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.

Not for serious golfers
Played here as our normal venue was booked solid. This was the Friday before July fourth and was a legal holiday. Very crowded as to be expected. Played 18 holes and the first 9 were fine. Course is a combination of golf and foot golf, there were many flags all over the course including large holes for foot golf, smaller but still large holes for "family" golf and the normal golf flag. Course itself it very hilly. Fairways were just ok but the greens were fine but very slow. The second nine was an issue as they just keep on booking tee times without thought that many are playing twice. Waited about 1/2 hour to start second nine and the play was very slow. All the staff were quite nice but the course lacks amenities. The restroom sign on the course pointed you to a porta-john, ugh! Over priced for what it is. Quite a long ride considering the overall experience.
Cascades
1)The course and staff were fine. Hiwever they have sprinklers on timers, during PLAY! So at 11 am the sprinklers went on for 10-15 minutes on the 2nd hole green!!!
2)Also, they were mowing, and building with really loud machinery near and on holes, which was really annoying.
3) never did a food/drink cart come around
4)1 hole had a hole with a flag ON THE GEEEN,so I had to move my golfball to the side of it to putt!
Great course
Beautiful course and very challenging. I recommend it
great value.
Great value, beautiful location, friendly staff.
Course is difficult and there are a lot of lost balls.
Would play this course again.
Sandy Greens?
I've played this course a handful of times before. Golfnow often has significant discounts, so this is usually a fallback option for me (please note this is a pretty solid course, but it loses points with me because it's 9 and you go around twice). I realize it's pretty early in the season...there was probably snow on the ground there until early April...but the greens were recently aerated or topdressed, etc. There was sand on the greens and the grass was long and thin. I feel as though Golfnow or at least the proshop should have mentioned this.
I frequent the courses that are part of the Crystal Springs Golf Resort. They're generally a pleasure to play, if not too expensive. However, they dropped the ball on this one.
Wonderful Experience
Played 18 holes with my eight year old son. He was made to feel welcomed and had a great time from the junior tees. The course is in great shape. Ample room to hit your driver and the course plays very fair, no tricks. Greens are challenging. Overall this nine hole course plays like a first class resort course, but is valued priced. We had foot golfers on the course that slowed things up for a few holes, but not really a big deal. We look forward to playing it again.
Awesome
Best 9 hole course around .....love the course design ...hats off to the staff ...tight at times but challenging and fair ...no gimmick holes (my problem with other CS courses) greens were still showing signs of the recent aeration ..no worries though as these things need to happen at some point ...and it was reflected in the price ...I'll be back before the season ends
A great course ruined by "foot" golf
Great course ruined by this new combination of soccer and golf. 9 holes takes 3 hours because of this inconvenience. Why? To make more money maybe? For every hole you have 2 foot golf holes and according to the Marshall you can't tee off til they are off the hole.
Well maintained but only 9 holes
It was well maintained, and its design was challenging. It is relatively long course (Blue tee was about 6600 yds). Only bad thing was that it only has 9 holes that you have to play twice to make 18 holes.
Too much going on
If the soccer course and kids kicking balls by your head while your teeing off isn't distracting enough, the 15 min wait to tee off will be enough to throw off your game. The people infront kept waiting for soccer players to play thru which took forever. Kids were loud. Decent conditions but not any place to concentrate on your game.
Head Scratcher
This course does have some interesting and challenging holes. The problem is that the course shares the holes with this new craze "Foot Golf". So there are soccer players and families with young children on the course with golfers and it does not mix well. I found it dangerous and an tragedy waiting to happen especially on holes with blind shots. There are long waits and no real rules or guidelines for golfers and foot players to safely coexist on the same holes. Foot golf needs to stay off the golf course and have it's own separate course.
Great course
Not too hard, not too easy. The course was well maintained.
Non-golfers on the course
With golf carts they were playing some sort of soccer game that the course has set up. The problem was, it was a big group and we had to wait at each hole. Not only that, but at the last hole, they drove their golf carts right across the green. Bizarre.
good, challenging lay out
this is my 3rd time playing this course. its a great 9 hole, with 2 par fives...the course is expertly kept and the greens are very good.
Foot and Family Golf Needs Etiquette Lessons
First of all, I love this course, but that love is fading...
The entire course was empty yesterday. A group of women were finishing hole 1 as their last hole, and I was early so I waited it out.
Teed off the second hole, and then a cart comes by with a mom, pop, and their two kids. The kick balls come out and they go to the ladies tee,
which, at this point is in front of me, and start kicking.
I whiz past them, slowly past their cart of course, and take off to get to my shot that's in a bunker. "stop! wait for the man to hit!" I hear, as I turn
around to see the two kids rolling up to within feet of my cart and the bunker, giggling laughing etc, just kicking the balls everywhere.
I love that they were all having a blast. I love that it's a family course, embedded in what really is quite a nice course design that is also challenging.
I hit a couple bad shots with the thoughts of them in the back of my head. When I got to the green they proceeded to the next hole, and after 5min I was able to tee off, luckily I never caught up to them again. But. That. Was. Annoying.
This has happened more than once, last time I was with other players, and a father/son footgolf pair held us up badly, repeating shots, missing by a mile and kicking it back, etc.
I've been there. 3 Septembers ago, this was the 2nd course I had ever played, and the one I honed my skills on. So I hate to complain. But maybe an intro to golf seminar, focusing not on rules but courtesy and how to keep the game flowing, would be great for all these folks, just to keep the flow of everything going.
I rated food n bev lower because maybe 3 times in 2 years have i seen the snack cart out on cascades.
