When it comes to PGA Tour events, The Greenbrier Classic, last known as A Military Tribute at The…read moreGreenbrier, was on the lower end of the spectrum, hence my two-star rating. There are/were several better tournaments out there. Don't get me wrong - every PGA Tour tournament is great, but relatively speaking, this was one of the less attractive stops on Tour. On April 16, 2020, The Greenbrier put out a press release stating that they and the Tour mutually agreed to cancel their contract which ran through 2026. Traditionally played over July 4th week, The Greenbrier was moved to September in the 2019-20 season (the season's opening event). Due to the scheduling change and move to the new fall date, "the attractiveness for sponsors and the attendance for the fans dropped significantly" according to Greenbrier PR. This was a short-lived tournament, starting in 2010 and ending in 2019. The tournament's first champion, Stuart Appleby, set the tournament scoring records which were never broken. The tournament's purse increased to $7,500,000 in its final season which was middle of the pack at the time. Not bad. The tournament drew big names, but not at a high volume. Tiger Woods played in the Greenbrier twice: 2012 (cut) and 2015 (T32). Then again, Tiger also played in the Wyndham Championship: https://www.yelp.com/biz/wyndham-championship-greensboro. The Greenbrier skipped two seasons, 2015-16 due to the 2016 West Virginia flood (the course sustained substantial damage and had to close; it reopened in July 2017) and 2018-19 due to the aforementioned rescheduling. The tournament was held on The Greenbrier resort's Old White course which opened in 1914. It's a TPC course. In July 2019, Golf Digest ranked it the second-best TPC course after Sawgrass. High praise. It's one of four courses at the resort. The resort's "Greenbrier" course hosted both the Ryder and Solheim Cups. The tournament was renamed A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier because of the resort's strong ties to the American military. Jim Nantz has mentioned this on telecasts and you can read details about it online -- the resort houses a formerly-classified underground facility that was intended to keep parts of the US government running in times of emergency. This arrangement was in place from 1962 to 1992. During the tournament, members of the US military would be stationed at a certain hole (or certain holes), some tending to the flagsticks. I thought that was a nice touch and made The Greenbrier unique from other Tour stops.

Always leaning in favor of the PGA TOUR and golf events my nature is to review favorably. In the…read morecase of The Greenbrier Classic - no brainer. This event is as well-presented as any on Tour. I'll begin by answering your question, "Why not 5-star"? Well, parking can be arduous due to limited capacity at the Greenbrier Resort. It's a park-n-ride situation and because the road to the Greenbrier is one-lane there can be delays to and from the event. And the event is slightly out-of-the-way from major metropolitan areas. Okay. So you have to drive awhile and then park to ride awhile. The slight delay is worth it. With weekly badge buying comes the Greenbrier Concert Series. This year attendees see Luke Bryant, Tim McGraw, the Black Eyed Peas, Keith Urban and Miranda Lambert on 3 consecutive nights. Terrific stuff. Oh! The golf tournament. There is every kind of accessory and compliment for spectators. Food stands, bleachers, bars & pubs, hospitality (if you lucky enough for a feedbag experience) and plenty of great golf. The Old White golf course looks tremendous this year after a redesign of all the greens. New tees have been added so the pros likely won't sniff 59 this year. And then.... the Greenbrier Resort property. Shops, pools, a casino, restaurants. Don't look at the Greenbrier Classic just a PGA TOUR stop. The place is buzzing with excitement and fun. And stating the obvious: THESE GUYS ARE GOOD!

The fact that this even exists is such a great asset to Beckley. I had been meaning to come here for years, but hadn't been able to make the time u til today. I purchased them tickets only through the website. The cost was between $7.50 to $10 per ticket plus some service fees. Not sure if the price would have been the same at the stadium. I had the option to either print my tickets or pick up at will call. When I got to will call they didn't issue me a ticket, they just said I could show my email to the people at the front to get in. There are several concession stands and food options which are more detailed on their website. The price varied a lot from very affordable ($2 for snow cone) to over priced ($3 for a bottle of water). However, the people are very friendly and the Eplings have created a family like atmosphere. There are no covered seating so bring an umbrella to block out the Sun or rain. Bleacher seating doesn't have backs but the "box" seating does. All seats have great views of the action and the field even over looks the mountains. Just don't park close to the stadium; there are several balls that leave the park and will hit your car if you're parked in the first 3 rows. Overall, I recommend this experience to locals and anyone just visiting!

The baseball park is a local favorite pastime. It is the home field of the Bluefield Blue Jays minor league baseball team. It was renovated back in 1975 and it seats approximately 3000 fans. The stadium was built in 1939 during the Great Depression and was rebuilt in 1975 after a fire. The seats were brought in from California. A local hometown favorite place to go this stadium brings many memories back for me watching the former team Bluefield Orioles play. Back in the day the team was the minor league for the Baltimore Orioles . Today it's the home of the Bluefield Blue jays.

We chose the "extreme fun" pass for everyone and were told that the infant would be the same price ($24.99) for everyone. What? She can't even walk. That's crazy. But okay fine, a policy is a policy, she can watch. So our total for 6 people was $150 + socks ($3 each) + tax but wait! There's a 5.5% fee for using a credit card so another $8+. The website casually mentions a "discounted cash price" but a 5% upcharge is absurd. In 2026 who carries around that kind of cash? When we asked about this up charge, the attendant grew very defensive and began trying to explain that the credit card company requires the charge and that it's not a fee they can eat as a business expense because they have to pay for Virginia gaming taxes or something. Look, I get it, I work in customer service too and don't always agree with my employer's policies (but still have to support them) but this man was acting like the fee would come directly out of his paycheck and being quite aggressive about it. We aren't stupid and know that businesses have out of pocket costs but pretending like they need to be passed on to the consumer at an exact 1:1 ratio is silly, ESPECIALLY when you're charging $3 for a $0.10 pair of socks. Anyways, we paid and kept it moving. The kids liked jumping and then the older girls liked the climbing walls. It wasn't very crowded and most of the bigger kids/teens were corralled in one of the dodgeball courts. I assume this is where all of the employees were too because there was absolutely no one available anywhere else on the floor. Not a huge deal because we had plenty of adults and our younger kids were safe to play on the other surfaces. They really liked the small playground (although it really should be more like 8 and under, 12 is pretty big for an area obviously for younger kids). The foam pits in the jousting area and ladder section were disappointing because the foam is old and crusty off and pretty gross but the trampoline parts were fairly clean. There is a section with "ninja" kind of activities that seemed to be an afterthought and had a lot of unfinished wood and a dangerous open area to the bottom of the trampoline springs that we stayed clear of but could be a big issue for older kids. When we were all getting tired of jumping and wanted to do the arcade and bumper cars is when things started going downhill again. We asked the person at the front for help with the bumper cars and he said someone on the floor could help but there was no one to be found. One employee at the front desk, one at the snack bar, and not a soul on the floor, no one at the climbing wall, and not a soul in the arcade/big slide area. They finally managed to find someone but were visibly annoyed so it was an uncomfortable situation. After we were done doing arcade games we went to the prize area to cash in our points for trinkets. The kids mostly played games that didn't get many points so I knew we wouldn't have a lot but we had 3 cards and wanted to combine the points to get a couple very small items. There were other families there with a gazillion points though and the man working there seemed super overwhelmed by the process and focused on their high ticket items, which is understandable. He told us the individual amounts but then when he was combining them the amount was somehow less than they were alone? He kept adding them but as other people came up he'd start doing things with them and mixing up everyone's cards. It was super confusing for everyone, especially our 2 kids who kept picking out treats and then being told actually no wrong amount. He finally came up with a number that was in the same ballpark as the initial individual cards and we got a couple bouncy balls. Overall, this was quite a day. The jumping part was fine but the customer service overall needs some serious help. They are obviously significantly understaffed which is annoying at best but potentially very dangerous with no one on the floor. The credit card situation is annoying too and should be more clear on the website, but truly the ability to take cards is a business convenience and expense that I expect a business to absorb.
