White Sulphur Springs, WV

The Meadows Course is one of four golf courses at The Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, set in the valley below the Allegheny Mountains. The course began as a nine-hole layout called Lakeside, designed by Alexander Findlay and opened in 1911.

After severe damage from a 2016 flood, The Meadows underwent a full restoration completed in 2017, adding new green complexes and the resort's signature stacked-sod bunkers while retaining mountain views throughout the round. The layout includes water from Howard's Creek and Swan Lake on several early holes and a mix of demanding par threes. The Meadows operates as a resort course open to Greenbrier guests and members, with tee times arranged through the resort's golf department alongside the historic Old White and Greenbrier courses.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks purchased the club and renamed it in 1985. Water comes into play on five holes, and the small, undulating greens make the short layout more difficult than its yardage suggests.

The design reflects the techniques and limited equipment of its era, with steep slopes and severe elevation changes uncommon on newer courses. A maple tree planted along the 11th fairway at construction has since grown into a well-known obstacle for golfers trying to reach the green.

It remains open year-round as part of the resort's public golf offering.
