The Omni Homestead Resort - Old Course

The Old Course at The Omni Homestead Resort sits in Virginia's Allegheny Mountains in Hot Springs, adjacent to the historic hotel. Golf began on the property in 1892 with a six-hole course, expanded to eighteen holes and then reworked by Donald Ross starting in 1913, giving the layout its present character.

The course's opening tee, beside the colonnaded hotel facade, is presented by the resort as the oldest first tee in continuous use in the country. From there the round climbs into the surrounding hills, with pronounced fairway contouring and several greens featuring false fronts.

The Old Course operates as a resort facility alongside the Homestead's other course, the Cascades, available to hotel guests with a full pro shop and practice facilities.
