC in April of 1914. This historic course features generous fairways and challenging, undulated greens. Every hole is memorable and has a well defined strategy for success. Whether you prefer a challenging approach or one with less risk, and a higher chance of success, you'll find it on this historic course.

Charles Blair Macdonald, the father of American golf course architecture, designed the course and modeled several holes from some of the most famous across Europe. The Old White TPC Course's 8th Hole was styled after the Redan at North Berwick; the 13th Hole after the Alps at Prestwick and the 15th Hole after the Eden at St. Andrew's.  His associate Seth Raynor assisted in the construction and later returned in the 1920’s to oversee updates to the golf course. Between 2004 and 2006 the course underwent a complete restoration to return it to its original Macdonald/Raynor design.

Over the years, golf greats including Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Lee Trevino, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Tiger Woods and many more have played these challenging greens. Sam Snead recorded his final, and 42nd career, hole-in-one on The Old White TPC's 18th Hole in 1995.

In 2010, The Old White TPC hosted the inaugural Greenbrier Classic, a PGA TOUR FedExCup Event. Past champions have included Stuart Appleby (2010), Scott Stallings (2011), Ted Potter, Jr. (2012), Jonas Blixt (2013), Àngel Cabrera (2014) and Danny Lee (2015).

In 2011, The Old White became The Old White TPC, joining the most prestigious golf courses in the nation within the PGA TOUR's Tournament Player's Club (TPC) Network.
