The Homestead (Cascades)

Overview: The Cascades Course at The Homestead climbs through the Allegheny Mountains around Hot Springs, Virginia. William S. Flynn's routing uses the mountain slopes, wooded corridors, and changing elevations to produce a course whose views and shot values are closely linked.

History: The Cascades opened in 1924 and was designed by William S. Flynn. The course later became associated with Sam Snead, who grew up nearby and worked at The Homestead before his professional career.

Did You Know? Sam Snead's connection to The Homestead is part of the course's identity, not just a piece of resort biography. The mountain setting where he learned and worked helped make the Cascades a lasting part of Virginia golf history.
