The Cascades

Regarded as one of the finest mountain courses in the country, The Cascades is an 18-hole, par-71 championship golf course designed by legendary architect William S. Flynn. Located in Hot Springs, Virginia, it is set against the dramatic backdrop of the Allegheny Mountains and features varied terrain that influences play rather than dictates it.

The course offers multiple tee options ranging from 4,917 yards (forward tees) to 6,729 yards (blue tees), with ratings and slopes accommodating golfers of all skill levels. The Cascades is nationally ranked and frequently appears on lists of the best Southern courses, including Golfweek magazine's "#1 Best Golf Courses You Can Play in Each State" and Golf Digest's "America's 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses."

The course is historically significant as the launching point of Sam Snead's legendary golf career. It has also been featured in Golfweek's Best 2024 Resort Golf Courses. The challenging layout emphasizes strategic play through its natural mountain terrain, making it a premier destination for resort golf.
