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.

Decent conditions for early march. Course drained well despite all the rain we’ve had. A challenging 9 hole layout.

We played right after rain in March so the course was soaked. The tee times were stacked up and we waited 45 minutes at the 1st tee. It kind of opened up with only short wait times at a few holes.

Cascades

This is a very nice 9 hole course and is a part of Crystal Springs Resort. The course can be challenging for a new golfer. During the winter months there is not a lot of traffic and pace of play is very fast.
The staff is always pleasant and helpful.

Cascades

Played in December. Previous rain had the course soaked but playable. Excellent drainage. Excellent staff. Only downfall is it’s a combo soccer golf course as well so there’s other hole layouts for that. It’s not as difficult as the other courses there so most people play the other 4 courses. So if you’re just looking to get out quicker, it’s great. They take very good care of ALL of their courses.

Very Good 9 hole course

All around, a good experience

My biggest problem was the cart guys. My buddy and I showed up half an hour before the round. After checking in and paying for our round we wanted to get our cart and hit the driving range. The guys didn’t want to give us our cart at first. Said it was too early. Really rubbed me the wrong way. I think getting your cart 20 minutes early when you still are planning on going to driving range first is normal. They just were not very pleasant about it

Expected from Crystal Springs

You know what you’re getting from Crystal Springs. Nice long fairways that are in incredible shape, fast greens, panoramic views of the Appalachian mountains and great service. The course is beginner friendly but also has some pretty challenging holes as well. This was my first time playing a round at Cascades and I will be back to play more of the Crystal Springs courses.

Challenging for Beginners

Really fun course, it was my first time playing a Crystal Springs course and I was not disappointed. It has a good mix of easy and challenging holes. Layout is good, the holes are really far apart though. This is a good course for someone new to the game like myself. I shot a 52(it’s a 9 hole course)

enjoyed it

9 hole course, pretty straightforward layout which worked for me and my 12 year old son. beautiful scenery as you'd expect at crystal springs. better players will likely find this course pretty easy.

negatives were aerated greens and rock hard sand traps, but we had just gotten hammered by a big storm two days earlier so i'll give them a pass.

the tavern was great for a meal afterward. overall, definitely enjoyed it and will be back.
