Review
“Located in Hot Springs, Virginia, one and a half hours hours north of Roanoke, VA, The Old Course(Donald Ross, 1892) is one of two courses at the Omni Homestead Resort, which is the oldest resort in America, opened in 1766. The other course is the renowned, Cascades Course(William Flynn,1923) 25 US presidents have visit the resort over the past 250 yrs. The course is short , but fun and plays 6099 yrs from the tips, par 72. It has 6 par threes, 6 par fours and 6 par fives (many of which are reachable) and features tree lined generous fairways with lots of elevation changes."
