The Greenbrier & Virginia Highlands
Cascades Course at The Omni Homestead
Classic mountain championship golf
Cascades is the strongest pure architecture play in the route for a lot of serious golfers. Flynn routed a mountain course that asks real second-shot questions instead of just posing for postcards. It is tighter, older, more exacting, and less forgiving than the resort brochure tone suggests.

A truly 5-star experience at the Cascades course. Conditions were impeccable, staff was friendly, weather was gorgeous and the track itself was first class.

I had a truly first-class experience playing the Cascades course. From the moment I arrived the staff was welcoming, attentive, and friendly, setting the tone for a great round. The course was in outstanding condition. Beautifully maintained fairways, smooth/fast greens, and stun
