Exactly what you'd expect at a resort mountain course. Small greens, thick rough and everything in near manicured condition. Excellent staff. Great golf carts.
I'm not a morning person but came on a 25th anniversary trip with the wife so I teed off first player so I could be back by the time she decided to get out of bed. I dont know how to and dont like playing in morning dew and the constant swarm of knots but for other golfers I'm sure they love it.
A couple great views of the resort. The ups and downs weren't extremely challenging but just enough to make your club choice important.
Greens are PGA quality, just small. As in 25 yards total kind of size. Fairways maintained very well as well as cart path. The rough is kept but it was about 6 inches thick. Fairways are an average of 40 yards wide.
The challenge here is small greens, thin Fairways and thick rough. You'd think more highs and lows but that's not the challenge here.
Worth about $85 being a resort. Don't pay the $200+ rack rate. Get the pga stay n play...

You are given the opportunity to "maybe" view them from the crater-style side of the road which has been washed away. (As a heads-up, you may lose your vehicle doing so). Such a disappointment for us when we discovered how beautiful the property is only to be told "you can watch in a couple spots from the road whenever they get there". Needless to say, it has been a waste driving to a picturesque location and not even being allowed to walk or drive the course to support our local high...
Read moreThe Old Course at the Homestead is one of the finest mountain courses in Virginia and one of the best public courses as well. The staff show the finest hospitality that I’ve ever encountered and make you feel welcome during the round. The course itself is a shorter and older layout but is no pushover by any means. The course has small and severely undulating greens that are lightning fast and fairways that are severely sloping resulting in very few even lies. The conditions of the course are immaculate and make for an enjoyable day of golf for all...
