In the heart of the Allegheny Mountains of southwestern Virginia, is one of the America’s grand resorts; The Omni Homestead Resort.

Here you’ll find unparalleled hospitality sprinkled with its southern charm. Located on 2,300 acres, the resort is renowned for its hot springs and so much more. Check out the top must-dos on your next golf trip to this 253-year-old beautiful charming resort.

1. Tee-Up On The Oldest First Tee

Completed in 1892, the Old Course is distinguished as the home of the nation’s oldest first tee in continuous use, celebrating its 127th anniversary this year.  As the game has evolved, so too has the Old Course, with updates by William S. Flynn and Rees Jones. Abundant fairway contouring gives most shots a sidehill, uphill, or downhill lie to smallish greens, making approach shots interesting.

 

2. Play The Cascades Course

Golf legend Sam Snead once remarked that if he could play only one course, it would be the Cascades Course in Hot Springs, Virginia. Frequently considered one of the best courses in Virginia and one of the top mountain courses in the country, the Cascades at The Omni Homestead Resort is regarded as one of William S. Flynn’s finest works.

 

3. Lodge On Property

Renowned for its Southern hospitality and natural hot springs, the resort offers 483 guest rooms and suites. After your round of golf, you can head to the bar or back to your rooms as everything is within close proximity of each other.

 

4. Take Advantage Of On-Site Amenities

Whether you’re looking to eat at one of the many casual or fine dining restaurants or wanting to relax at the luxurious spa, The Omni Homestead has something for everyone. From falconry, archery, fly fishing, skiing, equestrian activities, a shooting club, tennis, Segway tours, 18-hole miniature golf course, and other recreational attractions, there is no shortage of fun.

To top it off, you have to check out Allegheny Springs which is a two-acre family-friendly water attraction with a lazy river and water attractions.

 

5. Eat Mountain Trout

The Homestead is known for its many culinary offerings. Signature dishes include the Allegheny Mountain Trout in the Dining Room and the Maître d’ Burger at Woody’s. The trout is a signature dish and reflects the nature and quality of the resort’s natural surroundings.

This is a must visit off-site attraction. Located just 5 miles north of Covington on Route 220 in Alleghany County is a breathtaking 80’ waterfall.
