GSC Gets Ready for a Huge Memorial Day Weekend

GBSC — Thu, 12 May 2011 00:25:20 +0000

The day once known as Decoration Day not only marks a day of remembrance for our country’s fallen soldiers, but also the unofficial beginning of the summer season. It’s the weekend when pools across the region finally open their gates and picnic baskets are brought out of storage. This year at The Greenbrier Sporting Club, Memorial Day activities will include a bevy of outdoor pursuits, group workouts, dedicated children activities, and sports. However, it will also include the club’s annual Community Association Meeting on Saturday the 28th, and later that day, there will be a tour of Pam West’s Farm, where many of the “Farm to Table” ingredients at GSC’s restaurants are grown.

Join us May 26-30, 2011!

GSC to Celebrate Mother’s Day and Kentucky Derby May 7 & 8

GBSC — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 18:03:36 +0000

What do mothers and three-year-olds have in common? Both will be celebrated in style May 6-8 at The Greenbrier Sporting Club.

On Sunday, we shift gears and honor our mothers on their special day. Mother’s Day was actually initiated by the West Virginian Anna Jarvis, who passed out 500 white carnations at her mother’s church, St. Andrew’s Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton, West Virginia—one for each mother in the congregation. The Greenbrier Sporting Club’s celebration will include an a la carte brunch from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Members can call now and secure gift certificates for Ananda Spa services, dining at either the Lodge or Summit, golf on The Snead, and a number of other activities.
