Have you ever been to The Omni Homestead, one of the nation’s finest golf resorts? Maybe not, despite its location in the remote Allegheny Mountains of southwestern Virginia, only three and a half hours or so from Winston-Salem. After all, many Triad golfers find no reason to leave the state for a golf trip. There’s…
