Rate Greenbrier
The Shawnee Indians knew about these sulphur springs and their healing powers long before they were discovered by homesteaders in 1778. 
But it did not take long for word to spread and a collection of log cabins and tents to sprout around the waters in this serene mountain valley, setting the stage for what has evolved into a 6,500-acre resort in West Virginia's Allegheny Mountains. The centerpiece is a stately 721-room white-columned Georgian hotel, now a National Historic Landmark, and its entourage of guest cottages and estate houses, framed by a generous landscaping of trees and shrubs and striking in their Dorothy Draper and Carleton Varney decor of bold patterns and vivid colors. While the mineral baths remain a distinguishing element, the allure now extends to a vast array of recreational diversions, among them tennis, golf, bowling, and falconry. The big news for Spring 2010 is the opening of The Casino at The Greenbrier, a 8,900-square-foot collection of table games, slot machines, retail boutiques, and restaurants.
The decor and casino suggests that this is anything but a shy, retiring Southern belle; however, the resort does cling to some long-standing traditions. Dinner in the formal Main Dining Room is a sumptuous, multicourse affair served in an ornate hall. Gentlemen don jackets and ties at dinner (though there is also a less formal option of dining at the golf clubhouse).

The resort has an extraordinary tennis history: It had a grass court as long ago as the 1890s and such tennis legends as Bill Tilden, Ellsworth Vines, and Bryan "Bitsy" Grant played there. Today the attention to tennis seems more subdued, with a relatively small complex of 10 courts, though because five of them are indoors, it is possible to play year-round.
Tennis Staff. Head teaching pro Terry Deremer arrived at The Greenbrier in June of 2003. A native of West Virginia, he had been coaching the WVU men's tennis team, which ranked as high as Top 20 in the nation during his tenure, and teaching in his hometown of Morgantown when he took the resort position. He was joined in 2007 by Jennifer Watkins, who captained the WVU women's tennis team and after graduating became its assistant coach before signing on as assistant professional at The Greenbrier.
Tennis Programs. The Greenbrier
offers a daily roster of stroke analysis clinics and doubles
drills and strategy as well as Cardiac tennis and supplemented
in summer by junior clinics. All of these tend to get bigger
turnouts on weekends and during the summer. The staff also
strives to find both adults and juniors games: "We try
the best we can to match them up," says Deremer, drawing
on their local membership if there are no suitable resort
guests. In March, April, and May Deremer adds weekend adult
and junior tennis camps to the roster.
