Cascade used to be a nice community par 35 nine-hole layout. When a school and housing development gobbled up much of the ninth hole and others, the owner decided to venture into the mountains north of the original 9 and expand to an 18 hole layout. It didn't work. The billy-goat back is ridiculous, featuring everything from blind tee shots to postage-stamp greeens to a drivable par five. With so many above-average championship 18 hole layouts now in the area for about the same price, Cascade is relegated to date-golf for students and old folks getting in their last few rounds before the big 19th hole in the sky. Avoid Cascade.
