Exclusive to members of The Greenbrier Sporting Club, The Snead course was voted #3 "Best New Private Golf Courses in America" when it opened in 2004. Named after the legendary Sam Snead (1912 - 2002), The Snead was once the location of a landing strip adjacent to The Greenbrier's golf courses and was part of the early evacuation plan during the Cold War. Today, this Members-only golf course has five sets of tees. The practice range can accommodate up to 30 golfers at once - featuring target greens, simulated holes as well as a short game section including fairway, green and bunker shots.
