More "G's" for the week, Grandover Parkway intersects with Guilford College Road near yesterday's farmhouse. The imposing, literally-grand, 1,500 acre Grandover Resort is visible from I-85 in the southwest end of Greensboro. Grandover Resort was built to feel castle-like and to evoke a European sense of history. It endeavors to be grand in every way: 45,000 square feet of meeting space, 36 holes of golf, full spa services, and more. Opening in the late 1990's, Grandover was a 30-year dream realized for Greensboro's most prolific developer Joseph Koury. Koury is also known for building the Four Seasons Mall and Convention Center, over 8,000 homes, 14 residential neighborhoods, and seven shopping venues (Koury Corp.).
While we have not had the opportunity to stay there, we would be negligent to omit Grandover from Greensboro Daily Photo. Grandover is North Carolina's effort to be a destination vacation in much the same manner as West Virginia's Greenbrier Resort. This post is long overdue!
The Greenbrier / Grandover--no comparison!
