Get a look at the Old White TPC Golf Course right now while keeping in mind that it’s scheduled to host the Greenbrier Classic in two weeks.
Call me glass half full, but this might be the best thing to happen to Greenbrier since the 1979 Ryder Cup. No one wants to play it (just look at the field), let alone watch the biggest snoozer of a tournament all season long. Can’t wait for that final Sunday group of Kevin Streelman and Johnson Wagner. Best case scenario before this flood, you see Bubba blow up on his caddie or Harold Varner dab. But now, with all of West Virginia under water, this event has my curiosity.
You thought the greens at the U.S. open were unfair? Wait until your ball is swept away by the course’s current. Players paddling upstream using Jason Gore and Colt Knost as flotation devices would be must-see TV. Ben Crane’s burnt bald dome bobbing around like a fishing float would be electric. I don’t want to watch the Greenbrier now, I need to watch the Greenbrier. Need it like the air these greens need to breathe..

I don’t know much about maintaining a golf course, but this looks pretty bad
10 years ago at 4:36 pmAs someone who has maintained a course, just a little sweeping of the greens should spruce it up enough.
10 years ago at 9:29 pmOh for real? Nevermind comment rescinded
10 years ago at 9:49 pmYeah it looks worse than it actually is.
10 years ago at 11:46 amI have a house up there and no one plays the Old White anyways so this is irrelevant
10 years ago at 6:08 pmI was just there for the WV Amateur, and I agree. It’s really expensive for a vacationer golf course but if you’re there anyways odds are you have money. I prefer The Greenbrier course, or The Sporting Club. (Obviously)

10 years ago at 7:05 pmFucking this app. TFM
10 years ago at 9:12 pmAs a superintendent this makes me cringe; As a golfer, that sucks
10 years ago at 7:05 pmJust realized how stupid that comment was, I’ll lace up
10 years ago at 7:13 pmIt wasn’t the worse comment I’ve seen..
10 years ago at 12:41 pmI’ve played the course, it’s a nice course but probably not worth hosting a PGA event
10 years ago at 12:11 pmYou must’ve played The Meadows. The Old White from the tips along with the greens make it a completely different story. Plus the obnoxiously tall grass surrounding fairway bunkers.
