About
Cascades Golf Club is one of two nine-hole courses offered by Crystal Springs Resort, which offers four other courses. Cascades is the newest of all the courses. It was designed by Roger Rulewich, who designed two of the resort's most popular golf courses, Ballyowen and Wild Turkey. The other nine-hole course, Minerals, has been ranked as one of the top 12 short courses in the country, but Cascades still manages to hold its own. The course offers a fair amount of challenge but the main appeal is its playability. Cascades Golf Club is mostly open with a few strategically placed bunkers coming into play. There is also the occasional water hazard. The golf course is gentle enough for beginners but provides a quick but fun round for more advanced golfers.

Pace of Play
Once the starter sent me out, there was not a single person managing the pace of play, which was barely better than a public course.
Slow, Bad Conditions
Packed, short cheap course with low budget for maintenance. Avoid
$60 bucks for 9
$60 bucks for a nine hole course is crazy. Went because a friend wanted to go. But really $60 bucks. Can play Great Gorge for an extra $20 bucks and play 18.
Pace of Play So Slow
I live locally and sometimes just want to jump out with my son to play a quick 9 holes. Unfortunately, this is the only course around that I could do that. After yesterday, I just don't see myself playing here anymore. The value is just not there. $40 per person for 9 holes at 4:30 in the afternoon with aerated greens that took about 2.5 hours. Unbearable. There was a group of kids in there 20's in front of us that looked like they have never played, could not advance the ball at all. Driving through the bunkers and doing 180's around the greens. I would have tried to play through if not for a group of 6 in front of them. This has happened more than once and is just a complete waste of money. I suggest just paying more to play 18 at Turkey or Crystal and just leave after 9 holes. It just sucks to have to pay $55 to play 9 holes at twilight hours. That's $110 for me and my son. Golf is going in the wrong direction. It's making it really difficult to get kids into the game at these prices.
Replay
Told over the phone days prior we would be able to replay Cascadses after finishing. We were again told at the course we could replay upon completion by the front desk and starter. Once we finished, the same staff member told us there was no possible way for us to replay and they were booked for the day all week. Unsure why they told us we could replay if they knew they were fully booked.
Second round of the year
For mid March this place was in great shape. Greens were a little slow but other than that we’re in great shape. Pace of play was great too. Finished in a little over two hours. Probably my favorite 9 hole course in New Jersey.
Nice 9-hole course
Played on New Yr's Eve for a quick 9-hole round on a 50-degree day. Course was in excellent condition for the time of year; greens were slow as expected, since they haven't been cut or mowed for a while. Pace of play was a bit slow but that was due to folks wanting to take advantage of the warm day.
Beautiful view
While the course had a beautiful view it was somewhat confusing as it seemed there was more signage for soccer golf than the holes.
Either way, beautiful view!
