The Omni Homestead Resort

Sam Snead once remarked that if he could play only one course, it would be The Cascades at The Omni Homestead Resort in Hot Springs. Recently ranked No. 27 on Golf Digest's list of America's 100 Greatest Public Courses, The Cascades is regarded as one of William S. Flynn’s finest works.

Flynn’s deft architectural skills created a course which fit perfectly within the scenic Allegheny Mountains. A variety of tee shots lead to sloping, tree-lined fairways and the Cascades Stream comes into play on several holes.

The Old Course is distinguished as home of the nation's oldest first tee in continuous use. Updates by Flynn and Donald Ross, are showcased in the abundant fairway contouring and smallish greens, making approach shots interesting. Another notable feature of the Old Course is that it has 6 par 3s, 6 par 4s and 6 par 5s.

The Omni Homestead Resort is one of America's grand resorts with a history spanning more than 250 years. The combination of genuine hospitality and southern charm in a 2,300-acre setting in the Allegheny Mountains of southwestern Virginia. An expansive and luxurious Spa features a variety of services as well as an adults-only Serenity Garden. The resort offers an array of outdoor activities including an outdoor pool with water slides and lazy river, archery, Cascades Gorge hike, Shooting Club with trap, skeet and sporting clays, falconry, miniature golf, fly fishing and tennis.
