Our Virginia Golf Courses -- Three Unique Designs, Three Legendary Architects, Countless Stories
The Homestead's legendary golf tradition dates back more than 100 years. Today, our three championship
Virginia golf courses are renowned for their historic nature and for the challenge and the sheer
enjoyment they offer golfers of all levels. Showcasing premier championship links, our Virginia
mountain golf courses include:

Cascades Course
Regarded as the finest mountain course in the country, the Cascades Course offers challenging links set against
the backdrop of Virginia's breathtaking Allegheny Mountains. Sam Snead launched his career on this fabled Virginia
mountain golf course, which is ranked among "America's 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses" by Golf Digest.
Designed by legendary course architect William S. Flynn, the Cascades uses its varied terrain to influence play,
not to dictate it. Therefore, talented players can use the slopes and roll to their advantage, but less skilled
golfers will not find themselves penalized by forced carries or unfair hazard placement.
- 6,659-yard, par-70 course, well-known for its long, narrow fairways, fast greens, and beautiful headwaters of the Cascades Stream
- Ranked #12 in Golfweek's "America’s Best 100 Resort Golf Courses"
- Named one of the "Top 100 Golf Courses in the United States and the World" by Golf Magazine
- Hosted several USGA championships and will be hosting the USGA Women's Senior Amateur in 2009.
Old Course
The Homestead's Old Course was completed in 1892, and enjoys the distinction of having the nation's oldest first
tee in continuous use. And as the game has evolved over time, so has The Old Course -- with updates by William S.
Flynn and Rees Jones. Abundant fairway contouring gives most shots a side hill, uphill, or downhill lie to smallish
greens, making approach shots interesting.
- Donald Ross-designed, 6,211-yard, par-72 course
- Built in 1892 as a six-hole course, expanded to 18 holes by 1913
- Legendary No. 1 tee, the nation's oldest tee still in continuous use
- Recipient of approximately $1 million in improvements, overseen by Rees Jones, in 1994
Lower Cascades Course
The waters rushing through The Lower Cascades widen into a peaceful stream at the valley floor on the Lower
Cascades course. Don't let this lull you into a false sense of confidence. Designed by Robert Trent Jones,
Sr. in 1963, it features Jones' trademark runway tee boxes, wide-open fairways, severe green contouring with
exaggerated breaks, and strategically placed bunkers, for a competitive golf game. The Lower Cascades
has hosted U.S. Men's Amateur qualifying rounds.
- 6,619-yard, par-72 layout, featuring long tees, large greens, rolling fairways, and the Cascades Stream
- Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr.
