THE 11th ANNUAL NAGA WARM UP

This very well may be the only time you’ll have to stay and play at the internationally renown The Greenbrier at anything close to the cost of this NAGA Warm-Up!  Kick off NAGA Week by staying at the "newer" Greenbrier  (estab. 1778) before heading down the valley and up another mountain to its elder neighbor The Homestead (estab. 1766).  Both resorts will “knock your socks off” and spoil you.

Text Box: The Greenbrier (http://www.greenbrier.com/) offers luxurious accommodations, great food, wonderful golf & spa facilities and history galore.  Come to think of it, so does The Homestead (http://www.thehomestead.com/)!  The Greenbrier does do a one-up on The Homestead with the addition of its new, comfortable casino.  Treat yourself to a week to remember at a truly great value.



The 2011 NAGA Warm-Up schedule will be something like this:

Saturday, Sept. 3  Travel day. Check-in at The Greenbrier
Sunday, Sept. 4  Play the Greenbrier Golf Course
(http://www.greenbrier.com/golf/the-golf-club/the-greenbrier-course.aspx)
Monday, Sept. 5 Play either The Old White Course or the Greenbrier Course again, depending upon the package you choose.
(http://www.greenbrier.com/golf/the-golf-club/the-old-white-tpc.aspx)
Tuesday, Sept. 6 Play the Meadows Course
(http://www.greenbrier.com/golf/the-golf-club/the-meadows-course.aspx)
Wednesday, Sept. 7 Check-out and head to The Homestead for great golf on The Cascades, Old Course and Lower Cascades golf courses and the warm hospitality of the AGA of Cincinnati during NAGA (Wed. thru Sat.)
