Blowing Rock Country Club o/k/a Green Park-Norwood Golf Course (Blowing Rock, NC)
Raynor's involvement at Blowing Rock seemingly dates back to 1915, with a new 18 hole course put in place in 1923. In both instances, the actual construction of the course was managed by Lute Nelson.

Greenbrier Golf Course No. 2 (White Sulphur Springs, WV)
The No. 2 for this course is a bit of a misnomer, as it predates the No. 1 Old White course. Originally it was a rather short 18 hole course laid out in 1912 and 1913 by Alex Findlay and Fred Pickering, and was reduced to 9 holes when the Old White was built utilizing the best holes of the original 18 (see the end of the Oct. 1914 article below). As the 1930 Scorecard below indicates, it was still a short 9 hole course at that time and had been described in the press as more of a pitch and putt practice course than a full size course. At some point the what would become the "Lakeside" course was extended to 18 holes (again), and there are reports the work was carried out by George O'Neil.
I am not sure where the idea comes from that Raynor reworked this course in 1922. There are no contemporaneous accounts of any work taking place at that time, although the remodeling work on the Old White and the construction of No. 3 were covered extensively.

Greenbrier Golf Course No. 3 (White Sulphur Springs, WV)
The third course at the Greenbrier was originally going to be designed by CBM. By 1922 the press began reporting Raynor as the architect, and there are varying accounts on CBM's involvement. In 1926 Charles Banks added bunkers to the course according to Raynor's plans.
