Resort, 54 holes, $215 - $215

The Cascades at The Homestead is considered by some to be the best mountain course in America. Tucked in the foothills of the Alleghenies, the Cascades draws golfers the way the town's mineral springs drew the nation's founding fathers. The Cascades has been significantly upgraded in the past 10 years. In consultation with the USGA, the resort has leveled, reshaped, and enlarged many of the existing tee boxes, with several new forward tees added to increase the enjoyment of higher handicappers. Also, a caddie program truly enhances the playing experience on this classic layout.

The Homestead's original course was treated to a $1 million facelift by Rees Jones in 1995. Renamed the Old Course, this sporty 6,211-yard layout has small greens, fine mountain views -- and the oldest first tee (1892) in continuous use in America.

The Homestead's third venue is the Lower Cascades, a Robert Trent Jones-designed layout marked by long tees, large greens, and a gurgling creek. Want to groove your swing? The former 18th hole of the Old Course was converted to a driving range adjacent to the resort's Golf Advantage School. The entire resort operation is a match for the golf experience. The list of amenities at this 521-room institution harks back to another time, from nightly dancing to a live orchestra to horse-drawn carriage rides through the countryside.
